Reporters spoke with many reviewers who already have an RTX 3070 on hand, and it looks like the new model will be slightly faster than the 2080 Ti in games while offering similar performance in existing synthetic benchmarks. Many enthusiasts don’t like 3DMark, but this tool is the easiest and fastest way to compare performance between graphics cards.

According to the leak, the GeForce RTX 3070 scores 8749 points in terms of graphics in the Fire Strike Ultra test and 17,115 points in Fire Strike Extreme. In Time Spy Extreme, the card scores 6,907 points and 13,945 in the base Performance preset. In a DX12 ray tracing test called Port Royal, the card scored 8324 points. In general, all indicators, judging by the 3DMark site, are in the region of the average performance ratings for the RTX 2080 Ti (somewhere more, somewhere less).

All tests were carried out on a graphics card with reference clock speeds and a standard TDP of 220 W. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is powered by a GA104 GPU with 5888 CUDA cores. The RTX 3070 has 8GB of GDDR6 memory running over a 256-bit bus (448GB / s bandwidth). On paper, the RTX 3070 has more CUDA cores, ROPs, and RT cores than the RTX 2080 Ti, but also has significantly lower memory bandwidth, which is also smaller. NVIDIA has previously published internal RTX 3070 benchmarks, which VideoCardz employees have compiled in a handy comparison chart:
