GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs GeForce RTX 3090

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the faster card — roughly 5% ahead of the GeForce RTX 3090 on our spec-derived score, and it's the better pick if you're targeting 1440p. The GeForce RTX 3090 still makes sense if it's meaningfully cheaper or you're gaming at a lower resolution. Run your full build through BuildForge to see whether your CPU can actually keep either card fed before you spend.

Will your CPU bottleneck either card?

A faster GPU only helps if the rest of your build can feed it. Drop in your full specs and BuildForge tells you the real bottleneck, FPS for the games you play, and the upgrade that actually moves the needle.
