In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile.
The RTX 3060 Ti has a 270 MHz higher core clock speed but 8 fewer Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2070. The lower TMU count doesn't matter, though, as altogether the RTX 3060 Ti manages to provide 31.9 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 3060 Ti has a 270 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Render Output Units than the RTX 2070. This results in the RTX 3060 Ti providing 39.8 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 3060 Ti was released less than a year after the RTX 2070, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
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 2070 Super Mobile and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 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 2070 Super Mobile and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti are the same, which means the RTX 2070 and the RTX 3060 Ti have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile has 2560 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has 4864. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 2070 is 3533 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 3060 Ti is 8099. The RTX 3060 Ti having 4566 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the RTX 3060 Ti delivers a massively 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 2070 Super Mobile requires 115 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti requires 200 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RTX 3060 Ti, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the RTX 2070. The RTX 3060 Ti requires 85 Watts more than the RTX 2070 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 3060 Ti may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2070.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobile card is a high-end RTX 20 Series graphics card for laptops and considered an enthusiast graphics card based on the Turing GPU architecture. Architecture It equips a Turing GPU Codenamed TU104 which is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 40 SM activated, offering 2560 Shader Processing Units, 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. It also has 320 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU The TU106 GPU used in the GeForce RTX 2070 Super Mobility is clocked lower than the desktop variant, leading to a slight reduction in game performance. The standard model has a base clock speed of 1605 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1770 MHz. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1750MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 80-115W the RTX 2070 Super Mobile is fairly power hungry and will significantly reduce laptop battery life at full load. System Suggestions GeForce GRTX 2070 Super Mobile is capable of resolutions all the way up to 4K (3840x2160) but is best suited for 1440p displays. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a High-End Graphics Card based on the Ampere Architecture. This is the 'Ti' variant of the RTX 3060 and utilises a cut-down version of the RTX 3070 GPU. Architecture It equips a cut-down Ampere GPU Codenamed GA104-200 which is a 2nd-Gen Ampere GPU and has 38 SM activated, offering 4864 CUDA Shader Processing Units, 152 TMUs and 80 ROPs. The Ampere architecture provides the world's next consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. It is equipped with 152 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU The central unit runs at 1410 MHz and goes up to 1665 MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of Second Gen GDDR6 through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory Clock Operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. Total memory bandwidth is 448GB/s. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 200W, it requires at least a 600W PSU with one available 12-pin connector. Performance Performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti puts it between the RTX 2080 Super and GeForce RTX 3070 making it a suitable graphics card for 4K gaming yet ideal for 1440p. System Suggestions GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | |||
