Unlike those bigger cards, however, NVIDIA included a special single cable converter for this GPU, instead of the Y split adapter like the others. It’s worth noting that like the bigger GPUs, the RTX 3070 includes the new mini 12-pin power connector.

That’s especially so as the 3070 will definitively beat out the Ti in rendering in most every case, thanks to the ray tracing performance improvements seen with the Ampere architecture. The biggest difference beyond that is that the 3070 loses 3GB of the Ti’s frame buffer, but for a card that costs much less than the Ti, we’re not sure many will complain. Versus the 2080 Ti, the new RTX 3070 draws much less power overall – about 30W less on paper. GTX 1080 Ti = Pascal GTX/RTX 2000 = Turing RTX 3000 = Ampere There’s not too much to talk about here that hasn’t been discussed ad nauseam over the last number of articles, but for those interested, here’s a breakdown of NVIDIA’s current lineup (including 1080 Ti for reference):ġ GDDR6X 2 GDDR6 3 GDDR5X 4 GDDR5 5 HBM2 It’s not often we see that kind of price-drop, but it’s obviously a move that will be welcomed by many, since 2080 Ti performance (or better) is now available for far less money.Īs we’ve done with the 30 launches, we’re going to kick off our coverage with a look at rendering performance here, exclusively in those renderers that revolve their lives around CUDA and OptiX – with the exception of Blender, which is our only test here to include Radeon GPUs.

That even includes the price, which is interesting, because it’s rare when we’re aware of a price more than a month in advance.Īrguably, the RTX 3070 could be considered the most interesting of the three 3000 series cards released so far, because in a single generation, NVIDIA knocked a card like the $1,199 GeForce 2080 Ti down to this $4. The new GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card from NVIDIA doesn’t hold many secrets, largely in part to the fact that the company revealed the specs for its first three Ampere GeForces from the get-go.
