NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile is a GeForce 30-series mobile GPU built on the Ampere architecture with a GA103 chip. Samsung's 8 nm process packs 22,000 million transistors into a 496 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 44.4M / mm². It belongs to the GeForce 30 Mobile generation, and its listed predecessor is GeForce 20 Mobile; the database lists it as end-of-life, with a release date of 2022-01-24. Its average benchmark score is 25740, placing it at the 70th percentile of all GPUs in the database.

Power and Cooling — TDP, PSU recommendation, connector requirements

The power envelope for this mobile part is stated as a 115 W TDP. The power connector field is "None", meaning the database does not list any discrete PCIe power connectors for this GPU. Likewise, no suggested PSU value is provided, so there is no PSU recommendation to report. The physical dimensions of the card are not listed, and slot width is also unspecified; the only power-related figure available for evaluating cooling demand is the 115 W TDP. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16, and display outputs are described as "Portable Device Dependent". Taken together, the data indicate a platform-bound design in which the host mobile system supplies power and cooling rather than a separate add-in card assembly. Because no cooler dimensions or thermal solution details are in the database, the 115 W TDP is the sole quantitative anchor for thermal considerations.

Memory Subsystem — VRAM size/type, bus width, bandwidth and what it means for high resolutions

The RTX 3080 Ti Mobile is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. The memory bus is 256 bit wide, and the memory clock is listed at 2000 MHz, with an effective data rate of 16 Gbps. These values produce a memory bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s. For high-resolution workloads, the 16 GB capacity provides a large data buffer, while the 512.0 GB/s bandwidth determines how quickly data can be supplied to the GPU. The combination of a 256-bit bus and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth gives the memory subsystem a substantial headroom for demanding rendering tasks, and the 16 GB frame buffer is the more significant capacity factor for larger scenes and higher-resolution assets. No other memory-related specifications are listed in the database.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set — RT/tensor cores, API support from facts

The GA103 die contains 7424 shading units, 232 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. Dedicated ray tracing hardware is present in the form of 58 RT cores, and 232 tensor cores are also listed. Pixel throughput is 121.0 GPixel/s, texture throughput is 292.3 GTexel/s, and the FP32 compute figure is 18.71 TFLOPS. FP16 compute is also 18.71 TFLOPS, listed at a 1:1 ratio with FP32. On the API side, the supported feature set includes DirectX 12 Ultimate with the 12_2 feature level, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. This API set covers current 3D and compute workloads and includes the DirectX 12 Ultimate feature level. The 58 RT cores and 232 tensor cores are the hardware elements associated with ray-traced rendering and tensor-based workloads, respectively. These figures are the feature-set data provided in the database; no additional feature flags are supplied.

How It Compares — position vs each nearest rival, one short paragraph per rival

The RTX 3080 Ti Mobile has an average benchmark score of 25740. Its nearest rivals bracket that score very closely, with deltaPct values ranging from -0.6% to +1.4%. Each rival below is compared using the average score and deltaPct from the database.

AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16: This rival posts an average score of 25779. The deltaPct of -0.2 means the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile trails by 0.2%, putting the two products at near-parity on average.

AMD FirePro W7100: The FirePro W7100 averages 25841, with a deltaPct of -0.4. The RTX 3080 Ti Mobile is 0.4% behind this AMD professional product, again a narrow margin.

AMD Radeon R9 370X: The R9 370X averages 25893, with a deltaPct of -0.6. Among the four nearest rivals, this is the largest deficit for the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile, though it remains below one percent.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER: The RTX 2080 SUPER averages 25378, with a deltaPct of +1.4. This is the only nearest rival with a positive delta, meaning the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile leads it by 1.4%.

Benchmark Performance — analyze scores vs rivals with exact % deltas

Across the individual benchmark suite, the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile produces a consistent set of scores. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 2869. Geekbench returns 117866 in OpenCL and 107502 in Vulkan. Passmark results cover multiple API workloads: DirectX 9 scores 201, DirectX 10 scores 131, DirectX 11 scores 164, and DirectX 12 scores 88. The Passmark G2D score is 818, the Passmark G3D score is 19288, and the Passmark GPU compute score is 8471. The database computes an average benchmark score of 25740 from these results, and the 70th percentile placement means the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile scores higher than 70% of all GPUs in the database.

Compared with its nearest rivals, the spread is compact. The highest rival average is 25893, belonging to the AMD Radeon R9 370X, and the lowest rival average is 25378, belonging to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. The RTX 3080 Ti Mobile's average of 25740 sits between those two figures. The deltaPct values quantify this positioning: it is 0.6% behind the R9 370X, 0.4% behind the FirePro W7100, 0.2% behind the Radeon Pro Vega 16, and 1.4% ahead of the RTX 2080 SUPER. None of the nearest rivals is more than 1.4% away from this card in either direction. The Geekbench scores show a higher OpenCL result than Vulkan score, with OpenCL at 117866 and Vulkan at 107502. Within Passmark, the G3D score of 19288 is the largest Passmark 3D score, while GPU compute is 8471. The DirectX 12-specific Passmark score of 88 is listed alongside separate API scores of 131, 164, and 201; these are distinct workloads and are not directly interchangeable. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2869 is the only 3DMark result listed, and it provides a separate DX12 data point from the Passmark DX12 score of 88. Overall, the benchmark data show a GPU whose average performance is centered in a tight cluster around 25740, with the RTX 2080 SUPER as the nearest rival below it and the three AMD products as narrow leaders above it.
