The Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti is going to be one of the higher-performing cards from the new RTX 5000 series, leaving many gamers to wonder how it stacks up against previous generation cards like the RTX 4080. Earlier, Nvidia had claimed that the RTX 5070 Ti boasts twice as much performance as that of the 4070 Ti, so it will be interesting to see how it performs when compared to the 4080.
In this article, we'll look into the specifications and performance statistics of the two cards and discuss which one would be the better pick in 2025.
Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti vs RTX 4080: What are their specifications?
The Nvidia RTX 4080 holds up surprisingly well for a graphics card that's a little over two years old. It's backed by proven performance when it comes to 4K gaming and is quite popular among creators and designers.

On the other hand, the RTX 5070 Ti is more compact and has more computational power, featuring a smaller process size and the new Blackwell architecture. It's got greater bandwidth and a newer generation of GDDR memory, allowing for better performance.
Both GPUs have incredible computational power, with the 4080 slightly outperforming the latter in terms of shaders, TMUs, Tensor cores, and so on. However, this is by a very small margin, and considering the additional features of the RTX 5070 Ti, the 5000 series GPU seems a better choice. Moreover, the 5070 Ti is also more power-efficient, having a 300-watt TDP.

Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti vs RTX 4080: Performance comparison
Comparing the gaming performance of the RTX 5070 Ti and the RTX 4080 is a little tricky as of now since the former hasn't been released yet. However, judging by the specs and the performance figures provided by Nvidia during CES 2025, it could offer twice the performance of the RTX 4070 Ti in games optimized for the 5000 series' features, which would hold up quite well against the 4080.
The 5070 Ti features fourth-gen Ray Tracing cores, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and Nvidia Reflex 2, all of which stand to help increase the performance and processing speed of the GPU.
However, the RTX 4080 is also a beast when it comes to gaming. Both cards can comfortably run modern AAA titles at 4K at some of their best graphics settings. We have yet to see an apples-to-apples comparison in terms of frame rates, but the 5070 Ti should be the better performer here.
Final thoughts on Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti vs RTX 4080
The cards are extremely close when it comes to their on-paper specs. However, if we were to choose one among the two, we would definitely go with the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti as it's the better performer overall. Despite having slightly lower specs, it should be much more efficient with its AI features and far better for gaming with the DLSS 4.0 support.
Thus, the RTX 5070 Ti looks to be the better choice once it's released, as it looks to be a much more cost-effective option, whether you're building a PC for gaming, creative work, or web development.
