5. MSI RTX 3070
If you're in the process of building or upgrading a PC for gaming, you know that your choice of graphics card is one of the main components that will affect your enjoyment of games. Graphics cards also tend to be changed quite rarely, so picking a quality, high-performance one for your rig is critical as you'll be using it for years to come. This MSI RTX 3070 Aventus is an excellent unit for any modern PC; it utilizes highly efficient AI rendering that accelerates frame rates with uncompromised image quality using its dedicated AI processing and Tensor Cores. This gives you the performance headroom you need to crank up settings and resolutions for...]]>

Spec Differences
Starting with the spec differences, both cards have 8 gig of GDDR6 memory at the same speed. The 3070 is rated 20 watts higher but has a higher boost clock speed and 21% more CUDA cores, but has a $100 higher MSRP as a result, though actual prices could differ depending on availability issues that exist near launch.
Test PC Setup
This is the system that I’m using to test out both graphics cards, so an overclocked i9-10900K at 5.2GHz with 32gb of DDR4-3200 CL14 memory in dual channel. We’ll first dig into the gaming results, then check out cost per frame, power draw, and content...]]>

Spec Differences
Let’s start with the spec differences, the 3070 has more CUDA cores, higher base and boost clock speeds, but 3 gigabytes less memory, so it will be interesting to see if that affects games at 4K. The 3070 costs significantly less than the 2080 Ti, half as much if we go by Nvidia’s $1000 USD MSRP, and even more if we work with the $1200 or so that it was actually available for.

Spec Differences
Let’s start with the spec differences, as you can probably guess based purely on the names, the 3080 is better for the most part. The 3080 has more and faster memory, more CUDA cores, uses more power, and costs $200 more, so let’s find out if it’s worth it.

Spec Differences
Let’s start with the spec differences, all three have 8gb of memory, but that’s basically where the similarities end. As you’d expect, the newer cards are specced higher. The 3070 has the same $500 USD MSRP as the 2070 before it, however both were more expensive at launch than the 1070, and not to mention you can pick up a second hand 1070 for under $200 these days.
Test PC Setup
This is the system that I’m using to test all three GPUs in, thanks to Steve at Hardware Unboxed for lending me a 2070. Anyway let’s get right into it by seeing how 11 games compare on these three GPUs.

It looks like as far as NVIDIA's big gaming performance claims go, the RTX 3070 does adjust fine, matching or beating our 2080 Ti Founder's Edition more often than not. At least in games that take advantage of it's beefier RT cores, and tensor cores, which are focused on real-time Ray tracing and deep learning workloads respectively.
There was a time in the past when we might've called NVIDIA's DLSS deep learning upscaling a performance hack and forced their cards to compete with it disabled. But, there's just no other way to put this. It's gotten really good....]]>

Obviously I'm not ready to hand Nvidia their crown until we see the new cards for ourselves. But based on what they've shown, we are in for one heck of a ride. They announced well a lot, and we're going to get to all of it, but the big one is, Ampere is real and Ampere is an absolute monster.
As it turns out, the recent leaks were accurate in many if not most ways. Where Turing based RTX 2000 GPUs were manufactured on TSMC's 12 nanometer FinFET process, which was actually derived from their 16 nanometer process, Nvidia instead partnered with Samsung on a custom eight nanometer process for the RTX 3000 series. And the difference here is much bigger than we got moving from Pascal to Turing.
Here's the thing, for over three years now, G-Force GPUs have had in the neighborho...]]>
