Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Synthetic benchmark performance

Non-gaming benchmark results comparison. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.



Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

3DMark Vantage Performance

3DMark Vantage is an outdated DirectX 10 benchmark using 1280x1024 screen resolution. It taxes the graphics card with two scenes, one depicting a girl escaping some militarized base located within a sea cave, the other displaying a space fleet attack on a defenseless planet. It was discontinued in April 2017, and Time Spy benchmark is now recommended to be used instead.

Chip lithography 40 nm 8 nm
Power consumption (TDP) 14 Watt 350 Watt

GeForce 310M has 2400% lower power consumption.

RTX 3080 Ti, on the other hand, has an age advantage of 11 years, and a 400% more advanced lithography process.

We couldn't decide between GeForce 310M and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. We've got no test results to judge.

Be aware that GeForce 310M is a notebook card while GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is a desktop one.
