The RTX 4070 has been compared to the RTX 3080 in many reviews, but not the 3080 12GB, which launched a bit later, and was honestly a much more interesting GPU if you could find it at a similar price to the 10GB model. These GPUs have the same VRAM capacity but the 4070 has half the memory bus, although paired with a much larger L2 cache, more energy efficient process, and new features like frame generation. How does the 4070 stack up against a 3080 12GB? Let's find out.
