Spec for spec, this RTX 3070 Ti leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2070 SUPER, by boasting 45.9 % more fps. In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 3070 Ti blows past the RTX 2070 SUPER and, amazingly, even the RTX 2080 as well.
Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3070 Ti consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2070 SUPER and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 6800, the RTX 3070 Ti was -5.2 % slower.
For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II, The Last of Us Part I, Halo Infinite, Forspoken at 62 fps to 80 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 71 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Space, Halo Infinite, Red Dead Redemption 2 at 62 fps to 72 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 69 fps.
For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Just Cause 4, Anthem, Total War: Warhammer III, Guardians of the Galaxy, Battlefield 2042 at 61 fps to 63 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps.
The RTX 3090 might be the extreme flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most high-end PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3080 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 699. The good news is, with the release of the RTX 3080 Ti, the RTX 3080 's price is getting more discount.
Spec for spec, this RTX 3080 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2080, by boasting 69.4 % more fps. The RTX 3080 has 10 GB RAM compared to the RTX 2080 's 8 GB video memory.
Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3080 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 6800 XT, the RTX 3080 was -1.6 % slower.
