GeForce RTX 3090 vs RTX 2000 Ada Generation benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3090 beats the RTX 2000 Ada Generation in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the RTX 2000 Ada Generation has a slightly 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 RTX 2000 Ada Generation also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the RTX 2000 Ada Generation has a significantly lower TDP at 70 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3090 at 350 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 is faster than the RTX 2000 Ada Generation.
