Verdict
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 SLI Mobile
3.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A fascinating but obsolete dual-GPU experiment; SLI's driver dependency means a single modern mobile GPU is the far more reliable and often faster choice today.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q
6.1 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid value Max-Q option in its generation, now dated next to Ampere and RDNA 2 mobile GPUs in both raw performance and upscaling quality.
