Nvidia unveiled the GeForce RTX 3070 alongside other mobile graphics chips like RTX 3080 and RTX 3060 Max-Q as well as RTX 3060 desktop GPU. And although each of these products is competent in their own respective price slots, here in this article, we will be going through the RTX 3070 GPU for laptops. It is based on Nvidia’s Ampere architecture and comes within the upper mid-range gaming laptops in the market. Let’s first learn why about a year later, it still stands strong as one of the best performers on the turf. And then, we will go through some of the best RTX 3070 laptops to buy in India.
Nvidia RTX 3070 Specs
Well, not just the RTX 3070 specifications, but how it is compared against its siblings.

You can’t go wrong with any of these RTX chips for their respective asking prices. But, RTX 3070 finds itself in a fine middle ground. Also, whence pit against the desktop RTX 3070, the laptop GPU is more power-efficient but of course weaker in raw performance. By how much, well, you could expect a 95W power limit discrepancy between the two.
Let’s now check out the machines wielding this graphics card:
