Performance Analysis
RTX 3070 Ti delivers over 2.5 times the compute power of T4: 20.3 TFLOPS in FP16 and FP32 versus 8.1 TFLOPS. This advantage accelerates deep learning training, where FP16 precision dominates, and FP32 for general compute, reducing iteration times significantly. Inference benefits similarly from higher throughput on RTX 3070 Ti.
Memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s on RTX 3070 Ti enables larger batch sizes during training and inference than T4's 320 GB/s: this minimizes padding overhead and improves utilization. However, T4's 16 GB VRAM accommodates bigger models without multi-GPU setups, unlike RTX 3070 Ti's 8 GB limit which constrains very large batches.
Power draw impacts density: T4's 70W TDP allows more units per server versus RTX 3070 Ti's 220W, suiting edge or dense inference farms despite lower performance.
