GeForce RTX 3070 Vs RTX 2080 Ti How Nvidias New Affordable GPU Compares

Nvidia announced several exciting new graphics cards today, which CEO Huang described as the biggest generational leap ever. Some announcements have shown the most impressive gains only at the top of the product line, at the highest prices. This event showed improvements throughout, even for the budget-priced GeForce RTX 3070. Could this increase in speed be enough to make the new low-cost GPU as powerful as the previous flagship?

Originally priced at $1,300, Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Ti was the top-of-the-line graphics card in 2018 and continued to hold that title until the RTX 30 series was announced today. Nvidia did create the Titan RTX, a $2,500 version, but it is more of a scientific research-level tool, rather than a graphics card. In 2019, Nvidia refreshed its cards, but focused on making them more affordable. The 2018 2080 Ti continued to lead the pack, loaded with 11-gigabytes of RAM and 68 ray tracing cores. More video game developers have taken advantage of ray tracing features in the last year making the need for a more powerful GPU even more important, so the RTX 30 series was a welcome treat.

As amazing as the previous generation of GPUs were, Nvidia claims that the new GeForce RTX 3070 is 60-percent faster on average than the GeForce RTX 2070. That means it is faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, the previous flagship model. This is a fantastic increase in speed and quality at a budget price. Of course, these generalizations are painted with broad strokes. For specific scenarios, the larger amount of RAM in the 2018 graphics card could handle higher resolution better. The RTX 3070 is said to support 4K gaming at 60 frames per second, but it won’t handle that rate with ray tracing on. Its bigger siblings, the RTX 3080 and 3090, will be needed for that.

RTX 3070 Advantages & Limitations

The GeForce RTX 3070 has 5888 CUDA cores and a boost speed of 1.73-gigahertz, while the RTX 2080 Ti has 4352 CUDA cores and a 1.63-gigahertz. The former uses the new Ampere system architecture, versus the latter’s Turing architecture. It seems the newer budget model outmatches the older flagship in most specs. The primary advantage the RTX 2080 Ti retains is in RAM capacity and that does have an impact. Even the more expensive RTX 3080 comes with just 10-gigabytes of RAM, though the much faster performance should be able to make better use of that RAM and outperform the older model in every task. For most gamers the RTX 3070 can match or beat the 2080 Ti and it takes advantage of the latest tech that newer games will be built for.

One of the biggest deterrents to ordering this amazing bargain is the availability. The GeForce RTX 3070 comes sometime in October, while the 3080 and 3090 can be ordered in September. For those building a powerful gaming system right now, the several week wait to save $200 may not seem worth it. When upgrading, or if the $499 price already feels like a stretch, a few weeks will pass quickly enough. Knowing that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 is comparable to the 2080 Ti, means it will be an upgrade for most, and at a bargain price.
