Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectures and generations. The RTX 4070 Mobile belongs to the GeForce 40-series, using the AD106 chip on Ada Lovelace architecture. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER belongs to the GeForce 50-series, using the GB203 chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture. Both are built on the same 5 nm TSMC process, but the chip designs diverge substantially.

The transistor budget differs significantly. The RTX 4070 Mobile integrates 22,900 million transistors on a 188 mm² die, yielding a density of 121.8M per mm². The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER integrates 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, yielding a density of 120.6M per mm². The density is nearly identical, but the larger die area allows the newer GPU to fit far more functional units.

The shading unit count scales with the die. The RTX 4070 Mobile has 4,608 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 48 ROPs. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. That is roughly a doubling across all three categories, which directly influences pixel throughput and texture throughput.

Ray tracing and tensor core counts also differ. The RTX 4070 Mobile has 36 RT cores and 144 tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores. The newer architecture also updates the memory subsystem: the RTX 4070 Mobile uses GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses GDDR7 with a 256-bit bus.

The power envelope is very different. The RTX 4070 Mobile is rated at 115 W TDP with no power connectors, operating as an IGP. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is rated at 350 W TDP with a single 16-pin connector and is a dual-slot card. The bus interface also changes from PCIe 4.0 x8 to PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs are portable-device dependent on the mobile part, while the desktop card offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

API support is identical: both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The release dates differ, with the RTX 4070 Mobile releasing in January 2023 and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER releasing at the end of December 2025.

The Verdict

The benchmark data presents a clear split. The RTX 4070 Mobile achieves an average benchmark score of 27,435, placing it in the 73rd percentile among all GPUs. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER achieves 6,270 on its sole 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, placing it in the 36th percentile. However, these numbers are not directly comparable because they come from different test suites. The 4070 Mobile's average includes Geekbench OpenCL, Geekbench Vulkan, and several Passmark tests, while the 5070 Ti SUPER has only one recorded 3DMark result.

The nearest rivals in the database for the RTX 4070 Mobile include the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT with an average score of 27,425 (0% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 with 27,565 (-0.5%), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell with 27,135 (1.1%), and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 with 27,839 (-1.5%). This places the mobile GPU in a tight cluster around the 27,000 to 28,000 range, effectively matching a desktop-class Radeon RX 6700 XT.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 with 6,270 (0% delta), the NVIDIA Quadro K620 with 6,282 (-0.2%), the AMD FirePro W600 with 6,223 (0.8%), and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 with 6,327 (-0.9%). These are all 3DMark Steel Nomad scores, and the deltas are all within one percent, indicating that the 5070 Ti SUPER sits at parity with those specific cards in that specific test.

The data suggests that the RTX 4070 Mobile is a strong performer in its mobile context, given its 73rd percentile standing. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, despite being a newer architecture with more hardware resources, shows a lower percentile in the limited benchmark available. The single 3DMark result should be read cautiously: it measures one workload, not general performance. The RTX 4070 Mobile has multiple benchmark results across different APIs and workloads, giving a broader view of its capabilities.

Users who need a mobile solution with proven multi-test performance should consider the RTX 4070 Mobile. Users who require a desktop card with the latest Blackwell architecture, 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, and a 350 W power envelope should consider the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, but the recorded data does not show it outperforming its rival in any direct head-to-head test.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, so there are no direct comparison scores between the two GPUs in the same test. The available data comes from separate benchmark suites. The RTX 4070 Mobile has nine recorded benchmarks. Its highest scores are 109,197 in Geekbench OpenCL and 108,367 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its Passmark scores include 116 in DirectX 10, 179 in DirectX 11, 85 in DirectX 12, 223 in DirectX 9, 763 in G2D, 19,587 in G3D, and 8,399 in GPU Compute.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a single benchmark: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 with a score of 6,269.5. That score cannot be compared to any of the 4070 Mobile's results because they measure different workloads and use different scoring scales. The 3DMark Steel Nomad test is a modern DX12 workload, while the Passmark and Geekbench tests cover different API generations and compute patterns.

Given the empty head-to-head list, the biggest wins for each GPU cannot be quantified directly. Instead, the database's nearest rival comparisons provide context. The RTX 4070 Mobile's average of 27,435 places it within 0.5% of the RTX 3090 and within 1.5% of the Radeon Pro Vega 20, showing it performs at a level comparable to high-end desktop GPUs from previous generations. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 3DMark score of 6,269.5 sits within 0.9% of the Radeon R7 M350 and within 0.8% of the FirePro W600, indicating parity with those specific cards in that specific workload.

The single 3DMark result for the 5070 Ti SUPER is a limitation in the data. It prevents any conclusion about which GPU wins in broader performance. The 4070 Mobile's multiple results show strong OpenCL and Vulkan compute performance, but no equivalent scores exist for the 5070 Ti SUPER.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the RTX 4070 Mobile wins in terms of benchmark coverage and percentile. It has nine benchmark results spanning multiple APIs and workloads, and its 73rd percentile ranking indicates it performs above most GPUs in the database. The nearest rival data shows it matching the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT exactly (0% delta) and staying within 1.5% of the Radeon Pro Vega 20. This suggests consistent performance across diverse tests.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in terms of raw hardware specifications. It has double the memory capacity (16 GB versus 8 GB), a much wider memory bus (256-bit versus 128-bit), and over three times the memory bandwidth (896.0 GB/s versus 256.0 GB/s). Its FP32 compute of 43.94 TFLOPS is nearly triple the 15.62 TFLOPS of the 4070 Mobile. Its pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s are also roughly triple the 4070 Mobile's rates.

The 5070 Ti SUPER also wins on clock speeds, with a boost clock of 2452 MHz versus 1695 MHz, and a base clock of 2295 MHz versus 1395 MHz. Its 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores exceed the 4070 Mobile's 36 and 144, respectively. The newer Blackwell 2.0 architecture and GDDR7 memory are also advantages on paper.

The 4070 Mobile wins on power efficiency, with a 115 W TDP versus 350 W. It also wins on physical flexibility, being an IGP with no power connectors, suitable for portable devices. The 5070 Ti SUPER requires a dual-slot card with a 16-pin connector and measures 304 mm by 137 mm by 48 mm.

The use-case split follows the data. The 4070 Mobile suits mobile workstations and gaming laptops where power draw and physical size are constrained, and where multi-API benchmark coverage suggests broad compatibility. The 5070 Ti SUPER suits desktop systems where the 350 W TDP and dual-slot footprint are acceptable, and where the larger memory pool and bandwidth are priorities. The 5070 Ti SUPER's single 3DMark score does not demonstrate a performance win over the 4070 Mobile, but its hardware specifications indicate a different performance class, one that the current database has not yet measured thoroughly.
