RTX 4070 vs RTX 4080 - DON’T Buy a 4070 Gaming Laptop!

⚠ Don't miss out! Save money on your gaming laptop with our daily deals: gaminglaptop.deals/ 3:31 Meant to say the 4080 is more power efficient. It uses more power, but the FPS improvement is higher. The graph is correct, what I said is wrong.

Me who was thinking to buy 4050 Him: 4060 Is worth spending extra Me: okay then let's go for 4060 Him: 4070 is more superior Me: okay we have come to far let's get 4070 Him: 4080 is much better Me: 😢 Him: I think you should go for 4090 for extra fps Me: bruh ☠️

Jarrod and everyone else: "just buy a 4080 instead of a 4070". Me: "sure blud, lemme pull another 1500€ out of my arsehole"

this conclusion of "just buy the more expensive model bro" is exactly why 'Ngreedia' created such a difference in performance between these cards. As consumers, you are being played.

The difference in Spain is 4070 for 1500€ and 4080 for 2100€. I think ill stay with the 4070 laptop

I absolutely love the Power Scaling graph you did, I wish all the reviewers provided this information. I would love to see this graph for the Asus G14 - 4070, 4080 and 4090 variants

At this moment, in BestBuy, the cheapest 4080 is costs 800US$ more than the cheapest 4070.

The voltage limit is an incredibly disingenuous move on nVidia’s part. If they advertised these cards as up to 100w, that would be fine as a marketing tool for efficiency. Instead, they get to advertise more power, more better, without actually delivering on performance

In Canada, the Legion 7i with a 4080 is going to be about $1,300 more than a Legion 5i with a 4070. Insane price difference, no reason to go for the 4080.

don't buy 4050 okay ı will buy 4060, don't buy 4060 okay ı will 4070, don't buy 4070 okay ı will 4080, dont buy 4080...

Sure the performance difference is large but the price is also large (Atleast in regions where i can buy it from) Usually it is around 400-600$ difference and then again you're not just looking at the GPU on paper when buying it. The TGP varies by models , plus the screen, cooling, battery life, upgradability all matter of the laptop all matter.

Your analysis and comparisons as always so thorough and accurate; so helpful to get the full picture. Thank you.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, if I'm deciding between a model of the ROG Zephyrus M16 would I be better off getting the 4070 version with the slimmer profile/thermals of the Zephyrus? The 4080 would thermal throttle and wouldn't be as powerful because of the 145W power limit? At that point if form factor isn't THAT important to me, would it just make sense to bite the bullet and get the ROG Strix Scar 16 with the 4080 with it having 175W?

I do agree with that statement, but I also think the 4070 has its place in thin and lights. The efficiency of this card is amazing laptops like the x13 and z13 are great examples of that

4070 is made purposefully bad by NVIDIA, the gap is made artificially HUGE, so the gamers will choose the pricier option. Also there is literally no performance gain between 3070 and 4070 which is laughable :D

Thank you for the great review! How much ticker and heavier are 4080 laptops? I am afraid there is a significative jump

Great review. Would add a caveat -- I think the mfgs realize they aren't selling so managed to get a 4070 legion that I paid 4060 prices for (~1350$ w. 7745hx). 4080 capable laptops seem to be outside my price range and would set me back quite a bit more.

You've played right into their hands. The entire purpose of the lower skus is to upsale for the 4080 and 4090

As always it just depends on price. If the price difference between a 4070 and 4080 is like 300 even 400 hundred dollars than by all means get a 4080. But right now you can get deals on 4070 laptops that make the price difference more like &700-$900. A Legion with 4070 can be had for like 1600-1700 right now, a 4080 version comes in 2500+. That's a gap in price that is actually bigger than the gap in relative GPU performance, as long as you are fine gaming at 1440p/1600p which these GPU's seem perfectly capable of handling.

Hey Jarrod! Can you please maybe review the MSI Bravo 15 with the RTX 4060? I believe it uses a 105W GPU which is exactly the sweet spot for performance as shown in your previous videos and it is sitting at a reasonable price.
