GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which uses a 4 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core speed at 2310 MHz. The GDDR6X memory works at a speed of 1313 MHz on this specific model. It features 7680 SPUs as well as 240 TAUs and 80 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		285 Watts
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		290 Watts
	Difference: 5 Watts (2%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be 21% quicker than the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		622899 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		516096 MB/sec
	Difference: 106803 (21%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 83%) better at AF than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		554400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 252000 (83%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be quite a bit (approximately 22%) more effective at FSAA than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions better. (explain)

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti		184800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 33600 (22%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
