The 140W GeForce RTX 4070 has enough power for more than 100FPS on Ultra details in heavy games such as Borderlands 3 or Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Keep in mind that our laptop has just one RAM module installed and it works in single-channel mode. The FPS scores here should be higher if the memory is in dual-channel mode.
