Verdict

As you may expect the GeForce RTX 3070 (130W) is faster and if we have to be more specific – it’s 31% faster on average when compared to its smaller sibling. The bigger GPU can deliver enough frames per second on Ultra for a 144 Hz display.

On the other hand, the 85W GPU shows decent results for a video card with this kind of TGP. It can show more than 100 FPS on Ultra which is still fine for smooth gameplay.
