NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2016. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP104B) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1070 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 2,002 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 256.3 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GTX 1070 Mobile includes 2,048 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,443 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,645 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 128 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 120 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 1070 Mobile has the 104th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 21.58% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
