NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super vs NVIDIA RTX 5080 for local LLMs
14 reports on the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super and 29 on the NVIDIA RTX 5080
Which is faster for local LLMs?
Nobody has reported the same model at the same quant on both cards yet, so there's no measured head-to-head. Memory bandwidth, which caps how fast a card can write, is 43% higher on the NVIDIA RTX 5080 (672 GB/s on the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super, 960 on the NVIDIA RTX 5080).
