GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3090: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3090

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is significantly faster, around 28% ahead of the GeForce RTX 3090. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 3090 is better matched to 1440p.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER starts at $1,390 EUR against $1,790 EUR for the GeForce RTX 3090. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 65%. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER still sits about $591 EUR above its $799 EUR MSRP. The GeForce RTX 3090 still sits about $291 EUR above its $1,499 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER draws just 285W versus 350W for the GeForce RTX 3090, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Ada Lovelace architecture on a TSMC 4N process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 24GB against 16GB, the GeForce RTX 3090 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 16GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 3090's memory is also faster — 936 GB/s versus 672 GB/s (384-bit vs 256-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce RTX 3090 (Ada Lovelace vs Ampere), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 3090 or GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 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 3090 if you find it at a steep discount.
