NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 TiM

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 TiM is a member of the GeForce 30 series built on the Ampere architecture, utilizing the GA104 chip fabricated on Samsung's 8 nm process. The die contains 17,400 million transistors across a 392 mm² area, giving a transistor density of 44.4 million per square millimeter. The card is marked end-of-life, and its database entry records no benchmark scores—the average benchmark score is 0, while the percentile versus all GPUs is 50. This analysis interprets the specified hardware characteristics, given the absence of measured performance data.

Benchmark Performance

The database lists no benchmark entries for the RTX 3070 TiM, and the average benchmark score is 0. Consequently, no direct performance scores or deltas relative to rivals are available. The percentileVsAllGpus field indicates a value of 50, which places the card at the midpoint of the database's GPU performance distribution, but without actual scores this is a nominal ranking rather than a measured result. The hardware specifications provide a basis for estimating compute capability: the card features 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The FP32 compute throughput is rated at 16.60 TFLOPS, with an identical FP16 figure at a 1:1 ratio. Texture fill rate is 259.4 GTexel/s, and pixel fill rate is 135.4 GPixel/s. These figures indicate a substantial compute pipeline, but without comparative scores, it is impossible to quantify how they translate into real-world frame rates. The base clock is 915 MHz and the boost clock is 1410 MHz, which are the operating frequencies that drive these throughput numbers. The absence of rival data means no percentage deltas can be computed; the analysis must rely on the raw specifications alone. The FP16 performance matching FP32 is a notable architectural trait, suggesting that the card does not sacrifice half-precision throughput, which can benefit certain compute workloads.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The RTX 3070 TiM is built on the Ampere architecture, which includes dedicated ray tracing cores and tensor cores. The card has 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores. These are the hardware units responsible for accelerating ray-traced lighting effects and AI-based features such as DLSS. The API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (feature level 12_2), which is the current generation of Microsoft's graphics API, as well as OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. This API set ensures compatibility with modern games and applications that leverage ray tracing and variable rate shading. The display outputs consist of one HDMI 2.1 port and three DisplayPort 1.4a ports, enabling high refresh rate and high resolution output. The tensor cores are also usable for general-purpose AI workloads beyond graphics. The RT core count and tensor core count are specific to this SKU and indicate the level of dedicated hardware for these features. The DirectX 12 Ultimate support means the card is compliant with the latest feature level for ray tracing, mesh shaders, and other advanced rendering techniques. The Vulkan 1.4 and OpenGL 4.6 support provide broad compatibility across different engines and platforms.

Power and Cooling

The card has a thermal design power (TDP) of 220 W. The recommended power supply is 550 W, and the card requires a single 8-pin power connector. The cooling solution is a triple-slot design, which is a large physical footprint. The dimensions are 270 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 55 mm in width. The triple-slot cooler suggests a substantial heatsink and fan assembly to manage the 220 W TDP. The power connector requirement is a single 8-pin, which is a common interface for mid-range to high-end cards. The suggested PSU wattage of 550 W provides a margin for the rest of the system, but the exact power draw of other components is not specified. The card's physical size must be considered for case compatibility, as the triple-slot width and 270 mm length may not fit in all enclosures. The 220 W TDP is a fixed specification, and the recommended 550 W PSU accounts for the card's peak power draw along with typical system loads. The single 8-pin connector simplifies cabling compared to multi-connector designs, but the power delivery is still sufficient for the rated TDP.

How It Compares

The database does not provide any nearest rivals for the RTX 3070 TiM; the nearestRivals array is empty. Therefore, no direct comparison against specific competing GPUs is possible. The card's position in the product line is between the GeForce 20 series (predecessor) and GeForce 40 series (successor) within NVIDIA's lineup. It is part of the GeForce 30 series, which uses the Ampere architecture. Its production status is end-of-life, meaning it is no longer manufactured. Without rival data, we cannot state performance deltas or relative positioning. The percentile rank of 50, while not derived from benchmarks, suggests that the card is intended to be a mid-range performer within the database's overall GPU population. However, this is a placeholder value because no actual benchmark scores are recorded. The lack of comparative data means that any attempt to place this card against competitors would be speculative and outside the scope of the available facts. The card's predecessor and successor are identified by generation, but no specific models or specifications are given for them. As such, the RTX 3070 TiM stands as an isolated entry in the database, with its performance relative to other cards remaining undefined.

Memory Subsystem

The RTX 3070 TiM is equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit memory bus. The memory clock is 1750 MHz, which translates to 14 Gbps effective data rate. The resulting memory bandwidth is 448.0 GB/s. This bandwidth is a product of the bus width and the effective memory speed. For high-resolution gaming and texture-heavy workloads, memory bandwidth is a critical factor. The 8 GB capacity is a fixed specification; the implications for specific resolutions are not detailed in the data. The 256-bit bus is a common width for mid-range to high-end cards, and the 448 GB/s bandwidth is a direct consequence of the memory configuration. The memory subsystem is a key component for performance at high resolutions, but without benchmark data, we cannot assert how it affects frame rates. The combination of 8 GB capacity and 448 GB/s bandwidth provides a baseline for memory-intensive tasks, but the actual impact is unquantified. The effective memory clock of 14 Gbps is derived from the 1750 MHz base memory clock, and the 256-bit bus width directly multiplies the per-pin data rate to yield the total bandwidth. This configuration is typical for cards targeting 1440p and entry-level 4K gaming, though no such claim is made in the data. The memory size and bandwidth are the only metrics available for assessing memory performance.
