1070 Max-Q better card than 1080 Max-Q for many reasons.
Here are some facts.
1060 Max-Q is 11% slower than 1060 Mobile but 53% faster than 1050ti Mobile.
1070 Max-Q is 18% slower than 1070 Mobile but 25% faster than 1060 Mobile.
1080 Max-Q is 12% slower than 1080 Mobile but 0% faster than 1070 Mobile.
1080 Max-Q is only GPU that is not faster than its lower tier mobile GPU.
1080 Max-Q is 18% faster than 1070 Max-Q
1070 Max-Q is 52% faster than 1060 Max-Q
1070 Max-Q has much higher performance jump from its lower tier Max-Q card.
Based on Asus Zephyrus GX501VI and GX501VS reviews,
1080 Max-Q temperature goes up to 80°C on load, whereas
1070 Max-Q temperature goes up to 70°C on load.
In which it gives 1070 Max-Q a headroom to overclock, reducing performance difference with 1070 mobile and 1080 Max-Q, while
1080 Max-Q will throttle if overclocked.
To conclude
Due to the nature of 1080's high TGP, Max-Q version of 1080 has worst efficiency, performing much like a 1070 card.
1070 Max-Q a smarter choice for the Max-Q Laptop for its performance efficiency and better acoustic. [Jan '18nday76]
The RTX 3060 Ti is Nvidia’s latest 3000 series GPU. Assuming it (ever…) comes into stock at $400 USD, it will take the crown as the best value for money graphics card. Nvidia’s new Ampere architecture, which supersedes Turing, offers both improved power efficiency and performance. The 3060 Ti features 4,864 CUDA cores, 152 Tensor cores, it has a boost clock of 1.665 GHz, 8 GB of memory and a power draw of just 200 W. Nvidia’s entire 3000 series lineup offers once in a decade price/performance improvements. The 3060 Ti beats the previous generation’s 2060 Super by 30% in terms of effective speed at the same MSRP. Given the widespread issues AMD users are facing with 5000 series GPUs (blue/black screens etc.), AMD’s 6000 series GPU’s will have to see substantial price cuts and a huge marketing effort in order to gain any traction. Meanwhile, Christmas has come early for PC gamers who can look forward to an unparalleled gaming experience in class leading titles such as Cyberpunk 2077. At ultra settings, with ray tracing enabled, Cyberpunk 2077 redefines the boundaries of immersive gaming. It makes GTA5 look like Tetris in comparison. The combination of RTX+DLSS delivers stunning graphics that are several tiers higher than both AMD's best discrete GPUs and the upcoming consoles. In terms of real world performance, Nvidia’s 3000 series has more or less put AMD’s Radeon group in checkmate. Nonetheless, AMD’s marketers are capable of delivering elaborate BS albeit whilst struggling to keep a straight face. Their marketing infrastructure outsold Intel in the CPU market despite a 15% performance deficit. Without an appropriate social media marketing strategy, Nvidia may lose considerable market share, for all the wrong reasons. [Dec '20GPUPro]
