2080 super vs rtx 3070: GeForce RTX 2080 Super vs GeForce RTX 3070 Graphics cards Comparison

GeForce RTX 2080 Super vs GeForce RTX 3070 Graphics cards Comparison

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.

Performance

1.GPU clock speed

1650MHz

1500MHz

The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.

2.GPU turbo

1815MHz

1725MHz

When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.

3.pixel rate

116. 2 GPixel/s

165.6 GPixel/s

The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

4.floating-point performance

11.15 TFLOPS

20.31 TFLOPS

Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.

5.texture rate

348.5 GTexels/s

317.4 GTexels/s

The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

6.GPU memory speed

1937MHz

1750MHz

The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.

7.shading units

Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.

8.texture mapping units (TMUs)

TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.

9.render output units (ROPs)

The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.

Memory

1.effective memory speed

15496MHz

14000MHz

The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.

2.maximum memory bandwidth

495.9GB/s

448GB/s

This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.

3.VRAM

VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.

4.memory bus width

256bit

256bit

A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.

5.version of GDDR memory

Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.

6.Supports ECC memory

How much faster is RTX 3070 than 2080 Super?

Comparing the last generation with the current we compare Nvidia’s RTX 2080 Super vs 3070. Even though it is supposedly a lower-tier card, it has the potential to still be the best graphics card.

The 2080 Super was released in late July of 2019, finishing up the 20 series lineup. Whilst the 3070 came alongside the initial release of the 30 series. Releasing just over a year later in September/October 2020. With the generation of differences and changes in architecture, we see what kind of gains it offers.
