NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 (Laptop) vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

The Nvidia Quadro RTX 3000 for laptops is a professional high-end graphics card for big and powerful laptops and mobile workstations. It is based on the same TU106 chip as the consumer GeForce RTX 2070 (mobile) but with reduced shaders, clock speeds and memory bandwidth. 

The Quadro GPUs offer certified drivers, which are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications (CAD, DCC, medical, prospection, and visualizing applications). The performance in these areas is therefore much better compared to corresponding consumer GPUs.

Features

NVIDIA manufacturers the TU106 chip on a 12 nm FinFET process and includes features like Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and Real-Time Ray Tracing (RTRT), which should combine to create more realistic lighting effects than older GPUs based on the company's Pascal architecture (if the games support it). The Quadro RTX 3000 is also DisplayPort 1.4 ready, while there is also support for HDMI 2.0b, HDR, Simultaneous Multi-Projection (SMP) and H.265 video en/decoding (PlayReady 3.0).

Performance

In professional applications, the Quadro RTX 3000 can be faster GeForce RTX 2070 due to the optimized drivers and bigger VRAM.

The high power consumption of the RTX3000 makes the card most suited for big and heavy laptops. The slower Max-Q variant is intended for thinner laptops.
