Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU better than Radeon RX 6700?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 32.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data, 3.4% higher PassMark G3D performance, and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. It also comes from 2023 instead of 2021, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

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

GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2021, the stronger feature stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation instead of FSR 3 + AFMF, and a 4nm process instead of 7nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

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

GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU is about 5.5% more expensive on MSRP at $400 MSRP versus $379 MSRP, and you are getting 32.9% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 3.4% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 6700 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Radeon RX 6700 still makes more sense on price alone and remains capable enough for modern gaming.

Is Radeon RX 6700 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon RX 6700 is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to $379 MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU earns that extra money with a clearly stronger gaming result and a more complete overall package.
