I’m considering getting the 2024 version of the Tuf gaming A15.
No, the RTX 4070 laptop is not even close to the RTX 4070 desktop in terms of performance. If you want something with performance close to the RTX 4070 desktop then you need to look for a RTX 4080.

It seems there are differing opinions on this matter. Some might suggest other configurations or components based on specific gaming or performance needs.
@Olen
Not true, the 4090 laptop is more 4070 ti level and has 16gb of VRam compared the 12GB of a regular 4070.

4090 laptop is at most a 4070 super with 16gb vram

Its not, you can reference for example the recent Nvidia own benchmarks for Stalker 2, keep in mind the laptop benchmarks have a weaker CPU compared to the one in desktop
No. Laptop GPUs are always weaker than desktop GPUs. You can look up sites that compare the two, but those are somewhat unreliable. Probably be better to find a YouTube video that compares the two GPUs.
@Paris
Not true for every mobile GPU. 4060 mobile has basically the same performance of the desktop version. 3060 mobile is really close to the desktop 3060

It only happens in those models, the higher the range the GPU, the more power cuts the 4060 will have, it is very low consumption, it is one of the reasons why they are so similar
Once I watched a Cyberpunk side to side benchmark, the desktop GPU went like 40% better. I can’t say it is the same for every game, but it will definitely be worse. The laptop GPUs are more energy efficient though, they have more fps per watt compared to the desktop GPUs. Remember that the temps will almost never be good anyway, and you need to keep it clean. I’d say that if you can, the desktop will be a better idea. It depends on your personal needs though
Not even close. RTX 4070 mobile chip is basically desktop 4060 ti (Not exactly same chip but pretty similar) with much less power budget and it performs almost same as desktop 3060 ti. 4080 mobile GPU has the same performance level as desktop 4070 which is roughly 55% more powerful than 4070 laptop. Yep difference between a laptop GPU and a desktop GPU that HAS THE SAME name is that big. Nvidia being Nvidia and misinforming the clueless customers which is the vast majority of the customers to fill their pockets.
@Cameron
Here’s a comparison for the 4080 and for the 4070
@Cameron
So a 4070 laptop which costs me $1000+ is performing the same as a 3060ti desktop which is much much cheaper. That is wild, NVIDIA must be joking about these 4000 series laptops. I can’t even imagine upcoming 5000 series laptops which has mostly the same VRAM capacity.
@Eli
Well, NVIDIA always does this and to be honest, it’s not possible to give the same level of performance with half of the power and fewer cores, but just naming desktop and laptop GPUs the same is the reason NVIDIA is just being a scammy corporation. Older models had M after the model number which indicated they’re indeed a mobile version and not the exact chip with a desktop namesake but NVIDIA realized they can change that, name both the same since same named GPUs are in the same tier in their own platform and sell them like they’re the same while being almost 60% performance difference between them. Previous gens didn’t have such a huge gap between laptop and desktop variants but with the 40 series, it just looks straight up scam and this ridiculous performance gap starts with 4070 and goes all the way up to 4090. They don’t even remotely have the same VRAM ffs. This is why competition always benefits the customers and right now on the higher end desktop and laptop platform NVIDIA has no significant competition so they can do whatever they want.
@Cameron
Older gens also didn’t have such a Power gap. You Need to consider you can’t really cool more than 200w on a mobile cooling system. And while on 10xx series the desktop and laptop variants used a similar amount of Power, remember, the desktop 1080 had 180w TDP. The 4090 has a 450w TDP, which a laptop can’t even get close to, both from a Power delivery side of things and from a cooling side of things. Of course, there’s a huge gap in performance when one card Is limited by design to not even half the wattage its counterpart gets…
@Cameron
Wait until you hear about the silliness of Dell XPS laptops. I’ve got an XPS 17 with a 4080 in it, but it performs like a 4060 due to the power limit of the 130W Type-C charger.
I’ve never seen more “Not even close” comments in a forum thread since the last time this was asked.
Not even close, it’s in entirely different tier lol. 4070 laptop is like a 4060 desktop. Your VRAM is only 8GB, not 12

Actually, the 4060 mobile GPU is very similar to the 4060 desktop GPU in terms of performance. But this is the only exception lol
@Zeek
In fact, 4060 mobile is somewhat better in terms of efficiency since it has TSMC 4nm compared to 5nm desktop one. It’s simply 4060 desktop with a better node and lower clock.
