NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for this comparison is limited to a single benchmark result for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, with no corresponding score for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103. The only measurable outcome comes from the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, where the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 produces a score of 6269.5 points. This places it at the 36th percentile among all GPUs in the database, which indicates that it outperforms roughly two-thirds of the hardware catalog while remaining behind the top tier of graphics cards.

The RTX 4070 AD103 has no benchmark entries in the database, so a direct head-to-head numerical comparison cannot be established from the available measurements. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER with an average score of 6270 and a delta of 0 percent, meaning they perform identically in the recorded data. Other nearby competitors include the NVIDIA Quadro K620 at 6282 (0.2 percent ahead), the AMD FirePro W600 at 6223 (0.8 percent behind), and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 at 6327 (0.9 percent ahead of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102). These deltas are all within a single percentage point, which suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 sits in a tightly contested performance band where small score differences separate the contenders.

Without a benchmark score for the RTX 4070 AD103, the analysis must rely on the architectural specifications recorded in the database to project relative performance. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 delivers 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the RTX 4070 AD103 delivers 29.15 TFLOPS. That represents a 51.3 percent advantage in raw floating-point throughput for the Ti SUPER part. Pixel throughput differs even more dramatically: the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 achieves 250.6 GPixel/s versus 158.4 GPixel/s for the RTX 4070 AD103, a 58.2 percent gap. Texture rate follows the same pattern, with 689.0 GTexel/s for the Ti SUPER and 455.4 GTexel/s for the base model, a 51.3 percent difference.

Memory bandwidth also favors the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 substantially. The Ti SUPER uses a 256-bit bus with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and achieves 672.3 GB/s. The RTX 4070 AD103 uses a 192-bit bus with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and reaches 504.2 GB/s. That is a 33.3 percent bandwidth advantage for the Ti SUPER part. Both cards run their memory at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed, so the bandwidth difference comes entirely from the wider bus.

Clock speeds recorded in the database also show an edge for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102. Its base clock is 2340 MHz and its boost clock is 2610 MHz, compared to 1920 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost for the RTX 4070 AD103. The boost clock difference of 135 MHz (5.5 percent) is modest relative to the compute and memory advantages, but it compounds with the higher core counts.

The Verdict

The database shows a clear hierarchy between these two cards based on the recorded specifications and the single benchmark result. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 is the stronger performer in every measurable category where data exists. Its FP32 throughput of 44.10 TFLOPS is 51.3 percent higher than the RTX 4070 AD103's 29.15 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s is 58.2 percent higher than 158.4 GPixel/s. Its texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s is 51.3 percent higher than 455.4 GTexel/s. Its memory bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s is 33.3 percent higher than 504.2 GB/s.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 also carries more of every processing resource. It has 8448 shading units versus 5888, 264 texture mapping units versus 184, 96 render output units versus 64, 66 ray tracing cores versus 46, and 264 tensor cores versus 184. Each of these counts represents a substantial increase in parallel processing capability, and the benchmark result confirms that the additional hardware translates into a higher score in at least one DirectX 12 workload.

The RTX 4070 AD103 is the more compact and power-efficient option according to the recorded data. Its dimensions are 240 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, making it a dual-slot card. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 is 310 mm long, 140 mm tall, and 61 mm wide, occupying a triple-slot profile. The smaller card draws 200 W of power with a suggested PSU of 550 W, while the larger card draws 285 W with a suggested PSU of 600 W. Neither card has a recorded benchmark score for the RTX 4070 AD103, so the verdict rests on the specification deltas and the single 3DMark result for the Ti SUPER.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 wins in raw compute performance, memory capacity, and memory bandwidth. Its 16 GB frame buffer is 33.3 percent larger than the 12 GB on the RTX 4070 AD103, which matters for workloads that exceed the smaller capacity. The 256-bit bus delivers 672.3 GB/s, a 33.3 percent improvement over 504.2 GB/s, which benefits texture-heavy rendering and high-resolution buffers. The higher shading unit count of 8448 versus 5888, combined with the 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 rate, gives it a decisive edge in compute-bound tasks such as ray tracing, physics simulation, and AI inference workloads that use the tensor cores.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 also wins on clock speeds. Its 2340 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost clocks are above the RTX 4070 AD103's 1920 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost. Higher clocks with more cores mean that per-thread performance is also stronger, not just aggregate throughput. The recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 6269.5 demonstrates that this hardware configuration produces a concrete result in a modern DirectX 12 benchmark, and the 36th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it in the upper-middle range of the database.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 wins on physical footprint and power requirements. It is a dual-slot card at 240 mm length, which fits in smaller chassis compared to the 310 mm triple-slot RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102. Its 200 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU are both lower than the 285 W and 600 W figures for the larger card. For builds where space or power supply headroom is constrained, the RTX 4070 AD103 is the more accommodating option. The database does not record a benchmark score for this card, so its performance wins cannot be quantified from direct measurements.

Architecture Differences

Both cards belong to the GeForce 40-series generation and use the Ada Lovelace architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The core difference lies in the silicon die. The RTX 4070 AD103 uses the AD103 chip with 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 121.1 million per mm². The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 uses the AD102 chip with 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 125.3 million per mm². The AD102 die is 60.7 percent larger in area and contains 66.2 percent more transistors.

The processing resources scale accordingly. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 has 8448 shading units, 264 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 66 RT cores, and 264 tensor cores. The RTX 4070 AD103 has 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 46 RT cores, and 184 tensor cores. Every unit count is higher on the AD102 part, with shading units up 43.5 percent, TMUs up 43.5 percent, ROPs up 50 percent, RT cores up 43.5 percent, and tensor cores up 43.5 percent.

Clock behavior differs as well. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 runs at a base clock of 2340 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz. The RTX 4070 AD103 runs at a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz. Despite the larger die, the Ti SUPER part maintains higher clocks, which indicates better power delivery and thermal characteristics in the recorded specifications.

Memory architecture is another major differentiator. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 uses 16 GB of GDDR6X over a 256-bit bus, yielding 672.3 GB/s. The RTX 4070 AD103 uses 12 GB of GDDR6X over a 192-bit bus, yielding 504.2 GB/s. Both run memory at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective data rate, so the bandwidth gap is purely a function of bus width.

The two cards share identical display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a), bus interface (PCIe 4.0 x16), and API support (DirectX 12 Ultimate with 12_2 feature level, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.4). Both use a single 16-pin power connector. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 has a TDP of 285 W with a 600 W suggested PSU, while the RTX 4070 AD103 has a TDP of 200 W with a 550 W suggested PSU. Both cards are marked end-of-life in the database, with release dates of 2024-06-09 for the Ti SUPER and 2024-02-29 for the base model. The launch MSRP is 799 USD for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 and 599 USD for the RTX 4070 AD103.
