GeForce RTX 3060 vs GeForce RTX 5070 Ti benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti beats the GeForce RTX 3060 in gaming performance.

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3060 has a significantly lower TDP at 170 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti at 300 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is faster than the GeForce RTX 3060.
