NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 Ti vs NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5080
Where they actually differ
The most decisive specs, ranked by how much they matter — before the full spec table.
| Spec | NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 Ti | NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5080 |
|---|---|---|
| TDP | 300 W | 360 W |
| CUDA / Stream cores | 8960 | 10752 |
| Ray tracing cores | 70 | 84 |
| 3DMark Time Spy | 20100 | 23800 |
| Boost clock | 2452 MHz | 2617 MHz |
Between the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and GeForce RTX 5080, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti comes out ahead in tdp, while the GeForce RTX 5080 wins on cuda / stream cores / ray tracing cores. Overall, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti scores 68.1 and the GeForce RTX 5080 scores 71.4 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The GeForce RTX 5080 edges ahead on the Mars Score (68.1 vs 71.4), but the 3.3-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti if you care most about tdp. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp. The single most decisive one: TDP — 60.00 W less. 300 vs 360.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5080 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are cuda / stream cores, ray tracing cores, 3dmark time spy, among others. The single most decisive one: CUDA / Stream cores — 20.00% more. 10752 vs 8960.
Both ship with comparable vram, memory bus, dlss, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity says both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
Which should you buy: NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5080?
NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5080 leads the current Mars Score by 3.3 points.The more useful decision is the trade-off behind that result: compare cuda / stream cores, boost clock, tdp against the way you will actually use the product.
