Hey dude thanks for all the great reviews you do with laptops. I just wanted to ask if you could throw in one more collection of averages. You get the data anyway. 1% lows. To me it looks like the difference may be significant enough to point it out when even though avg. is about the same it looks like the 1% lows were worse for the 4070. It's just one more chart to show for each resolution you show the avg. for. Thanks again and always good stuff.

[@Piketom1]

CPU temperatures and power requirements are still a major problem in laptops, even relatively beefy gaming laptops. A lower TGP for the graphics card means more power can be sent to the CPU. From personal experience, 70 and 80 series GPUs are typically more limited by the CPU performance in a laptop than anything else. Alleviating the thermal constraints on the system by allowing the GPU to get similar performance at a lower wattage makes a big difference in that regard.

[@kerrybaldino8826]

Great comparison! Yeah I was worried when I started seeing the new naming of the laptop GPUs with a 4090 instead of a 4080 as the top. Instantly put up red flags in my eyes. Basically every laptop GPU is one step down from what they were in the previous gen.

Nvidia always does Nvidia things hoping buyers see the 4090 / 4080 performance and expect the 4070 to be not too far off as it used to be in the past. If they don't watch reviews there they go... Nvidia sold us a 4060 as 4070 :) Actually they just moved up a tier in price without delivering. The 4090 -> 4080 and the 4080 -> 4070. The 4070 -> 4060 and the 4060 should be a 4050Ti.

Embarrassment to unabashedly sell something that was very clearly designed to be a 4060 as a 4070 at a higher price than the 3070 sold at when production costs are likely a little lower. They're just trying to get the market to accept covid/mining prices as normal. When else have we seen in tech an actual regression in price to performance at launch msrp gen over gen? It's only the last few years and they're trying to get everyone to just be okay with it.

I did it because budget wasn't too much of a concern and the newer 40 series laptops have the ability to be much quieter, and indeed, it is much quieter than all the laptops I tried in 2022. If noise is not a priority for you, 30 series is still plenty good.

I think it can be summed up a lot by just saying "If you're buying a new laptop with the 40 series GPUs, you're buying them for the frame generation feature". Obviously the performance is going to be similar, therefor, if you're looking for a deal, get last years model. If you're looking for this years performance and are willing to pay the extra $ for the frame generation feature then there you go.

If you can find 3060 with decent price, I suggest you grab it... But unless you are on Desktop, I do hope you can hold your old GPU until RTX 50 series is out in 1.5 years from now, that is where the competition get stacked with Intel, AMD, and Nvidia. not only the 3050 series will get obsolete in approximately 2 years, now Nvidia hope consumers will get satisfied with this 40 series because of DLSS 3?

[@xerogue]

4070 is really a 4060.

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

A desktop 4060, yes. The laptop has always been one tier down in specs and performance from the desktop naming scheme. 80->70, 70->60, etc. In fact, you can look at this and see the type of performance a desktop 4060 will have stock. The desktop version will have a bit more power to play with for overclocking but in general this is probably the 4060's performance, as has been the case every generation for the last 10 years.

[@xerogue]

@@CyberneticArgumentCreator nope my point is that typically we see a massive uplift in mobile generational performance. For example a 3060m matched a 2080m. The fact a 4070m can't even beat a 3070tim shows that the card is basically a 4060m branded as a 4070m. Proof is in the cuda core count

This video makes me feel so much better about the laptop I bought. Back in September I bought an Asus Zephyrus Pro Duo 16. The model I got has the 6900HX, 3070TI (150 watt TDP) 32gb DDR5 ram, 1TB SSD, and the 165HZ 1200p display. I got mine on sale for $2999 Canadian (or about $2200 USD) and ended up getting it for $2850 since Asus mis-advertised it with a 1600 display (I don't really mind at 16 inches 1200p is fine) so I essentially got it for $2100 USD. I absolutely love the dual display setup and generally everything about it. $2100 USD for a pro duo is already insane and now seeing that my laptop more or less competes with rtx 4070 laptops is a huge relief. I knew the new GPUs were coming out this year but decided to bite the bullet. Glad I did considering the performance is more or less the same and I got my laptop for an insane sales price

4090 is as it should be. It's a clear stand out. It was/is the flagship. I don't think anything 'sketchy' happened here. It's everything else that is/was the problem. The 4080 looks like it was originally 2 variants. 16gb vram and 12. The 12 is now the current 4070ti after nvidia got absolutely put through the ringer for the 12gb pricing/performance. It's why no 4070ti FE exists. Other than this, as we see here, is as originally designed. Which is a problem. Again... as we see here. While the 4070ti (aka 4080 12gb) was absolutely DRAGGED by reviewers and content creators... it looks like it's probably the best bet of the bunch in terms of price/performance. It's the only one outside of the 4090 that's been correctly (re)branded. The performance based on it's predecessor makes sense. The pricing is still up for debate.

[@OneAngrehCat]

I wondered if with their policy of 50% increase of power for 50% increase of price (so, same thing 2 years later), Nvidia would not end up with reviewers comparing a say 4060 to 3070 or 4070 to 3080 and saying it's the same thing at some point. I was wrong. The 3070 Ti laptop is a 4070 laptop. Bravo Jensen.

[@reaper7910]

So basically, the 4070 is just '3070Ti but with more features'. Though for me, I'd still probably go for the new laptops this year mainly because of the 16 10 screens. Now I hope Jarrod puts out the 3060 vs 4060 comparison next for us more midrange folks

[@vmafarah9473]

It's worse than 3070ti imo. 128bit bus is like we see in a 1050ti. Games that are highly being dependent will suffer with 1% low dips and be a stuttery mess. There is a minimum FPS to uses does frame generation you can't make 30fps games buttery smooth by dlss3.

I always skeptical when nvidia publish the specification of RTX 40 series laptop which most of them has less cuda cores compared to 30 series. I guess 4060 will have the same story since it only has 3072 versus 3840 on the RTX 3060

[@mbvglider]

One of the things that you have to consider, though, is that not everyone wants a big, sweaty gaming laptop with an 8 pound brick. I think the 4070 is still a good chip because a lot of form factors that would have never been able to host a 3070 Ti will be able to have a 4070. Don't be surprised if you start seeing business, mainstream, relatively portable laptops, fully USB-C powered laptops with 4070, like XPS class laptops. Sure, it won't be at max TDP, but not everything has to be max performance all the time, and those would have been laptops that had a 3060 last generation. Most reasonable users will not chase fps while running their fans at 50+ dB. But yes, of course, there will be a 4070 Ti next year.

[@vasylzhydun8879]

Actually the FPS per W graph tells pretty existing thing. Laptops like XPS 15-17, ThinkPads, and other non gaming specific laptops with 50 to 70W at GPU will be pretty close to previously thiker and heavier proper gaming laptops. Jump from 3060 to 4070 for XPS might bring more than 50% graphical performance to those machines.

as someone that picked up a 4090 and are using it in a 8700k system until i do a new build, frame generation is pretty magical and you can't tell a difference unless you spin the camera fast.
