NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 SE vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark comparison between the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 SE and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is not a direct contest in any shared workload. The database records a single OpenCL score for the GTX 560 SE and a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, with no overlapping test results. This makes a traditional head-to-head comparison impossible, but the recorded data still offers meaningful context when each card is placed against its own nearest rivals.

The GTX 560 SE posts a Geekbench OpenCL score of 7,171 points. That result places it in the 39th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its closest measured competitor is the Intel Iris Pro Graphics P580, which scores 7,170 points, a delta of exactly 0 percent. The GTX 560 SE effectively ties that integrated graphics solution. It sits 0.2 percent ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, which scores 7,157 points. Against the AMD Radeon Vega 8 Mobile, the GTX 560 SE is 0.4 percent behind, as that AMD part scores 7,203 points. The GTX 560 SE also trails the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 by 0.7 percent, with the GTX 750 scoring 7,222 points. These are extremely narrow margins, all within a 1 percent band, indicating that the GTX 560 SE's compute performance in OpenCL is essentially on par with a range of older integrated and entry-level discrete graphics solutions.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, in contrast, delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,269.5 points. Its percentile ranking is 36th among all GPUs, slightly lower than the GTX 560 SE's 39th percentile, but this reflects the different benchmark suites rather than a direct performance relationship. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, which scores exactly 6,270 points, a delta of 0 percent. The NVIDIA Quadro K620 scores 6,282 points, putting it 0.2 percent ahead of the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The AMD FirePro W600 scores 6,223 points, meaning the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER leads that workstation card by 0.8 percent. Finally, the AMD Radeon R7 M350 scores 6,327 points, which places the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER 0.9 percent behind that mobile part. Again, the margins are tiny, clustering the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER with a set of very different GPUs in this particular DX12 workload.

The Verdict

Strictly from the recorded data, the GTX 560 SE and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER cannot be ranked against each other because they were tested in different benchmark suites. The GTX 560 SE's 7,171 OpenCL score and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 6,269.5 Steel Nomad score are not comparable numbers.

What the data does show is that each card holds its own within its respective benchmark. The GTX 560 SE sits within 0.7 percent of four rival GPUs, neither dominating nor being dominated. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER similarly lands within 0.9 percent of its four nearest rivals. Neither card is a standout in its own test, but both are competitive with the specific alternatives listed.

For a builder deciding between these two, the choice comes down to generation and feature set, not benchmark scores. The GTX 560 SE is an end-of-life product from the GeForce 500 generation, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is an active GeForce 50-series part. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER offers modern APIs including DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, whereas the GTX 560 SE only reaches DirectX 12 (11_0) with no Vulkan support. If the workload requires modern graphics features, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the only viable option. If the task is legacy OpenCL compute, the GTX 560 SE remains functional but offers nothing beyond that.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from entirely different architectural eras. The GTX 560 SE is built on the Fermi 2.0 architecture using the GF114 chip, fabricated on a 40 nm process at TSMC. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB203 chip, also from TSMC but on a 5 nm process node. The transistor counts tell a dramatic story: the GTX 560 SE packs 1,950 million transistors on a 332 mm² die, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER integrates 45,600 million transistors on a slightly larger 378 mm² die. Transistor density jumps from 5.9 million per square millimeter on the Fermi part to 120.6 million per square millimeter on the Blackwell part.

The shading resources are equally divergent. The GTX 560 SE has 288 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 ROPs. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scales this up to 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also adds dedicated hardware that simply did not exist in the Fermi era: 70 ray tracing cores and 280 tensor cores. The GTX 560 SE has no equivalent hardware.

Compute throughput reflects the architectural gap. The GTX 560 SE delivers 847.9 GFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER reaches 43.94 TFLOPS, a massive difference. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also provides FP16 performance at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, both at 43.94 TFLOPS, while the GTX 560 SE has no recorded FP16 capability. Pixel and texture rates follow the same pattern: the GTX 560 SE produces 8.832 GPixel/s and 35.33 GTexel/s, versus 235.4 GPixel/s and 686.6 GTexel/s for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every recorded specification. Memory capacity goes from 1024 MB of GDDR5 on the GTX 560 SE to 16 GB of GDDR7 on the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The memory bus widens from 192 bit to 256 bit, and bandwidth jumps from 91.87 GB/s to 896.0 GB/s. Memory clock speeds are recorded differently: the GTX 560 SE runs at 957 MHz with 3.8 Gbps effective, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective.

Core clocks are only recorded for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, with a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz. The GTX 560 SE has no base or boost clock listed.

The bus interface advances from PCIe 2.0 x16 to PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs differ as well: the GTX 560 SE offers 2x DVI and 1x mini-HDMI 1.3a, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. Physical dimensions are only listed for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER at 304 mm length, 137 mm height, and 48 mm width. The GTX 560 SE is 210 mm long. Both are dual-slot cards.

Where Each One Wins

The GTX 560 SE wins in legacy compatibility scenarios. It uses a 40 nm process with a simpler power profile at 150 W, requiring only a 450 W suggested PSU and 2x 6-pin connectors. Its 210 mm length makes it easier to fit in compact cases. The 2x DVI and 1x mini-HDMI 1.3a outputs suit older displays. For users running very old software that relies on OpenCL compute without modern graphics features, the GTX 560 SE's 7,171 Geekbench OpenCL score shows it can still handle basic compute tasks, though it sits within 1 percent of several rivals.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in every modern workload category. Its 8,960 shading units, 70 ray tracing cores, and 280 tensor cores enable features the GTX 560 SE cannot attempt. The 16 GB GDDR7 memory with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth supports large textures and datasets. The DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 API support means the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is ready for current and near-future games. The PCIe 5.0 x16 interface doubles the bandwidth available to the GTX 560 SE's PCIe 2.0 x16 connection. Display output is also modern, with HDMI 2.1b and DisplayPort 2.1b supporting high refresh rates and high resolutions. The 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 and matching FP16 performance make it suitable for compute-heavy applications, while the GTX 560 SE's 847.9 GFLOPS FP32 output is limited to basic tasks.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also wins on transistor efficiency, packing 120.6 million transistors per square millimeter versus 5.9 million on the GTX 560 SE. The 5 nm process node allows this density while the 40 nm process on the older card cannot compete. For a builder assembling a new system in the current market, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the only sensible choice based on the recorded data. The GTX 560 SE remains a historical artifact, functional for specific legacy uses but far outside any modern performance envelope.
