NVIDIA GeForce MX130 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two GPUs into entirely different usage categories. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a desktop-class Blackwell 2.0 part aimed at high-end gaming and compute, while the NVIDIA GeForce MX130 is a Maxwell-era mobile IGP designed for basic laptop acceleration. Their benchmark portfolios do not overlap: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result (6269.5), while the MX130 has Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores (6102 and 4914). No shared tests exist in the database, so the wins are defined by which synthetic workload each card dominates.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins on any modern DirectX 12 workload. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 6269.5 places it at the 36th percentile among all GPUs, meaning it outperforms the majority of recorded graphics cards. The MX130, by contrast, sits at the 32nd percentile, a narrow gap that masks a massive architectural chasm. The MX130's best showing is in Geekbench OpenCL with 6102, but that is a compute-oriented test, not a gaming rasterization benchmark. For Vulkan, the MX130 drops to 4914, a clear sign that its Maxwell architecture lacks the modern API efficiency of Blackwell 2.0.

Where the MX130 can claim a technical win is in power envelope and physical footprint. At 30 W TDP and IGP slot width, it is designed for thin-and-light portables. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER draws 350 W and occupies a dual-slot with a 304 mm length. For a laptop that needs only basic display output and light media acceleration, the MX130's low power draw is the deciding factor. For any serious 3D rendering, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the only viable option.

Architecture Differences

The two chips share a manufacturer but little else. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip on a 5 nm TSMC process, packing 45,600 million transistors into a 378 mm² die. Transistor density reaches 120.6 million per square millimeter. The MX130 uses the GM108S chip on a 28 nm TSMC process, with 1,020 million transistors on a 77 mm² die, yielding a density of 13.2 million per square millimeter. That is a 9.1x difference in process density.

Memory subsystems are generations apart. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The MX130 has 2 GB of GDDR5 on a 64-bit bus, providing 40.10 GB/s. Bandwidth scales to 22.3x, a gap that dominates any memory-bound workload.

Compute resources differ by an order of magnitude. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores. The MX130 has 384 shading units, 24 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, with no RT or tensor cores. FP32 throughput is 43.94 TFLOPS versus 913.2 GFLOPS, a 48.1x difference. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also supports FP16 at a 1:1 ratio, while the MX130 has no recorded FP16 capability.

Feature sets reflect their eras. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The MX130 supports DirectX 12 (11_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The MX130's DirectX 12 support is limited to the 11_0 feature level, meaning it cannot execute many modern DX12 effects. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also has PCIe 5.0 x16 connectivity, while the MX130 uses PCIe 3.0 x4.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no direct head-to-head benchmark results in the database. The wins and losses must be inferred from the separate scores and their percentiles. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5 is the only gaming-oriented measurement available. That score puts it 0% away from the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, its nearest rival with an average score of 6270. It is also 0.8% ahead of the AMD FirePro W600 (6223) and 0.9% behind the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6327). The Quadro K620 sits 0.2% higher at 6282. These deltas are small, indicating that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER lands in a tight cluster of mid-range performers in the database's Steel Nomad ranking.

The MX130's Geekbench OpenCL score of 6102 places it 0.1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M (5501), 0.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon R7 M440 (5483), and 0.7% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro M4000 (5467). It trails the AMD FirePro M4000 by 0.5%, which scores 5537. The MX130's Vulkan score of 4914 is notably lower than its OpenCL score, a 19.5% drop. That gap suggests Maxwell's Vulkan driver path is less mature than its OpenCL path.

For cross-GPU comparison, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score is 6270, while the MX130's average is 5508. That is a 762-point difference, roughly 13.8% higher for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. But these averages are not apples-to-apples, since the test suites differ. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is tested under DX12 Steel Nomad, a demanding next-generation rasterization workload. The MX130 is tested under OpenCL and Vulkan, which are compute and API-level stress tests. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 36th percentile versus the MX130's 32nd percentile confirms that the newer card ranks higher globally, though both sit below the median.

The Verdict

The data points to a decisive split. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the only choice for any workload involving modern 3D graphics, ray tracing, tensor operations, or high-bandwidth memory access. Its 8960 shading units, 70 RT cores, 280 tensor cores, and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth place it in a completely different performance class. The MX130, with 384 shading units, no RT or tensor cores, and 40.10 GB/s bandwidth, cannot handle such tasks.

The MX130's sole advantage is power consumption. At 30 W with no external power connector, it fits in ultraportable laptops where a 350 W dual-slot card is physically impossible. Its IGP form factor and portable-dependent display outputs reinforce that positioning. For basic office work, video playback, and light 2D acceleration, the MX130 remains functional, but its End-of-life status and 28 nm process mean it is obsolete.

The benchmark percentiles tell the story: both cards sit near the 32-36% range globally, but that similarity is misleading. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 6269.5 Steel Nomad score reflects a modern DX12 workload, while the MX130's 6102 OpenCL and 4914 Vulkan scores reflect compute tasks from an older era. The architecture gap, from 5 nm versus 28 nm, from GDDR7 versus GDDR5, from 70 RT cores versus none, is insurmountable. Buyers seeking a current-generation desktop GPU should choose the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. Buyers needing a low-power mobile IGP for legacy systems may consider the MX130, but only if their software requirements are equally legacy.
