In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB.
The RTX 3070 Ti has a 14 MHz higher core clock speed and 68 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2070. This results in the RTX 3070 Ti providing 98.9 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RTX 3070 Ti has a 14 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2070 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RTX 3070 Ti providing 0.89999999999999 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RTX 3070 Ti was released over a year more recently than the RTX 2070, and so the RTX 3070 Ti is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the RTX 2070.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The RTX 3070 Ti has 8192 MB more video memory than the RTX 2070, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the RTX 2070 has superior memory performance.
The RTX 2070 has 448 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RTX 3070 Ti, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 2070 is massively better than the RTX 3070 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti has 3072 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB has 2304. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 3070 Ti is 5751 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 2070 is 4216. The RTX 3070 Ti having 1535 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the RTX 2070 performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The RTX 3070 Ti transistor size technology is 5 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RTX 2070. This means that the RTX 3070 Ti is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RTX 2070.
The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti requires 250 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2070 MSI Gaming Z 8GB requires 225 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the RTX 3070 Ti and a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2070. The RTX 3070 Ti requires 25 Watts more than the RTX 2070 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the RTX 3070 Ti to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the RTX 2070.
