GeForce RTX 2070 vs GeForce RTX 3060 Ti specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 2070 in gaming.

By comparing the spec sheets, both the GeForce RTX 2070 and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti have the same base clock speed. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 8 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 2070 has a slightly lower TDP at 175 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti at 200 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is faster than the GeForce RTX 2070.
