Intel Arc A570M vs GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Intel Arc A570M vs GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop

The Intel Arc A570M is noticeably faster, around 17% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Intel Arc A570M is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Power & Efficiency

The Intel Arc A570M draws just 95W versus 115W for the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Generation & Longevity

The Intel Arc A570M is roughly 7 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop (Alchemist vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Intel Arc A570M offers Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap. The Intel Arc A570M also has dedicated ray-tracing hardware that the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop lacks — a real gap if you play ray-traced titles.

Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop or Intel Arc A570M?

The Intel Arc A570M is the faster card by about 17%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Intel Arc A570M better than the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop?

The Intel Arc A570M is noticeably faster, roughly 17% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop or the Intel Arc A570M?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Can the Intel Arc A570M or GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop handle ray tracing?

Only the Intel Arc A570M has dedicated ray-tracing cores; the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop lacks them, so ray-traced games will run far better on the Intel Arc A570M.
