GeForce RTX 3090 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4070 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 4070 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4070 has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce RTX 4070 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 4070 has a significantly lower TDP at 300 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti at 450 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is faster than the GeForce RTX 4070.
