But due to the Lite Hash Rate GPU core, it comes easily available. The reason for Nvidia graphic cards being expensive is also explained by the sky-rise demand for cryptocurrency. The LHR is known to be set the equal performance while keeping in check the hash rate of Ethereum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ray tracing is another feature of RTX. It is hardware-accelerated. Both cards are completely fitted to use ray tracing to help show the reflections and shadows at the photon level. Which, in return, will provide a sense of realism in games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here is the rub: Ray tracing is not very much easy. In short: demanding. Here other several RTX features, like DLSS or deep learning super sampling play their part. This tech used artificial intelligence to improve the resolution of games. Take, for example, if the game resolution is at 1080p; the DLSS will help render it to 4K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nvidia-rtx-geforce-3070-vs-3080-which-one-you-should-buy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NVIDIA_RTX_GeForce_3070_VS_3080_Which_One_You_Should_Buy\"><\/span>NVIDIA RTX GeForce 3070 VS 3080: Which One You Should Buy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The above-mentioned details of both the GPU specifications highlight the supremacy of the 3080 graphic cards in all categories. The RTX 3080 card stands out in all criteria judgment which makes it essentially the first choice over 3070. However, on the other hand, RTX 3070 is also fully-capable of processing quick and smooth. Especially, on 2560&#215;1440 and later 1920&#215;1080. Moreover, it also costs you less than RTX 3080.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we will leave the option of opting for either NVidia GeForce RTX 3070 vs 3080 on you.
