NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

The Verdict

The database comparison between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER presents two GPUs from different segments of the market. The RTX 4050 Mobile is a low-power mobile part, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a high-end desktop card. The recorded data shows the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER dominates in every measurable aspect of raw performance and feature set. The RTX 4050 Mobile, however, occupies a distinct niche where its power envelope and form factor are the primary attributes. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is for users who require maximum compute throughput and the latest memory technology in a desktop system. The RTX 4050 Mobile is for compact, power-constrained portable devices where a dedicated GPU is necessary but space and thermal limits are severe. The benchmark scores reflect this split. The RTX 4050 Mobile achieves an average benchmark score of 19,049, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER achieves an average benchmark score of 6,270. This massive difference is explained by the different benchmark suites recorded, not by a reversal in capability. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has nearly 3.5 times the shading units, over 4.6 times the FP32 throughput, and over 4.6 times the memory bandwidth. The RTX 4050 Mobile is a capable entry-level mobile solution, whereas the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a high-end desktop card.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different generations and target different form factors. The RTX 4050 Mobile uses the AD107 chip, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, and belongs to the GeForce 40 Mobile generation. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, and belongs to the GeForce 50 generation. Both are fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process node. The transistor counts differ substantially. The RTX 4050 Mobile has 18,900 million transistors on a die size of 159 mm², resulting in a transistor density of 118.9 million per mm². The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 45,600 million transistors on a die size of 378 mm², resulting in a slightly higher transistor density of 120.6 million per mm². The die size difference is significant: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses a die that is over twice the area of the RTX 4050 Mobile.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records different benchmark tests for these two GPUs, which complicates a direct comparison. The RTX 4050 Mobile has nine recorded benchmark scores across Geekbench and Passmark tests. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has only one recorded benchmark score, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, so no direct matched comparisons exist. The data shows the RTX 4050 Mobile scores 74,748 in Geekbench OpenCL and 75,235 in Geekbench Vulkan. In Passmark tests, the RTX 4050 Mobile scores 79 in DirectX 10, 130 in DirectX 11, 61 in DirectX 12, 184 in DirectX 9, 633 in G2D, 14,423 in G3D, and 5,947 in GPU Compute. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6,269.5 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12.

The average benchmark scores provide a different perspective. The RTX 4050 Mobile has an average benchmark score of 19,049, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has an average benchmark score of 6,270. This is because the average benchmark score aggregates different test types. The RTX 4050 Mobile sits at the 63rd percentile among all GPUs, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile. These percentile figures are based on different benchmark sets, so they do not directly indicate relative performance. The nearest rivals for the RTX 4050 Mobile include the AMD Radeon RX 6600 with an average score of 19,036 and a delta of 0.1%, the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 with 19,030 and a delta of 0.1%, the NVIDIA Tesla K20m with 19,089 and a delta of -0.2%, and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation with 18,954 and a delta of 0.5%. The nearest rivals for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 with an average score of 6,270 and a delta of 0%, the NVIDIA Quadro K620 with 6,282 and a delta of -0.2%, the AMD FirePro W600 with 6,223 and a delta of 0.8%, and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 with 6,327 and a delta of -0.9%.

The RTX 4050 Mobile has zero wins in head-to-head benchmarks, and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also has zero wins. This reflects the empty head-to-head benchmark list rather than a performance outcome. The single benchmark available for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,269.5, is close to the average score of its nearest rivals. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 matches it exactly with a 0% delta, while the Quadro K620 is 0.2% behind and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 is 0.9% behind. The AMD FirePro W600 is 0.8% ahead. This suggests the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER performs at a level equivalent to the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 in this specific test. The RTX 4050 Mobile, by contrast, clusters closely with its nearest rivals. The AMD Radeon RX 6600 and NVIDIA Quadro K6000 are both 0.1% ahead, while the NVIDIA Tesla K20m is 0.2% behind and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation is 0.5% behind. The RTX 4050 Mobile therefore sits right in the middle of its peer group.

The compute metrics show the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is far ahead. The FP32 throughput for the RTX 4050 Mobile is 8.986 TFLOPS, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers 43.94 TFLOPS, a multiple of 4.89. The FP16 throughput is identical at 1:1 for both. The pixel rate for the RTX 4050 Mobile is 84.24 GPixel/s, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER reaches 235.4 GPixel/s.
