NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs NVIDIA T1000 Comparison

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs NVIDIA T1000

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti outperforms the T1000 by a massive margin in every recorded test, with the RTX 3080 Ti winning both head-to-head benchmarks outright. The average benchmark score for the RTX 3080 Ti sits at 41187, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs in the database, while the T1000 averages 36289 and lands in the 80th percentile. The RTX 3080 Ti's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (0.8% ahead), the NVIDIA Tesla M40 24 GB (1.2% behind), the NVIDIA Tesla M40 (1.7% behind), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (2% ahead). The T1000's nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 5300M (0.7% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X (0.7% behind), the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (1.2% ahead), and the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 (2.2% ahead). These percentile and rival comparisons show that while both cards occupy similar overall percentile ranks, the raw score gap between them is enormous.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded head-to-head results show a complete sweep for the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 3080 Ti scores 170037 against the T1000's 37704, a difference of 351%. In Geekbench Vulkan, the RTX 3080 Ti scores 192697 against the T1000's 34874, a difference of 452.6%. These are not marginal wins; the RTX 3080 Ti delivers over four and a half times the Vulkan performance of the T1000 in this specific test. The OpenCL result shows a roughly three and a half times advantage.

The sheer scale of these deltas means that for any workload captured by these two APIs, the RTX 3080 Ti is in a different performance class entirely. The T1000's best showing in either test is its OpenCL score of 37704, which is still less than a quarter of the RTX 3080 Ti's OpenCL result. In Vulkan, the T1000's 34874 is even further behind. The data records two wins for the RTX 3080 Ti and zero wins for the T1000 in their direct comparisons. No other head-to-head tests exist in the database for this pair, so the available evidence points entirely in one direction.

When interpreting these scores, context from the nearest rivals helps. The RTX 3080 Ti's average score of 41187 is roughly 1.2% below the Tesla M40 24 GB and 1.7% below the Tesla M40, but it is 2% above the GeForce RTX 5070. The T1000's average of 36289 sits about 0.7% below both the AMD Radeon RX 5300M and the GTX TITAN X, while being 1.2% above the Radeon Pro Duo and 2.2% above the Quadro GV100. This places the T1000 in a much lower absolute performance neighborhood, despite its similar percentile rank, because the percentile distribution is broader at that level.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and are built on different manufacturing processes. The RTX 3080 Ti uses the GA102 chip based on Ampere architecture, fabricated by Samsung on an 8 nm process. It contains 28,300 million transistors on a 628 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 45.1 million per mm². The T1000 uses the TU117 chip based on Turing architecture, fabricated by TSMC on a 12 nm process. It contains 4,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 23.5 million per mm². The RTX 3080 Ti has six times the transistor count and more than three times the die area.

The compute resources differ dramatically. The RTX 3080 Ti has 10240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, 112 render output units, 80 ray tracing cores, and 320 tensor cores. The T1000 has 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units, with no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed. The RTX 3080 Ti's FP32 throughput is 34.10 TFLOPS with FP16 at 34.10 TFLOPS on a 1:1 ratio. The T1000's FP32 is 2.500 TFLOPS with FP16 at 5.000 TFLOPS on a 2:1 ratio. The RTX 3080 Ti delivers roughly 13.6 times the FP32 throughput.

Memory configurations are also fundamentally different. The RTX 3080 Ti has 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 384 bit bus, yielding 912.4 GB/s of bandwidth. The T1000 has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128 bit bus, yielding 160.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 3080 Ti's memory bandwidth is about 5.7 times higher. Clock speeds favor the RTX 3080 Ti as well, with a base of 1365 MHz and boost of 1665 MHz against the T1000's base of 1065 MHz and boost of 1395 MHz. The RTX 3080 Ti's memory runs at 1188 MHz with 19 Gbps effective, while the T1000's memory runs at 1250 MHz with 10 Gbps effective.

The Verdict

The data directs a clear choice: the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the superior performer in every measurable way within this database. Its average benchmark score of 41187 versus 36289 for the T1000, combined with its 351% and 452.6% wins in the head-to-head tests, leaves no ambiguity. Users who need maximum compute throughput, high memory bandwidth, or ray tracing and tensor core capabilities should select the RTX 3080 Ti. Its 34.10 TFLOPS FP32 and 912.4 GB/s bandwidth are in a completely different range than the T1000's 2.500 TFLOPS and 160.0 GB/s. The T1000, by contrast, is a low-power, compact option that fits in a single slot with a 50 W TDP and no power connectors, making it suited for environments where space and power draw are the primary constraints. The RTX 3080 Ti demands a 350 W TDP, a dual-slot footprint, a 12-pin power connector, and a 750 W suggested power supply, along with 285 mm of length. Users who prioritize raw performance above all else should choose the RTX 3080 Ti. Users who require a minimal physical footprint and low power draw, and who can tolerate far lower compute and memory performance, should consider the T1000. The percentile ranks are close, but the actual scores are not.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 3080 Ti wins in every performance category that the database measures. It wins in Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan by margins of 351% and 452.6%, respectively. Its average benchmark score is higher, its FP32 and FP16 throughput are far greater, its memory bandwidth is nearly six times higher, and its pixel and texture rates are multiples of the T1000's. It also has ray tracing and tensor cores, which the T1000 lacks entirely. For any workload involving compute-heavy rendering, machine learning inference, or high-resolution texture processing, the RTX 3080 Ti is the only viable choice based on the recorded data.

The T1000 wins in physical and power characteristics. It has a 50 W TDP versus 350 W, a single-slot design versus dual-slot, no power connectors versus a 12-pin, a suggested PSU of 250 W versus 750 W, and a length of 156 mm versus 285 mm. It also supports four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, which may suit multi-display setups in compact enclosures. Its PCIe 3.0 x16 interface is older than the RTX 3080 Ti's PCIe 4.0 x16, but that is not a performance advantage. The T1000's lower power draw and smaller size make it appropriate for systems where heat dissipation and physical space are limiting factors. However, the performance trade-off is severe: the T1000's best benchmark score is less than 10% of the RTX 3080 Ti's average score. Users who need any level of modern gaming, rendering, or compute performance should not choose the T1000 based on these numbers. The RTX 3080 Ti dominates all recorded benchmarks, and the T1000 only offers advantages in power efficiency and form factor, not in any measured performance metric.
