Performance: GeForce RTX 3080 vs GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
The GeForce RTX 3080 is dramatically faster, around 46% ahead of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 3080 is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is better matched to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 3080 packs 8,704 CUDA cores versus 4,864 on the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. The GeForce RTX 3080 also has more RT cores (68 vs 38) and more AI cores (272 vs 152), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.
Price & Value
The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti currently lists from $4,110 BRL, $765 BRL less than the GeForce RTX 3080 at $4,875 BRL. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 3080 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 23%. The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti still sits about $3,711 BRL above its $399 BRL MSRP. The GeForce RTX 3080 still sits about $4,176 BRL above its $699 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 200W against 320W, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 3080 carries 10GB versus 8GB on the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce RTX 3080's memory is also faster — 760 GB/s versus 448 GB/s (320-bit vs 256-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or GeForce RTX 3080?
The GeForce RTX 3080 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti if you find it at a steep discount.
