Performance Analysis
Dense FP16 performance on the RTX 3070 exceeds that of the RTX 2070 by the ratio of 40.6 TFLOPS to 29.9 TFLOPS which translates to higher throughput for mixed precision training workloads that rely on dense tensor operations. The RTX 3070 also provides 20.3 TFLOPS FP32 versus 7.5 TFLOPS FP32 allowing faster single precision scientific kernels and larger effective batch sizes when memory bandwidth remains fixed at 448 GB/s for both cards. INT8 dense throughput follows the same pattern with 162.6 TOPS on the RTX 3070 against 119.4 TOPS on the RTX 2070.

When to Choose the RTX 2070
The RTX 2070 suits environments constrained by a 175 W power budget where the 7.5 TFLOPS FP32 rating remains adequate for lighter inference tasks. Its PCIe 3.0 interface matches older server platforms that lack PCIe 4.0 support.
When to Choose the RTX 3070
Its higher dense INT8 rating of 162.6 TOPS supports accelerated quantized inference relative to the 119.4 TOPS of the RTX 2070.
Use Cases
The RTX 3070 supplies 40.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 20.3 TFLOPS FP32 which exceed the 29.9 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 7.5 TFLOPS FP32 of the RTX 2070.
Quantized inference benefits from the 162.6 TOPS dense INT8 rating on the RTX 3070 versus 119.4 TOPS on the RTX 2070.
Mixed precision fine-tuning runs faster with 40.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 on the RTX 3070 compared with 29.9 TFLOPS dense FP16 on the RTX 2070.
Image generation workloads gain from the 20.3 TFLOPS FP32 and 40.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 of the RTX 3070 over the lower ratings of the RTX 2070.
FP32 heavy simulations execute at 20.3 TFLOPS on the RTX 3070 versus 7.5 TFLOPS on the RTX 2070.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FP32 performance difference between RTX 2070 and RTX 3070?▾
The RTX 3070 reaches 20.3 TFLOPS FP32 while the RTX 2070 reaches 7.5 TFLOPS FP32. This difference affects single precision workloads directly.
How does memory bandwidth compare on these two GPUs?▾
Both the RTX 2070 and RTX 3070 provide 448 GB/s memory bandwidth with identical 8 GB GDDR6 capacity. Batch size limits tied to bandwidth remain equivalent.
Which GPU has higher dense FP16 throughput?▾
The RTX 3070 lists 40.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 compared with 29.9 TFLOPS dense FP16 on the RTX 2070. Training and inference steps that use dense FP16 therefore complete faster on the RTX 3070.
What are the TDP values for RTX 2070 and RTX 3070?▾
The RTX 2070 carries a 175 W TDP while the RTX 3070 carries a 220 W TDP. System power and cooling requirements scale accordingly.
Do both cards support the same interconnect?▾
The RTX 2070 uses PCIe 3.0 while the RTX 3070 uses PCIe 4.0. Data transfer rates between host and device differ as a result.
Which is cheaper to rent, the RTX 2070 or the RTX 3070?▾
