NVIDIA RTX 3070

The laptop RTX 3070 brings Ampere gaming performance to notebooks with 5,120 CUDA cores, 8GB of GDDR6, and a 256-bit memory bus feeding 448GB/s of bandwidth - fewer cores than its desktop namesake, since mobile silicon is trimmed down to fit a laptop's power and thermal budget. It's a solid 1440p-capable chip for gaming laptops of its era, and handles 1080p ultra settings with ease.

NVIDIA lets manufacturers configure this GPU's power limit per laptop model, and the 125W figure here is just a typical point in that range - a thin gaming laptop running it lower will trail a bulkier chassis running it higher, even though both are sold under the same "RTX 3070" name. Always check a specific laptop's listed wattage rather than assuming.

DLSS 2 is what's on offer here - AI Super Resolution upscaling, DLAA, and Ray Reconstruction, without the Frame Generation NVIDIA introduced two generations later. Resizable BAR support is standard on mobile Ampere too, letting the CPU access the full 8GB of VRAM in one block instead of smaller windows.
