Differences in Specification 

When looking at the specifications of both GPUs, we can say that they’re very similar with regard to memory. They are, however, built on different architectures, and have different core clock speeds.  

While the older 12nm Turing architecture was used in the making of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is built on the faster 8nm Ampere architecture. The RTX 2070 being a larger chip at 545 mm², is able to fit in 13,600 million transistors but is still surpassed by RTX 3060 Ti’s 17,400 million transistors based on a 392 mm² chip.   

Both the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super are marketed with 8 GB worth of GDDR6 VRAM. Alongside that, the memory bus is 256-bit which is identical for both graphics cards.  

While the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has a base and boost clock of 1410 MHz and 1665 MHz respectively, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super is running on 1605 MHz for the base clock, and 1770 MHz, for the boost core clock speeds. 

Comparing the shading units, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super has 2560 shaders, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, along with 320 tensor cores as opposed to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which has 4864 shaders, 152 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, as well as 152 tensor cores.  

Lastly, the TDP is rated 200 W and 215 W for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super respectively. That should have covered most of the differences and similarities in the specifications of both GPUs. With that said, let’s get into the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super comparison.

Ti vs Super: What’s the difference? 

Essentially, NVIDIA’s Ti and Super labels are both improved versions of a standard graphics card that have better performance and higher core clock speeds than the original.     

Ti in NVIDIA graphics cards stands for Titanium and is the most powerful variant of the original graphics card. The performance increase could be anywhere from 30%-40% compared to the original. This makes them come at a higher price so it’s important to check how much performance increase you’re getting compared to the money being spent when buying the original or Ti version.

Super is basically the version that’s between the standard and Ti version. This means the performance difference is between 20%-30% compared to the standard graphics card. The same advice applies here when choosing between the Super, Ti, and standard versions. Out of the three, the Ti version will be the most powerful and also cost more than the others.

Final Thoughts – Which One To Get?

To wrap up this NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super comparison, let’s review what we know about both GPUs. We already know that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the better card with regards to the generation and architecture that it’s built on. Although, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super have the same memory specifications with both cards having 8GB GDDR6 VRAM running on the 256-bit memory bus.

From the 1080p benchmarks, we can see the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti beat the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super by a 9% FPS difference. Similar results were obtained from the 1440p and 4K benchmarks. The games were all tested on the highest settings that the engines could provide. Nevertheless, both GPUs offer solid performance for high-end gaming. 

So in the end, there’s not really a huge amount of difference in performance when it comes to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super. Both graphics cards have near identical performance but the NVIDIA GeForce 3060 Ti is just a little bit better.

It’s really not worth upgrading from the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super to the NVIDIA GeForce 3060 Ti to get a 9% FPS boost which is essentially just a couple of frames. When it comes to choosing which one to buy, just buy whichever one you can find cheaper unless you really want those few extra frames.
