GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop vs Radeon RX 7600 XT

Speed and memory

In our performance index the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop scores 33 and the Radeon RX 7600 XT scores 31, which makes the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop about 6% faster. That is a small gap, below what most people notice without a frame counter.

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop has 8 GB of video memory and the Radeon RX 7600 XT has 16 GB. That difference matters at 1440p and in new games at High textures, and it can outweigh a small speed advantage as the card ages.

In our estimates for popular games at 1080p on High, the biggest gap is in Red Dead Redemption 2 (112 against 106 fps), and the smallest is in Cyberpunk 2077 (86 against 82 fps). Games that are light enough to run above 200 fps on both cards show little difference at all.

Power and value

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop is rated at 150 W and the Radeon RX 7600 XT at 190 W. With a mid-range processor that means a power supply of about 550 W for the first and 550 W for the second. The power draw is close enough that cooling and noise will be similar.

We do not have launch prices for both cards, so we cannot compare value. Check current listings for both.

Which one to buy

Choose the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop if you want the faster card, and you can accept 8 GB of memory. It makes the most sense at 1440p and above, or on a monitor with a high refresh rate.

Choose the Radeon RX 7600 XT if the price gap matters more than the 6% speed difference, and you value the extra video memory. Whichever you pick, check reviews for the games you play, because two cards with similar scores can differ in individual titles.
