Is 850w overkill for 3070?

Yes, assuming your PSU isn't incredibly cheap and providing way less power than advertised you should have absolutely no problem running those. Nvidia technically recommends a 650-watt power supply along with the 3070 but that is to cater to massive overclockers and people with power supplies much worse than claimed.

Is a rtx 3070 overkill?
Well the RTX 3070 will definitely average framerates (over various games) well over 144Hz so yeah it is a bit of an overkill but it depends on what price you can get it for. It's MSRP is $100 less than a RTX 2070 Super which averages just over 144FPS.

Is rtx 3070 overkill for laptop?
Is RTX 3070 overkill for 1080p 60hz? The recommended GPU for 1080p 60 Hz is a 2060 Super. So to get to 144 you'll need a 2080 at least. So for old games, basically everything made before 2020, a 3070 is overkill likely at 1080p.

Is rtx 3070 overkill for 1440p?
Is RTX 3070/2080 Ti overkill for 1440p 144Hz? No, it's not overkill. I recently got my hands on an RTX 3060 Ti and let me tell ya, it handles every game except for RDR2 and Cyberpunk 2077 buttery smooth. That's if you have a strong enough CPU to balance the power and performance.
