Pros & cons summary

Performance score	30.19	59.38
Recency	29 January 2019	18 May 2023
Chip lithography	12 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	80 Watt	160 Watt

RTX 2070 Max-Q has 100% lower power consumption.

RTX 4060 Ti, on the other hand, has a 96.7% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 4 years, and a 140% more advanced lithography process.

The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is our recommended choice as it beats the GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q in performance tests.

Be aware that GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q is a notebook card while GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a desktop one.
