In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB.
The RTX 3060 Ti and the RTX 2070 have the same core clock speed of 1410 MHz, but the RTX 3060 Ti has 8 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2070. As a result, the RTX 3060 Ti exhibits a 11.3 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the RTX 2070. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RTX 3060 Ti and the RTX 2070 have the same core clock speed of 1410 MHz, but the RTX 3060 Ti has 16 more Render Output Units than the RTX 2070. As a result, the RTX 3060 Ti exhibits a 22.6 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the RTX 2070. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RTX 3060 Ti was released over a year more recently than the RTX 2070, and so the RTX 3060 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 GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and the GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and the GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB are the same, which means the RTX 3060 Ti and the RTX 2070 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has 4864 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB has 2304. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 3060 Ti is 8099 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 2070 is 4216. The RTX 3060 Ti having 3883 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 3060 Ti delivers a significantly smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RTX 2070.
The RTX 3060 Ti transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RTX 2070. This means that the RTX 3060 Ti is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RTX 2070.
The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti requires 200 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2070 Galax SG Edition 8GB requires 175 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RTX 3060 Ti and a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the RTX 2070. The RTX 3060 Ti requires 25 Watts more than the RTX 2070 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the RTX 3060 Ti to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the RTX 2070.
