What does this comparison mean?
The RTX 4070 12GB leads the RTX 3060 Ti 8GB and adds 4GB of memory. The comparison uses the original GDDR6 RTX 3060 Ti and original RTX 4070; later memory or Super versions should be checked under their own identities.
RTX 3060 Ti 8GB has 8GB and RTX 4070 12GB has 12GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
RTX 3060 Ti 8GB
The original RTX 3060 Ti is an 8GB GDDR6 Ampere model introduced in December 2020. Its later GDDR6X configuration is a separate variant.
RTX 4070 12GB
The RTX 4070 launched in April 2023 with Ada Lovelace architecture and 12GB of GDDR6X. It is separate from the RTX 4070 Super.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
