Performance Analysis
Compute performance differs markedly: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER reaches 29.1 TFLOPS in FP16 and FP32, 2.88 times the 10.1 TFLOPS of RTX 2080. This boosts AI training speeds in mixed-precision FP16 workflows and FP32 inference or simulations, reducing epoch times proportionally.
Memory specs present a mixed picture. RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 12 GB VRAM supports larger models or batch sizes than the 8 to 11 GB on RTX 2080, aiding memory-constrained tasks like LLM fine-tuning. However, RTX 2080's superior 616 GB/s bandwidth over 504 GB/s enables higher throughput in bandwidth-bound operations such as large convolutions.
Efficiency favors the newer GPU: at 200 W TDP versus 215 W, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER achieves 0.145 TFLOPS per watt compared to 0.047 TFLOPS per watt on RTX 2080. Ada Lovelace optimizations further enhance real-world ML throughput.
