GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4070 Ti specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4070 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 4070 Ti 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 12 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti has a slightly lower TDP at 285 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is faster than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.
