That means the new RTX 3070 is almost 40% faster than the 2070 Super, and 30% faster than the 5700 XT. The RTX 3070 slips a few frames behind the 2080 Ti at 4K, but we're talking a mere 2 fps margin, so let's just call it even. Moving on to F1 2020, again we're looking at 2080 Ti-like performance from the 3070, making it 34% faster than the 2070 Super, or 19% faster than the Radeon 5700 XT. The 3070 also remained strong at 4K, edging out the 2080 Ti by a few frames, making it 21% slower than the 3080 but 47% faster than the 2070 Super. It's not a huge boost over Turing but it does help, as a result the RTX 3070 is 5% faster than the 2080 Ti at 1440p, and 44% faster than the 2070 Super. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege makes heavy use of compute and this hands the Ampere architecture an advantage. The 3070 is at a disadvantage at 4K, here VRAM usage hits up around 7.5 - 8GB, so it's possible we're on the edge of VRAM capacity limitation, or the tiny performance hit could be due to memory bandwidth, either way the 3070 is only a few frames down on the 2080 Ti. That means we're looking at a ~30% performance increase from Nvidia at the $500 price point when compared to the 2070 Super and 55% from the vanilla 2070. Very similar performance to the 2080 Ti at 1440p, this time in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

The performance hit isn't massive but Flight Simulator 2020 will be pushing beyond the 8GB capacity with the ultra quality settings at 4K and as a result the RTX 3070 pays a small performance penalty. The 3070 does drop off a little at 4K, likely due to only having 8GB of VRAM. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 has the RTX 3070 matching exactly the formerly super-high-end 2080 Ti at 1440p. A good overall result for a GPU expected to cost just $500. When compared to the similarly-priced 2070 Super, we see a 30% performance boost and a 24% increase from the 5700 XT.Д®ven at 4K, the RTX 3070 is seen matching the 2080 Ti with 83 fps on average, making it just shy of 30% slower than the 3080. Kicking off the benchmarks with Death Stranding at 1440p we immediately find 2080 Ti-like performance from the new RTX 3070, pumping out 134 fps on average. For testing we're using our Ryzen 9 3950X test system, featuring four sticks of low latency DDR4-3200 memory. This means RTX 3070-based graphics cards will be cool, quiet and easy on your power supply.Д«ut enough about all that, it's time to get into the blue bar graphs. Despite those changes, Nvidia claims that the RTX 3070 is on par with the RTX 2080 Ti (with 3GB less VRAM), but at a $500 MSRP, seriously, who can complain.ДЄ natural advantage of the cut-down design is the much lower TDP rating of 220 watts, that's 100 watts lower than the 3080 and 30 watts lower than the outgoing 2080 Ti.

This allows for a peak bandwidth of 448 GB/s. The memory subsystem has also been downgraded, moving away from 10GB of high speed GDDR6X memory to 8GB of standard 14 Gbps GDDR6 on a narrower 256-bit wide memory bus. The cores are clocked slightly higher, about 4% for the base clock and 1% for the boost clock. The GPU packs 32% fewer CUDA cores and TMUs, with the same 96 ROPs. The GeForce RTX 3070 is based on the GA104 die which is almost 40% smaller than what's used on the 30 (GA102).

Moving on from availability woes, the GeForce RTX 30 series is bound to remain an attractive option for gamers for months and even years to come. Hopefully your chances of buying a new RTX 3070 in two days' time when they hit shelves are much higher. The card's launch was pushed to October 29, allowing Nvidia to build up a larger stockpile for release day. This situation has put more pressure on the more affordable GeForce RTX 3070. Whether this is deliberate action (unlikely), demand miscalculation, or manufacturing issues - as so often happens in the industry - time is running out for Nvidia to hit the holiday season. Unfortunately, very few of you have been able to buy them six weeks after the release of the RTX 3080, and availability is expected to be low for some time to come. The arrival of next-gen Ampere graphics in the form of the GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 had us testing and showing you benchmarks of these incredibly fast new GPUs.
