GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs GeForce RTX 5070 Ti specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti in gaming.

Our database shows that 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 significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has a slightly lower TDP at 300 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 5070 Ti is better than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.
