How can the new mobile GeForce RTX 3070 Ti be slower than the regular GeForce RTX 3070? Adapter test shows the importance of power limits

Modern mobile Nvidia graphics cards are available in versions with different power limits. And sometimes this leads to the fact that the model standing one step higher loses to the younger one just because of these very power limits. Once again, this can be seen on the example of the brand new mobile GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

As tests have shown, such a video card in the Max-Q version with a TGP of 105 W is inferior to a regular mobile RTX 3070 with a TGP of 150 W. At the same time, we recall that the RTX 3070 Ti has 5888 CUDA cores, while the RTX 3070 has 5120.

In this case, in the diagrams, the MSI Vector GP66 laptop is equipped with a 150-watt version of the RTX 3070 Ti, the Stealth GS66 offers a 105-watt version, and the XMG Apex 17 has a 150-watt RTX 3070.

As you can see, the unlimited power RTX 3070 Ti is easily ahead of everyone, but with the power limit reduced by almost a third, it can no longer compete with the RTX 3070.

This once again proves that the choice of a modern gaming laptop should be approached carefully and study the specifications in detail.
