RTX 3080 vs 3080 Ti?

I am considering upgrading my 1080 Ti to either 3080 or to 3080 Ti.
Does any one has experience with TVAI performance on those two cards?
even better if someone upgraded from 1080 Ti…
the User benchmark Page in the forum, I take those results with skepticism as it is not “real Life” results (even on my 1080 Ti the benchmarks results tells different story to actual real life process), in addition it is very hard to search to find what you looking for. So i am interested to hear any one that know “real life” performance between 3080 vs. 3080 Ti. I want to know if the “Ti” worths the extra buck for the actual real life performance differences.

In common:

RTX 3080 RTX 3080-Ti
Graphics Processor: GA102 GA102
Shader Cores: 8704 10240
TMUs: 272 320
ROPs: 96 112
Tensor Cores: 272 320
Ray Tracing Cores: 68 80
VRAM Type: GDDR6 GDDR6
VRAM Capacity: 10 GB 12 GB
Bus Width: 320 bit 384 bit
GPU Clock: 1440 MHz 1360 MHz
Boost Clock: 1710 MHz 1665 MHz
Memory Clock: 1188 MHz 1188 MHz
Texture Fill Rate: 465.1 GTexel/s 532.8 GTexel/s
Pixel Rate: 164.2 GPixel/s 186.5 GPixel/s
Double Floating-point Performance: 465.1 GFLOPS 532.8 GFLOPS

So you have HW comparison. But efficience of usage would be depend on software realization (for example - usage of tensor cores by TVAI).

I know about the raw specs of the two. it is not the 1st time in GPU/CPU History that theory performance boost based on specs, is totally different in real world scenarios and benchmarks.
most of the “shining” specs that Ti offers are more relevant for gaming.
I am solo interested for TVAI. I don’t game.

My question in practice, if anyone has experience how much the Ti provided a performance boost in TVAI vs. non-Ti with the 3080…
also if anyone upgraded a 1080 Ti to 3080 (or 3080 Ti) and can testify how much TVAI performance boost they actually got, would be even more appreciated.

I recommend RTX 4070 over RTX 3080/Ti.

The power consumption of RTX3080/Ti is 350 watt, while RTX4070 only consume 200 watt, with similar performance in TVAI.

but it’s double the price at my local market.

What is your HW configuration? CPU and RAM speed/latency have great impact on overall performance.
Also take in scope - each version has changes in AI models and other code, so what you get for version “A” may be not actual for version “B” after short time…

get the one with more memory.

what i see over and over again is the lack of memory.

I am aware of this, but that is not what I am focusing about. I was asking the difference in performance in TVAI between 3080 and 3080 Ti on the same hardware.

You’re wrong. Performance of processing depednd not only on AI/GPU power.
Best way - take both cads with money-back guarantees and check on your configuration.

I have a 3080 ti and a 4070 ti. The 4070 ti is in a newer machine with a newer CPU and such. It runs about 4 fps faster than the 3080ti, on average, doing DVD to Blu-ray resolution. That’s probably not worth the extra money. I had a really hard time finding a 4070 ti that I could fit into my computer case.
For the 3080 versus the 3080 ti, I only have the benchmarks to go off of. When I look at submissions with similar CPUs to what I have, it looks like mine is about 2 fps faster, at best.

No one claimed that other components do not effect performance. but you are missing the point of what was asked.
if used on same system a 3080 or 3080 Ti how much “%” (estimation) boost a Ti will really bring to the table when processing with TVAI?
focus on the question and don’t attempt to deviate to other subject of the PC. that is how benchmarks are done. same machine, but different Card to see the difference. Ignore the fact or possibility of CPU,RAM, etc. being a bottle neck, just focus on the card…
and no, I don’t have that luxury / option to get a card with money back.

you mean based on what you observed on benchmark submissions , there is about ~2 fps gap between the 3080 and the 3080 Ti?

That’s my best guess. I should qualify it with: I mainly looked at the x1 numbers. Let me re-look at the x2 numbers.

Completed re-looking, and well, it’s not clear. No one has the same CPU and a 3080. The closest benchmark I could find, their 3080 score was better than my 3080 ti. The CPU does way too much. For example: One time I took my 3080 ti and put it in my new computer. It went from like 12.20 fps to 15.30. That’s from AMD 5900X to the AMD 7900X and DDR5. That’s just looking at the x2 numbers.

So from that, I cannot say if the cost of 3080 versus 3080 ti will be worth it for you. I do know that in other benchmarks, the 3080 ti was able to get to the same levels as the founders edition 3090. That might not effect TVAI though.
