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 3080 Ti currently lists from $8,948 SEK, $2,234 SEK less than the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER at $11,182 SEK. Despite being slower, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti offers the better performance-per-dollar (~13% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti still sits about $7,749 SEK above its $1,199 SEK MSRP. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER still sits about $10,583 SEK above its $599 SEK MSRP.
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?
Choose the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
