Which is better RTX 2080 or 3070?

The RTX 3070 remains at the top of the list for the best graphics card on the market. We anticipate that it will regularly surpass the 2080 Ti in most settings and overall performance, thanks to new architectures that take advantage of the second and third-generation RT and tensor cores.

Is it worth upgrading for a RTX 2080 Super to a RTX 3070?

Our Verdict: Upgrading from RTX 2080 SUPER to RTX 3070 is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 3070 .

Is the 2080 Super better than 3060?

Looking at the results, the 3060 Ti's performance advantage over the 2080 Super varies between -3% (with the latter performing better) and 23%. But on average, the former has a 6.33% performance advantage despite having less clock speed, retaining the same VRAM, and requiring less power.

What is better than a 2080 super?

The next generation of Nvidia GPUs is almost here, though, with the RTX 3080 set to replace the 2080 and 2080 Super. The 3080 is a more powerful card on paper, and it's the same price as the 2080 Super.
