In theory, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti should perform a small bit faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 overall. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		622899 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3070		(Unknown) MB/sec
	Difference: 622899 (-100%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti should be a little bit (about 10%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 3070. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		302400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070		276000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 26400 (10%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is superior to the GeForce RTX 3070, but only just. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti		151200 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3070		144000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 7200 (5%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
