RTX 4070 VS RTX 3080, Who does it better? which one is worth your money?

are you ready for the closest GPU battle so far this generation with both of these kicking out almost 500 FPS in Rainbow Six Siege the big problem is only one of them comes close to hitting 60 FPS in cyberpunk today I'm paying two of the most powerful mid-tier contenders against each other in a showdown that's sure to leave you at the edge of your seat in one corner we have the RTX 4070 this is the latest and greatest from Nvidia at least on the mid-tier front and the other Corner we have the RTX 3080 a fan favorite that Gamers and content creators alike have grown to love the question is when you pit them against each other in the benchmarks who will come out on top who will be worth the compromises and for sure as hell who's gonna be worth the cost and if you were thinking about buying either of these gpus later in the video I have a curveball for you that's probably going to screw that up this video is brought to you by SCD key are you tired of overpaying for Windows well

look at the RTX 4070 this again is the latest and greatest offering from Team Green now Nvidia expected this to be a game changer for gamers and content creators alike now don't get me wrong the RTX 4070 is a solid card the problem is the price is pretty damn mushy next up we have the RTX 3080 and yes as a generation old it's been around for a while but it's proven to be a popular choice amongst Gamers and content creators and that's because it offers great performance and is definitely known to handle even the most demanding of games it also doesn't hurt that the used Market is currently making these more and more affordable every single day at least for now now it's important to note the RTX 3080 is a generation old again but it's never intended to be a mid-tier card the problem is due to shortages the price Skyrocket the price fall it has now become unfortunately right now the closest competitor for a mid-tier card against the 4070s since Nvidia is not releasing anything in that price bracket other than this and AMD is apparently lost and not found yet the almighty question is how do they actually stack up against each other at least on paper I'll put the specs on the screen for you guys but it's important to note a couple things one yes the 3080 does have more Cuda cores but they are one generation old vram again the 3080 appears to lose with 10 gigabytes and the 4070 having 12. they are both gddr6 again clock speed looks at the 3080s slacking but it is important to note the 30 series was pretty well known to easily clock past two gigahertz on its own without any manual overclocking where the 3000 Series 3080 comes back to play is it does have more RT cores and tensor cores yes their generation older but there's a little bit of muscle behind all those cores the 4070 does swing back by being more efficient in kind of helping that cost factor a little bit by being a 200 watt card where the RTX 3080 was a 320 watt card per Nvidia spec I've taken both these gpus and put them on my average Gamers test bench ran a series of tests and now we're gonna see how they stack up against each other Head to Head now some of these results May not surprise you but what will surprise you is coming up after the benchmarks so stick around if you want to see that [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] before we carry on do me a favor guys please consider subscribing and at least hit that like button if you find this helpful it does help out the channel as you can see from the benchmarks both these gpus perform very very well they're both solid choices and a 1080P and 1440p they're pretty much equal they're neck and neck now the 3080 does take the lead in 4k with roughly about 10 more performance that's likely due to the fact that it has a lot more Cuda cores even though they're one generation old where this starts to get interesting is when you start looking at Ray tracing now yes I do a lot of testing and Ray tracing I'm not gonna give you a bunch of graphs because I don't want to keep you guys here forever so I'm going to summarize it as best as possible now for Ray tracing they pretty much traded blows in all the tests like literally they were at the maximum Gap that I measured 10 FPS apart most of them were two to five where that again comes into play is the fact that this has more RT cores but this keeps up because it has newer RT cores now whether you love it or hate it dlss does play a huge role in this and especially DLS that's three with frame gen if you turn on frame gen this basically gets turned into a 30 90 competitor and yes 30 90 not 3080. it even kisses the heels of a 4080 at times Penning the 4080 is not also using dlss this is by far something the 3080 cannot do even with dlss2 in performance mode now I ran all my tests at balanced just to be clear when deciding between these two cards performance isn't the only thing you need to think about you do need to take consideration for Price availability compatibility for whatever software or games you intend to play so the question is which one's gonna be right for you now if you're okay with use Market the 3080 starts to really look good pending availability holds up at today's price now if you want to buy new whether it's because you want a warranty or the latest features the 4070 option does start to carry a lot more weight to it so here's that curveball I was telling you about if you don't give two squats about Ray tracing you just want FPS don't buy either of them buy a Radeon 6900 or 6950 XT you can get those on NewEgg Amazon Microcenter a whole variety of other places for 650 dollars now that's competitive pricing but that will murder both of these cards in normal rasterization remember that card or the 6900 and 6950 were designed to compete with the 30 90s not these two oh and that is before you turn on FSR if there's still more that you guys really want to know about the RTX 4070 do me
