Performance Analysis
The ratio of dense FP16 to FP32 equals 2.0 on the RTX 3070 because its dense FP16 figure reaches 40.6 TFLOPS against its FP32 figure of 20.3 TFLOPS. The same ratio equals 2.0 on the RTX 3090 because its dense FP16 figure reaches 71 TFLOPS against its FP32 figure of 35.6 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth of 936 GB/s on the RTX 3090 exceeds the 448 GB/s figure on the RTX 3070 by a factor of 2.1 and therefore supports larger batch sizes during training or inference when data movement limits throughput. Dense FP16 performance of 71 TFLOPS on the RTX 3090 exceeds the 40.6 TFLOPS figure on the RTX 3070 by a factor of 1.75 while the corresponding sparse FP16 figures of 142 TFLOPS and 81.3 TFLOPS maintain the same ratio.

When to Choose the RTX 3070
The RTX 3070 suits workloads that remain within 8 GB of memory and that prioritize lower power draw of 220W over peak throughput. Its dense INT8 performance of 162.6 TOPS and sparse INT8 performance of 325.2 TOPS deliver adequate capacity for inference tasks where the 24 GB capacity of the RTX 3090 remains unnecessary.
When to Choose the RTX 3090
Its dense FP16 performance of 71 TFLOPS and sparse FP16 performance of 142 TFLOPS provide higher throughput than the corresponding 40.6 TFLOPS and 81.3 TFLOPS figures on the RTX 3070 for training and inference jobs that fit the larger memory footprint.
Use Cases
The RTX 3090 supplies 24 GB memory and dense FP16 performance of 71 TFLOPS which exceed the 8 GB and 40.6 TFLOPS figures on the RTX 3070.
The RTX 3090 supplies 936 GB/s bandwidth and 24 GB memory which exceed the 448 GB/s and 8 GB figures on the RTX 3070 for larger batch sizes.

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the RTX 3070 and the RTX 3090. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
- Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
- The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
