- Board power 200 220
Which one should you buy?
Choose the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti if
- Lower power draw (200 W)
- Cheaper at launch ($399)
Choose the GeForce RTX 3070 if
- Faster in games by about 19%
How many FPS do the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 get?
Estimated framerates with both parts measured against the same reference processor (a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D), so the graphics card is the only thing changing. Figures are ranges, not exact numbers. Measured at 1440p because at 1080p even a fast processor caps both cards and the columns come back identical.

Which is better value?
At launch pricing, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti delivers more benchmark performance per dollar, by about 15%. Street prices move, so check current cost before deciding: a 15% value gap disappears quickly on discount.
Will the GeForce RTX 3070 bottleneck your build?
These figures hold one component constant. Your own build decides the answer: a faster graphics card buys nothing if the processor is already the limit.
How we compare graphics cards
Benchmark scores come from PassMark, 3DMark, Geekbench and Cinebench. Each of those suites is read from a single source across every part we compare, so a percentage gap here is a difference between the two chips rather than between two testers. Framerates come from our own model, built from measured GPU baselines and processor ceilings, and it declines to produce a number for hardware it does not cover rather than estimating one.
