NVIDIA’s Laptop RTX 5070 12 GB Matches the 8 GB Version in Synthetic Tests, Leaked Benchmarks Show

Leaked benchmarks of NVIDIA’s unannounced RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 12 GB GDDR7 show performance roughly on par with the 8 GB model in most synthetic tests.

The 12 GB version only pulls ahead in a larger AI benchmark, where extra memory appears to help.

That suggests the higher-VRAM model may not boost gaming performance much, but could be more attractive for AI and other memory-heavy workloads.

Both 8 GB and 12 GB variants are expected to coexist, shaping buyer expectations and pricing.
