Pascal · 2016
The mobile GTX 1070 doubles down on Pascal with 2048 cores, 8GB of GDDR5 and a wide 256-bit bus delivering 256 GB/s of bandwidth - specs that, at launch in 2016, rivaled a good desktop graphics card rather than a typical laptop GPU.
At 115W, it needs a laptop with serious cooling to sustain its clocks, but the payoff is 1440p-capable gaming and smooth 1080p at high or ultra settings in almost everything from its generation. It remains a strong performer for older and moderately demanding modern titles, and a popular choice among gamers who bought a laptop specifically to avoid a desktop card's power and noise.
Comfortable 1080p gaming and everyday creative tasks.
8 GB GDDR5 memory.
Push performance beyond base clock.
