I’m trying to decide between two laptops. One has an RTX 3060 with 6GB of VRAM and a 2K 165Hz monitor, while the other comes with an RTX 3070 that has 8GB of VRAM and a 1080p 240Hz monitor. There’s a 20% price difference, but both laptops have the same i7 11800H processor. The RTX 3070 model also offers 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD, compared to 16GB RAM and a 500GB SSD on the RTX 3060. My question is simple: is it worth it to go for the 1440p display and save some cash, or should I just opt for the better 3070?

Honestly, the RTX 3060 isn’t really designed for 1440p gaming. You’ll struggle a bit there. The 3070 is better suited for 1080p and will even hold up well if you connect a 1440p monitor later on.
I’d go with the RTX 3070. It’ll give you better performance overall, especially in newer games, and you’ll be more future-proof for high-demand titles.
I think the 3070 is your best bet, especially with the extra VRAM and overall performance boost. It generally performs around 20% better in games, plus it’ll handle demanding applications like video editing and 3D design more efficiently.
Got it! So, moving from a MacBook M1 Pro to a 3070 could really enhance my video editing experience?
