Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA GB10 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER share the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and the 5 nm TSMC process node, but they diverge significantly in chip design and target application. The GB10 uses the GB20B chip from the Server Blackwell (Bxx) generation, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip from the GeForce 50-series. This fundamental split dictates nearly every other architectural choice.

The GB10 packs 6144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output pipelines. It also includes 48 ray tracing cores and 384 tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output pipelines, along with 70 ray tracing cores and 280 tensor cores. While the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has more shading units and ray tracing cores, the GB10 has more texture mapping units and tensor cores.

The transistor counts differ markedly. The GB10 lists transistors as unknown in the database, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 120.6M per mm². The GB10 has a die size of 382 mm², slightly larger than the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 378 mm², despite the unknown transistor count.

Clock behavior also separates the two. The GB10 has a base clock of 1665 MHz and a boost clock of 2418 MHz. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER starts much higher and boosts slightly higher, contributing to its FP32 advantage of 43.94 TFLOPS versus the GB10's 29.71 TFLOPS. Both have 1:1 FP16 ratios at the same figures.

The GB10 is an IGP with a 140 W TDP and no power connectors, suggesting a tightly integrated server solution. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a dual-slot card requiring a 1x 16-pin power connector and consuming 350 W. The GB10 has a single HDMI output, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the GB10 and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The two GPUs were tested under entirely different benchmark suites, which makes a raw score comparison misleading. The GB10 was measured with Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan, producing scores of 120137 and 114648 respectively. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER was measured with 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, producing a score of 6269.5.

Despite the lack of direct comparisons, the nearest rival data provides context for each GPU's standing. The GB10's average benchmark score of 117393 places it 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation (117088), 1.3% behind the AMD Radeon PRO W7700 (118976), 2.6% ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB (114395), and 3% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile (113944). The GB10 sits in the 95th percentile of all GPUs in the database.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score of 6270 is exactly tied with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (6270, 0% delta). It trails the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6282) by 0.2%, leads the AMD FirePro W600 (6223) by 0.8%, and trails the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6327) by 0.9%. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits in the 36th percentile of all GPUs in the database.

The benchmark data indicates these GPUs serve different purposes. The GB10's high percentile and strong OpenCL/Vulkan scores suggest compute-oriented workloads. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score reflects a gaming-focused test, and its percentile is lower partly because the benchmark pool includes many specialized compute cards. The 0% delta against the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 shows the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers comparable performance in that specific DX12 workload.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field in the database. The GB10 has a base clock of 1665 MHz versus the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 2295 MHz. Boost clocks are closer: 2418 MHz for the GB10 versus 2452 MHz for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. Memory clocks differ substantially: the GB10 runs at 1067 MHz with 8.5 Gbps effective, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective.

Memory size and type are major differentiators. The GB10 has 128 GB of LPDDR5X, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR7. Both use a 256-bit bus, but bandwidth diverges sharply: 273.2 GB/s for the GB10 versus 896.0 GB/s for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER.

Core counts differ in every category. The GB10 has 6144 shading units, 384 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 48 RT cores, and 384 tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER leads in shading units, ROPs, and RT cores, while the GB10 leads in TMUs and tensor cores.

Pixel and texture rates follow the ROP and TMU counts. The GB10 achieves 116.1 GPixel/s and 928.5 GTexel/s. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER achieves 235.4 GPixel/s and 686.6 GTexel/s. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER more than doubles pixel throughput but falls behind in texture throughput.

Power and physical dimensions also differ. The GB10 has a 140 W TDP, no power connectors, and a suggested PSU of 300 W. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a 350 W TDP, a 1x 16-pin connector, and no suggested PSU listed. The GB10 is an IGP measuring 150 mm by 51 mm by 150 mm, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a dual-slot card measuring 304 mm by 137 mm by 48 mm.

API support is another clear split. The GB10 lists DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan as N/A. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The GB10 has a single HDMI output; the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

Where Each One Wins

The GB10 wins in memory capacity and tensor core count. Its 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory dwarfs the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB, making it suitable for large datasets that cannot fit in smaller memory pools. Its 384 tensor cores exceed the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 280, which may benefit certain AI or compute workloads that scale with tensor core count. The GB10 also has more TMUs (384 versus 280), delivering a higher texture rate of 928.5 GTexel/s versus 686.6 GTexel/s. The GB10's lower TDP of 140 W versus 350 W and its IGP form factor with no power connectors make it a lower-power integrated option.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in raw compute throughput, memory bandwidth, pixel rate, and API support. Its 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 is 48% higher than the GB10's 29.71 TFLOPS. Its 896.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is more than triple the GB10's 273.2 GB/s, which directly benefits bandwidth-hungry workloads. Its 235.4 GPixel/s pixel rate doubles the GB10's 116.1 GPixel/s. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also has more shading units (8960 versus 6144) and more RT cores (70 versus 48), plus full DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 support, which the GB10 lacks entirely. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, while smaller in capacity, uses a faster memory type with much higher effective speed.

The benchmark data reinforces this split. The GB10's average score of 117393 in the 95th percentile reflects strong compute performance among server and workstation-class GPUs. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 6269.5 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 demonstrates its gaming and graphics workload capability, matching the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 exactly.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear division of roles. The NVIDIA GB10 is a server-class IGP with massive 128 GB memory capacity, a 140 W TDP, and a high 95th percentile ranking. It targets compute environments where memory capacity and tensor core density matter more than consumer API support or pixel throughput. Its lack of DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan support confirms it is not intended for conventional graphics workloads.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a consumer GeForce 50-series card with 16 GB GDDR7, 43.94 TFLOPS FP32, and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth. It supports the full modern API stack, including DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score ties the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102. It is built for high-bandwidth, high-throughput graphics and gaming workloads, with a 350 W TDP and dual-slot cooling.

Users requiring large memory pools for server-side compute should choose the GB10. Users needing consumer graphics performance, modern API support, and high memory bandwidth should choose the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The two GPUs are not substitutes; they serve different segments of the market, and the recorded data provides no head-to-head benchmark to suggest otherwise.
