GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is dramatically faster, around 43% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is better matched to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti packs 6,144 CUDA cores versus 3,072 on the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER.

Price & Value

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti currently lists from $443 EUR, $95 EUR less than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER at $538 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 73%. The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is trading below its $599 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is trading below its $699 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the gentler choice at 250W versus 290W. The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 290W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern Ampere architecture on a Samsung 8nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Memory & Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti's memory is faster — 608 GB/s versus 496 GB/s — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (Ampere vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER or GeForce RTX 3070 Ti?

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 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 2080 SUPER if you find it at a steep discount.
