GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3080 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is noticeably faster, around 10% ahead of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is better matched to 1440p.

Price & Value

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER currently lists from $649 EUR, $317 EUR less than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti at $966 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 64%. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is trading below its $1,199 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

At 220W against 350W, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Ada Lovelace architecture on a TSMC N4 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Memory & Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti's memory is faster — 912 GB/s versus 504 GB/s (384-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is roughly 3 years newer than the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (Ada Lovelace vs Ampere), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 3080 Ti or GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 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 3080 Ti if you find it at a steep discount.
