Similar GPU Comparisons

Select from the most popular similar graphics card comparisons. Most compared graphics card combinations, including the currently selected ones, are at the top.

When comparing GeForce RTX 2080 Super and GeForce RTX 3070, we look primarily at benchmarks and game tests. But it is not only about the numbers. Often you can find third-party models with higher clock speeds, better cooling, or a customizable RGB lighting. Not all of them will have all the features you need. Another thing to consider is the port selection. Most graphics cards have at least one DisplayPort and HDMI interface, but some monitors require DVI. Before you buy, check the TDP of the graphics card - this characteristic will help you estimate the consumption of the graphics card. You may even have to upgrade your PSU to meet its requirements. An important factor when choosing between GeForce RTX 2080 Super and GeForce RTX 3070 is the price. Does the additional cost justify the performance hit? Our comparison should help you make the right decision.

Which is better RTX 2080 or RTX 3060?

On paper, the RTX 2080 Super and the RTX 3060 Ti seem to be at par. While the former has higher clock speeds, more Ray Tracing and Tensor Cores, and a better Texture Rate, the latter makes up for it with more CUDA Cores, a newer architecture, and an improved pixel rate.

Is RTX 3070 faster than 2080ti?

For now, the RTX 3070 provides a better value for your money, even though frame rates for most games come in a little shy of what the RTX 2080-Ti is capable of. Performance across most games is extremely similar and the RTX 3070 will serve you longer than the older RTX 2080-Ti.

Is RTX 2080 Super better than 3070?

The RTX 3070 actually outperforms the RTX 2080 Super on gaming benchmarks and is the best overall thanks to its newer GPU architecture, higher shader core count, and faster clock speeds.

Which is better RTX 2080 or RTX 3080?

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is the direct successor to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080. It has kept the same starting price of $700 but offers better performance at 4K, and with ray tracing. The upgrade from RTX 2080 to RTX 3080 is recommended, especially since it makes a clearer jump to the next generation of gaming.
