Nvidia RTX 3070 for notebooks underperforms RTX 2080 Ti

A notebook RTX 3070 GPU has been spotted in the V-Ray 5 tool, which was recently updated to support ray tracing effects with Nvidia’s Ampere graphics cards.

It is said that RTX 30 “Ampere”-based notebook GPUs will make their debut early next year, and likely AMD’s Cezanne H processors as well. Together, they could bring to life some of the most powerful notebooks on the market. While we wait, some performance results of the RTX 30 GPUs are starting to appear for the notebook segment.

Performance results for a notebook RTX 3070 with ray tracing support can be found on the V-Ray 5 website.

Since this is a variant for laptops, it probably has more modest clock speeds than the desktop model and a few cuts above others. This explains why it has a performance slightly below the desktop RTX 2080 Ti. However, we see that it is twice as fast as the laptop RTX 2080 Super in ray tracing tests (1394 points vs. 733 points).

It is commented that the number of cores in this model could have been lowered and have the same number as a desktop RTX 3060 Ti, i.e. 4864 CUDA cores, this is less than the 5888 CUDA cores in the desktop RTX 3070 model.

Currently, Nvidia offers notebook GPUs of Max-P variants for gaming enthusiasts and Max-Q variants with a TGP cut of around 30-40W. It’s difficult to determine which variant they tested with V-Ray, but the results aren’t that bad. We will keep you posted on the latest news.
