GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER beats the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti in gaming performance.

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 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 4070 SUPER also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has a significantly lower TDP at 220 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti at 350 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is better than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.
