About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce MX570

2022

Why buy it

  • Costs $349 less on MSRP ($150 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).
  • Draws 25W instead of 220W, a 195W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 3070 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 4 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Weaker long-term outlook: GeForce RTX 3070 is the safer future-proof pick thanks to newer hardware and better gaming feature support.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 38.3 vs 44.4 G3D/$ ($150 MSRP vs $499 MSRP).

GeForce RTX 3070

2020

Why buy it

  • 202.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 16.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 44.4 vs 38.3 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $150 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 better than GeForce MX570?
Yes. GeForce RTX 3070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 3070 averages 202.9% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 22,172 vs 5,738 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3070 is a 2020 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while GeForce MX570 is a 2022 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?
GeForce RTX 3070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting 286.4% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 4 GB, and better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 3070 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3070 is about 232.7% more expensive on MSRP at $499 MSRP versus $150 MSRP, and you are getting 202.9% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 286.4% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 16.2%. GeForce MX570 is the newer 2022 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and lower power draw (25W vs 220W) than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does GeForce MX570 make more sense than GeForce RTX 3070?
Yes. GeForce MX570 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (25W vs 220W), and staying closer to $150 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 3070. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 3070 currently gives you 286.4% higher G3D Mark and 202.9% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 16.2%.
