After seeing how the 3070 Ti holds up today, you should peek at RTX 3090 24GB performance to see what an extra bump can do.
Even today, these benchmarks demonstrate that a well-balanced NVIDIA gaming PC can still deliver solid performance at higher settings.
🎮 Real‑World Gaming Performance
-
At 1440p, the RTX 3070 Ti delivers roughly 8% faster raw performance than the RTX 3070, while trailing the AMD RX 6800 by ~8–9% on average.
-
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider (4K Highest Quality), it achieves ~71 FPS average and ~57 FPS 1% lows, compared to ~64/52 on RTX 3070 and ~88/73 on RX 6800 XT.
-
Across various titles:
-
Cyberpunk 2077 (1440p RT off): ~7% faster than RTX 3070, but ~8% slower than RX 6800.
-
Borderlands 3: ~17% faster than RTX 3070, still ~9% behind RX 6800.
-
🔧 Performance vs RTX 3060 Ti
-
Tech4Gamers testing shows:
-
Days Gone (1440p): RTX 3070 Ti averages 104 FPS, ~21% ahead of RTX 3060 Ti’s 86 FPS.
-
Cyberpunk 2077: 55 FPS vs 41 FPS, a ~34% lead.
-
Horizon Zero Dawn: ~88 vs 67 FPS—~31% higher.
-
-
Overall, RTX 3070 Ti delivers about 13% higher average FPS and ~17% higher 1% lows over the RTX 3060 Ti in 1440p gaming.
🧪 Synthetic Performance & Efficiency
-
In 3DMark Time Spy (DX12), RTX 3070 Ti scores around 14,600, about 8% higher than RTX 3070 (~13,650).
-
It sits behind RX 6800 and RTX 3080 in pure synthetic compute scores due to higher bandwidth and memory architecture differences.
🗣️ Community Feedback & Value Insight
-
Reddit commentary underscores real‑world declines:
“The RTX 3070 Ti is like 5–7% better than base 3070, but draws 100W more power—often not worth the extra.” ([turn0search4])
-
And:
“The 3070 Ti rig runs nicely at 1440p—well over 60 FPS in most Steam games.”
-
Many threads note limited long‑term value vs RTX 4070/Ti—e.g. upgrades that offer 19–20% more performance cost-effectively.
📊 Summary Table
| Scenario | RTX 3070 Ti Performance | Comparison Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1440p raster (avg) | ~88–95 FPS | ~8% faster than RTX 3070, ~8% slower vs RX 6800 |
| 4K raster (Shadow of TR) | ~71 FPS avg / ~57 FPS low | ~9% faster than RTX 3070, below RX 6800 XT |
| Versus RTX 3060 Ti (1440p avg) | ~104 FPS | ~13% faster average |
| RTX 3060 Ti Cyberpunk | ~55 FPS (vs 41 FPS on 3060 Ti) | ~34% lead in frame rate |
| 3DMark Time Spy Score | ~14,600 | ~8% above RTX 3070 |
| Efficiency / Power Draw | ~290W TDP | ~100W more than RTX 3070 |
🧾 Final Verdict
The RTX 3070 Ti offers incremental gains over the standard RTX 3070—typically 5–10% higher FPS in raster and DLSS games. It’s substantially ahead of RTX 3060 Ti (~13% avg, ~30–35% in select titles). However, its power draw is higher, and it only matches or trails RX 6800 in most tests, especially at 4K. With modern 1440p cards like RTX 4070/Ti offering better value and lower power use, the 3070 Ti is now more a transitional option than a long-term flagship pick.
✅ TL;DR
-
✅ Solid 1440p performer with competitive FPS in raster titles
-
🚫 Modest gains over RTX 3070, with higher thermal/power costs
-
🔄 Significant uplift over RTX 3060 Ti in average and minimum FPS
-
🧠 Not competitive with RX 6800 at 4K and RT workloads
-
⚠️ Value now depends heavily on current pricing and availability
