NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop vs AMD Radeon RX 7700S vs AMD Radeon RX 7600S

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop is a mobile graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops, which was unveiled at CES 2025. It is based on the GB206 chip with 4,608 shader / CUDA cores clocked at 1425 - 2347 MHz (depending on the model). The graphics memory used is 8 GB GDDR7 with a 128-bit memory bus.

Architecture

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 laptop has new Tensor (5th generation) and RT cores (4th generation) with a performance of 798 AI TOPS. The Blackwell architecture is the first with the new DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, which can generate more frames per second thanks to improved AI capabilities, while using less memory and delivering better image quality. Nvidia has also managed to improve the performance and output quality of the DLSS, Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction features (which were also available on the previous RTX 4000 series). In addition, the new models now support Reflex 2 mode with low latency and Frame Warp.

Performance

The gaming performance of the RTX 5070 Mobile is heavily dependent on the cooling and TDP settings of the laptop. As a result, the maximum clock rate can also vary from 1425 to 2347 MHz. On average, the performance is usually slightly above the old RTX 4070 Laptop GPU but below the RTX 3080 Ti laptop. A new feature of the Blackwell architecture is the support for multi-frame generation (MFG) in DLSS4. This allows significantly higher frame rates to be achieved, but without MFG you should already reach over 50 fps to achieve a playable latency.

The chip is manufactured in the current TSMC 4N process.

AMD Radeon RX 7700S

The AMD Radeon RX 7700S is a mobile upper mid-range graphics card based on the Navi 33 chip (RDNA 3 architecture) manufactured in 6nm. It features 2,048 cores (32 CUs - compute units) and 8 GB of fast GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a 128 Bit memory bus. The chip also includes 32 MB Infinity Cache. The clock speed of the cores will depend on the laptop according to AMD. The specified game clock speed is 2200 MHz (most likely at 100 W TGP). The 7700S is the power efficient version of the RX 7600M XT with slightly reduced clock speeds (-100 MHz) and TDP (-20W max).

AMD compares the performance to the old Radeon RX 6700S, that is easily beaten by the 7700S. As the theoretical performance is only slightly below the 7600M XT (at 100W TGP), the 7700S should also beat the RTX 3060 desktop GPU. Although the Raytracing performance did increase for RDNA 3, the GeForce GPUs are still faster in this regard.

The Navi 33 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the current 6nm process (versus 4nm of Nvidia RTX 4000 series). The power consumption (TGP) is specified at 75 to 100 Watt.

AMD Radeon RX 7600S

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S is a mobile upper mid-range graphics card based on the Navi 33 chip (RDNA 3 architecture) manufactured in 6nm. It features 1,792 cores (28 CUs - compute units) and 8 GB of fast GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a 128 Bit memory bus. The chip also includes 32 MB Infinity Cache. The clock speed of the cores will depend on the laptop according to AMD. The specified game clock speed is 1865 MHz (most likely at 75 W TGP). The 7600S is the low power variant of the of the RX 7600M with lower clock speeds (-205 Mhz / -10%) and a lower power consumption (-15W / -17% TGP).

The performance should be slightly below the RX 7600M and therefore similar to the old RX 6650M XT (28 CUs RDNA 2, higher clock speed) and therefore best suited for 1080p gaming. Although the Raytracing performance did increase for RDNA 3, the GeForce GPUs are still faster in this regard.

The Navi 33 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the current 6nm process (versus 4nm of Nvidia RTX 4000 series). The power consumption (TGP) is specified at 50 to 75 Watt.
