GeForce RTX 3090 vs GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 3090 vs GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER

The GeForce RTX 3090 is dramatically faster, around 117% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 3090 is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is better matched to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 3090 packs 10,496 CUDA cores versus 2,560 on the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER starts at $1,532 EUR against $1,790 EUR for the GeForce RTX 3090. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 3090 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 85%. The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER still sits about $1,033 EUR above its $499 EUR MSRP. The GeForce RTX 3090 still sits about $291 EUR above its $1,499 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER pulls less power (215W vs 350W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 3090 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Ampere architecture on a Samsung 8nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 24GB against 8GB, the GeForce RTX 3090 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER's 8GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 3090's memory is also faster — 936 GB/s versus 448 GB/s (384-bit vs 256-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER or GeForce RTX 3090?

The GeForce RTX 3090 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 2070 SUPER if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 3090 better than the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 3090 is dramatically faster, roughly 117% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER or the GeForce RTX 3090?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1440p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the GeForce RTX 3090 worth the extra $258 EUR over the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER?

Often yes — despite the higher price the GeForce RTX 3090 delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the GeForce RTX 3090 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 24GB (vs 8GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
