What does this comparison mean?
Moving from RTX 3070 8GB to RTX 4070 Ti 12GB increases the recorded result from 212 to 381 FPS and graphics memory from 8GB to 12GB. The uplift is 79.7% in this workload with 4GB more capacity; the benchmark cannot tell us how much of the difference comes from memory rather than the rest of the GPU.
RTX 3070 8GB has 8GB and RTX 4070 Ti 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 3070 8GB
The RTX 3070 is an 8GB GDDR6 Ampere model. NVIDIA set its retail availability for October 2020.
RTX 4070 Ti 12GB
The RTX 4070 Ti arrived in January 2023 as a 12GB Ada Lovelace card. It is separate from the later 16GB RTX 4070 Ti Super, so dropping the Super suffix changes both the model and memory capacity being compared.

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.
