GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel)

2016

Why buy it

  • Draws 240W instead of 300W, a 60W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon Pro W6900X across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 32 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Poor future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 2.9 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $6,000 MSRP).

Radeon Pro W6900X

2021

Why buy it

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Pro W6900X better than GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel)?
Yes. Radeon Pro W6900X is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon Pro W6900X averages 136.4% more FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 17,413 vs 17,790 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Pro W6900X is a 2021 card with FSR upscaling, while GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel) is a 2016 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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?
Radeon Pro W6900X is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 2016, more VRAM at 32 GB instead of 8 GB, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 7nm process instead of 16nm. 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?
Radeon Pro W6900X is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Radeon Pro W6900X is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $6,000 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 136.4% more estimated average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (17,413 vs 17,790). It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. GeForce GTX 1070 SLI (móvel) is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around an unclear MSRP, even if Radeon Pro W6900X is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
