NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Max-Q

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile is a high end gaming graphics cards for laptops. It is the 2020 refresh of the GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile and may now also use the TU104 chip with more shaders (as the desktop RTX 2070 Super did). The older mobile RTX 2070 uses the TU106 chip with 2,304 shaders and should be slightly slower than the new Super model.

Features

NVIDIA manufacturers the TU106 and TU104 chips on a 12 nm FinFET process and includes features like Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and Real-Time Ray Tracing (RTRT), which should combine to create more realistic lighting effects than older GPUs based on the company's Pascal architecture (if the games supports it). The RTX 2070 Super is also DisplayPort 1.4 ready, while there is also support for HDMI 2.0b, HDR, Simultaneous Multi-Projection (SMP) and H.265 video en/decoding (PlayReady 3.0).

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Max-Q (for laptops, GN20-E5 Max-Q) is the former name for a RTX 3070 Laptop GPU with Max-Q technologies. In previous generations, the Max-Q name was used for low power versions. With the RTX 3000 series, every TGP-version can now use Max-Q technologies and all GPUs are called RTX 3070 Laptop GPU (80 - 125W).
