-
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
