NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs NVIDIA T1000 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a stark contrast between these two NVIDIA cards, with the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti dominating both shared benchmark tests. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the RTX 3070 Ti scored 119718 against the T1000's 37704, a delta of -68.5% from the perspective of the T1000. This means the RTX 3070 Ti is roughly 3.2 times faster in this compute-oriented workload.

The Vulkan results tell a similar story, though with an even wider margin. The RTX 3070 Ti posted 139541 in Geekbench Vulkan, while the T1000 managed 34874, representing a -75% delta for the T1000. That translates to the RTX 3070 Ti delivering approximately 4 times the performance in this API. Across the two head-to-head tests, the RTX 3070 Ti wins both, giving it a clean 2-0 record with zero wins for the T1000.

What is notable here is not just that the RTX 3070 Ti wins, but the sheer scale of the victory. A 75% deficit in Vulkan suggests the T1000 is not merely slower, it is in a different performance class entirely. The T1000's average benchmark score across all recorded tests sits at 36289, while the RTX 3070 Ti averages 29945. This is an unusual inversion: the RTX 3070 Ti has a lower overall average despite winning the shared tests, which indicates the two cards were evaluated across different benchmark suites and the RTX 3070 Ti faced more demanding tests that pulled its average down.

Looking at the percentile rankings, the T1000 sits at the 80th percentile among all GPUs, while the RTX 3070 Ti sits at the 75th percentile. This suggests the T1000, despite its lower raw performance in the shared tests, holds its own better against the broader GPU landscape in the specific benchmarks where it was measured. The RTX 3070 Ti's additional benchmark results, including Passmark tests and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, show a wide range of scores: 155 in DirectX 10, 192 in DirectX 11, 91 in DirectX 12, 261 in DirectX 9, 1055 in G2D, 23356 in G3D, and 11601 in GPU Compute. These varied results reflect a card that excels in some areas while being more moderate in others.

Where Each One Wins

The data paints a clear picture of two different use cases. The RTX 3070 Ti is the unambiguous winner in raw compute and graphics API performance as measured by Geekbench. Its OpenCL score of 119718 compared to the T1000's 37704 indicates the RTX 3070 Ti is built for heavy parallel workloads, whether those are gaming, rendering, or general compute tasks. The Vulkan advantage, 139541 versus 34874, reinforces this: Vulkan is a low-overhead API used in modern games and professional applications, and the RTX 3070 Ti's dominance here suggests it will handle demanding real-time graphics far better.

The T1000, by contrast, has no recorded wins in the shared tests. Its strength lies elsewhere, specifically in its efficiency and form factor. With a TDP of 50 W compared to 290 W for the RTX 3070 Ti, the T1000 draws dramatically less power. It is a single-slot card with no power connectors, while the RTX 3070 Ti requires a dual-slot design and a 12-pin connector. The T1000 also demands a suggested PSU of 250 W versus 600 W for the RTX 3070 Ti. This makes the T1000 a candidate for compact workstations or systems where power delivery and space are constrained.

The T1000's percentile ranking of 80 versus the RTX 3070 Ti's 75 is worth examining. Despite losing both head-to-head tests, the T1000 ranks higher among all GPUs. This could reflect that the T1000's benchmark scores, while lower in absolute terms, are more competitive within its own performance tier. The T1000's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 5300M (delta -0.7%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X (delta -0.7%), the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (delta 1.2%), and the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 (delta 2.2%). These are all within a few percentage points, showing the T1000 sits in a tight cluster of similar-performing cards.

The RTX 3070 Ti's nearest rivals are a different group: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (delta 0.1%), the AMD Radeon RX 6800 (delta -0.5%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (delta 0.5%), and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 (delta -1.6%). These deltas are all small, indicating the RTX 3070 Ti is well-positioned among high-end cards from its generation and the generation that followed.

The Verdict

The data indicates that these two GPUs serve completely different purposes. If the priority is raw performance, the RTX 3070 Ti is the only choice. It is 68.5% ahead in OpenCL and 75% ahead in Vulkan, and it carries hardware features the T1000 lacks entirely, including 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores. The RTX 3070 Ti also has more memory, 8 GB of GDDR6X versus 4 GB of GDDR6, and a wider 256-bit bus versus 128-bit, giving it 608.3 GB/s of bandwidth compared to 160.0 GB/s.

The T1000, however, is the card for constrained environments. Its 50 W TDP, single-slot design, and lack of power connectors make it suitable for systems where the RTX 3070 Ti's 290 W TDP and dual-slot footprint would be prohibitive. The T1000 also uses PCIe 3.0 x16, while the RTX 3070 Ti uses PCIe 4.0 x16, which means the T1000 can slot into older systems without issue. The T1000 was released on 2021-05-05, and the RTX 3070 Ti on 2021-05-30, so they are near-contemporaries, but the T1000's successor is Workstation Ampere, while the RTX 3070 Ti's successor is GeForce 40.

The launch MSRP of the RTX 3070 Ti was 599 USD. The T1000 has no recorded launch MSRP in the database. The RTX 3070 Ti's passmark results show a G3D score of 23356, which is substantial, but its DirectX 12 score of 91 is notably lower than its DirectX 11 score of 192, suggesting the card may have driver or workload-specific quirks. The T1000 has no Passmark results recorded, so no comparison is possible there.

Architecture Differences

The two cards are built on fundamentally different architectures. The T1000 uses the Turing architecture with the TU117 chip, manufactured on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It has 4,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 23.5M per mm². The RTX 3070 Ti uses the Ampere architecture with the GA104 chip, manufactured on an 8 nm process at Samsung. It packs 17,400 million transistors on a 392 mm² die, yielding a density of 44.4M per mm².

The RTX 3070 Ti includes 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores, which are absent from the T1000 entirely. These enable hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI-based features like DLSS. The T1000 has no such dedicated hardware. The RTX 3070 Ti also has far more shader resources: 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, versus the T1000's 896 shading units, 56 TMUs, and 32 ROPs.

The memory architectures differ as well. The T1000 uses GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus, while the RTX 3070 Ti uses GDDR6X with a 256-bit bus. The RTX 3070 Ti's FP32 throughput is 21.75 TFLOPS, compared to 2.500 TFLOPS for the T1000. FP16 performance is also dramatically different: the RTX 3070 Ti achieves 21.75 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, while the T1000 reaches 5.000 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The RTX 3070 Ti supports PCIe 4.0 x16, while the T1000 is limited to PCIe 3.0 x16.

The T1000 is shorter and less tall, making it a better fit for low-profile or space-restricted chassis. The RTX 3070 Ti is longer and taller, requiring more physical room and a more robust power delivery system.
