Just a day ahead of their official launch, the test results of Nvidiaโ€™s GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4060, and RTX 4050 on a mainstream laptop have been leaked โ€“ showing their lowered performance but higher efficiency than their predecessors.

This is the result of Nvidia using entry-level dies with limited core count and memory configurations for these cards โ€“ which produced fair improvements to their GeForce RTX 30 Series counterparts. Here are the results;

Performance Tests of GeForce RTX 40 Series

As weโ€™re expecting the next generation of Nvidiaโ€™s GeForce cards to perform great, the company slightly disappoints us with the leaked test results. The chips โ€“ GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4060, and RTX 4050 were tested against a Lenovo high-end laptop with a 13th Gen Raptor Lake-HX chip that has 150W TGP and a 205W TPP.

And for results, the new-gen GPUs are tested in various AAA and eSports titles at 1080p & 1440p resolutions, resulting as below;

Nvidiaโ€™s GeForce RTX 4050 offered a 37.3% performance improvement over the RTX 3050 Ti, while the RTX 4060 offered a 19.3% improvement over the RTX 3060, and surprisingly, the high-end chip โ€“ RTX 4070 performed 4% slower than the RTX 3070 Ti โ€“ by the averages in the 3DMark benchmark.

This was intriguing, and as expected, considering how Nvidia is cutting the costs of these new chips โ€“ while also overcharging them! Whatโ€™s more intriguing was that both RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 capped out around 110W in terms of performance, while the RTX 4050 capped out around 90W โ€“ lower than their peak numbers as listed by Nvidia.

Well, the platform design theyโ€™re hosted on โ€“ a standard 29ร—29 package codenamed as โ€œPCB2โ€, features a 5+1 phase design with 140W max power โ€“ which can also be used for RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 GPUs which feature a 40ร—40 SKU with a 7+2 phase power design. Though theyโ€™re conservative and cost-effective for Nvidia, they arenโ€™t much excitement for the users, especially the high-end RTX 4070.
