GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop vs Radeon R9 380X: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop vs Radeon R9 380X
The GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop is dramatically faster, around 300% ahead of the Radeon R9 380X. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
At 115W against 190W, the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Pascal architecture on a TSMC 16nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop carries 8GB versus 4GB on the Radeon R9 380X. The extra 4GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon R9 380X offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop or Radeon R9 380X?
The GeForce GTX 1070 Laptop is the faster card by about 300%. 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.
