8 GB Asus ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3070 TI vs Zotac 10GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080

Hi Guys,

I am new to building pcs so really have no idea what I'm talking about - I can get either of these 2 graphics cards for similar price.

Which is better?

Many thanks.

The extra VRAM would be nice but it really depends on price because other than the VRAM there shouldn't be much of a noticeable difference between the two cards. If the 3070 Ti is cheaper by a decent amount then get that and if the 3080 is cheaper then get that. The only difference you'll probably see is the 3080 might clock higher due to the added VRAM. *I'm not an expert on this type of stuff but I have been building PCs since 2016, I would look up YouTube videos before making a final decision*
