Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
The simple math is this: the RTX 3070 Ti costs 20% more than the 3070 and is on average 8% faster. It does nothing to strengthen Nvidia’s position against AMD. There’s no extra VRAM, and gamers get a small performance increase to justify the extra $100 over the RTX 3070.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti delivers some excellent 1440p performance and looks good while doing it. The problem is, though, that every other graphics card can do that right now, meaning there's little reason to pick the RTX 3070 Ti over another GPU.

Nvidia’s new $600 GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is a good graphics card for 4K and especially 1440p gaming, in a time where it's hard to acquire any GPU. If stock becomes plentiful again you have better options however.

The Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti is an excellent graphics card that offers buyers future-proof specs and excellent performance in 1440p and 1080p. If you can get your hands on one, we thoroughly recommend you grab one. However, for 4K gamers that want to enjoy ray tracing graphics, the RTX 3080 family remains the lowest entry point.

In a world where GPUs were actually easy to buy, the 3070 Ti doesn't strike me as a major leap ahead of the 3070. If you're willing to spend $599 on a video card, what's another $100 to reach touch heights of gaming nirvana with the RTX 3080? That card would be even more capable with 4K and 1440p performance, and it's better equipped to crank up ray tracing settings.

With a $599 retail price, I was expecting more from the RTX 3070 Ti. AMD’s RX 6800 is still technically priced lower than the RTX 3070 Ti, and my tests showed it surprisingly outperformed the Nvidia card. On the Nvidia side, you get the addition of DLSS and with that better ray-tracing performance if you couple them together. Nvidia’s NVENC and professional tooling support is also extremely useful if you’re video editing or streaming to Twitch.

Nvidia's new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition is another great Ampere GPU release, but it can struggle to beat the Radeon RX 6800 across the board.

By TweakTown on

As an RTX 3070 replacement that slots in at the same price point, perhaps in a year's time, the 3070 Ti would have been great - a nice performance bump without any downsides apart from increased power draw. As it stands though, we can't recommend the 3070 Ti while the 3060 Ti, 3070 and 3080 all offer considerably better value.

By EuroGamer on

Nvidia’s Ti upgrades usually come in two forms: the marginally better version of the card it shares its name with, or a marginally weaker version of the card one bracket up. Take the 3080 Ti as a perfect example of one; despite its name, it has more in common with and is more like a baby 3090 than a 3080. The 3070 Ti is not that – it is not a baby 3080. It is a slightly improved RTX 3070. It’s good at that job. The question you have to ask is – is it worth an extra $100? You know what you get for it now – you decide.

If Ars' comment sections are any indication, readers had been holding out hope that an eventual "3070 Ti" would mostly copy the original RTX 3070's spec sheet, only with more VRAM. The 3080 Ti kinda-sorta delivered in that respect by jumping from its predecessor's 10GB of VRAM to 12GB. But the 3070 Ti instead insists that its upgrade potential makes more sense with faster VRAM, not more. In some test results, that bears out. But that decision arguably does not pan out in enough results—and certainly not when compared to how much an additional $100 nets you from an RTX 3080.

By Ars Technica on

Maybe I’m just feeling cynical, but my immediate impression is that this card doesn’t offer enough of a performance improvement over the original to make it very compelling at $599. The much faster RTX 3080 is theoretically only $100 more! (But only theoretically.) This 3070 Ti represents a smaller jump than the one we saw going from RTX 2070 to RTX 2070 Super (basically an RTX 2080). Yes, the RTX 3070 Ti does beat the 2080 Ti, but it doesn’t come close to the RTX 3080. No real surprise there – a fully enabled GA104 product is just not going to compete with those GA102 levels, GDDR6X memory bandwidth boost notwithstanding.

By PCPer on

Unless you really want a 3070 and can't get one, which is highly likely, but even then, do not pay a penny over the MSRP. At £529, this GPU is worse value than an RTX 3070 in the games we tested, and the GDDR6X memory upgrade has failed to deliver significant performance gains.
