GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU

2021

Why buy it

✅50.8% more average FPS across 36 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs Unknown).
✅More future proof: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 290W instead of 475W, a 185W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 7.1 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $2,199 MSRP).

Radeon Pro Vega II

2019

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 7.1 vs 0 G3D/$ ($2,199 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU across 36 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
❌Poor future-proofing: 2019-era hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌63.8% higher power demand at 475W vs 290W.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU better than Radeon Pro Vega II?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU averages 50.8% more FPS across 36 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 15,196 vs 15,597 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU is a 2021 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon Pro Vega II is a 2019 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 2019, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of Unknown, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $2,199 MSRP, and you are getting 50.8% more estimated average FPS across 36 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (15,196 vs 15,597). Radeon Pro Vega II really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon Pro Vega II still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon Pro Vega II is 2019 hardware with Unknown of VRAM, 15,597 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
