NVIDIA has launched the new RTX 3080 Ti & 3070 Ti GPU which is now available in the market.

You’re probably looking for a new graphics card for 3D rendering or the newest titles. The biggest question persists: How do we find the ideal graphics card for your needs?

New Rivals: RTX 3080 Ti & 3070 Ti

RTX 3080 Ti & RTX 3070 Ti are the new members of the NVIDIA RTX 30 family. The performance of RTX 3080 Ti puts it behind RTX 3080 but ahead of RTX 3070.

The RTX 3080 Ti targets hardware enthusiasts or hard-core gamers who are addicted to the best graphic performance.

The RTX 3070 Ti is built for gamers who want some extra performance out of RTX 3070 without breaking the bank.

Different GPU For Different Purposes

There are two RTX 30 series models available now: the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080, which both belong to the high-end segment of the market. 

The RTX 3090 is the more powerful of the two based on the naming, however, these two GPUs were built for different purposes. 

Compared to the RTX 3080, the RTX 3090 possesses ~20% more CUDA cores (8704 vs 10496), significantly more VRAM (24GB vs 10GB) and it’s perfect for content creators, as programmers and designers can take more advantage of these features.  

Content creators do not expect or need high framerates or picture quality but more CUDA cores with raw power for something such as building mathematical models, machine learning or neural networking, and the vast 24GB of VRAM for pre-depositing more graphic textures which will help to accelerate 3D rendering. 

As for the RTX 3080, it’s made for gaming from the ground up and that explains why all the game benchmarks shown by NVIDIA CEO Jensen on RTX 30 reveal event focused on the RTX 3080. To simplify things, the RTX 3090 was built for professionals and content creators while the 3080 is intended for gamers.
