NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER vs NVIDIA Rubin GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a full suite of recorded benchmark results, while the Rubin GPU has none. The database shows zero benchmark entries for the Rubin GPU, giving it an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile rank of 50 among all GPUs. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, posts an average benchmark score of 31087 and sits in the 76th percentile of all GPUs.

Looking at the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's individual results, its strongest showing comes in Geekbench OpenCL with a score of 199267. The PassMark G3D score of 31811 and PassMark G2D score of 1225 further demonstrate its rasterization capabilities. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the card records 5569 points. The Geekbench Vulkan result of 53683 indicates solid compute performance through that API as well.

The nearest rivals for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER provide context for these numbers. The NVIDIA Quadro M5000 averages 31206, which is 0.4% higher than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's average. The GRID M60-1Q also sits 0.4% ahead at 31220. The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell leads by 1.4% with a 31532 average, and the TITAN RTX is 1.9% ahead at 31676. These are narrow margins, placing the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in a competitive band where performance differences between these cards are minimal.

Because the Rubin GPU has no benchmark data, no head-to-head deltas can be calculated. The wins counter shows zero for both sides. The data simply does not support a direct performance comparison. What the database does record is the Rubin GPU's specifications, which are substantial, but without measured scores, numerical comparison is impossible.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent entirely different design philosophies. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses the AD103 chip built on Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. It packs 45,900 million transistors into a 379 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 121.1M per mm². The Rubin GPU uses the GR100 chip on Rubin architecture, also from TSMC but on a 3 nm process. Its transistor count reaches 336,000 million across a 1456 mm² die, with a density of 230.8M per mm².

The memory subsystems diverge sharply. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, delivering 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The Rubin GPU carries 288 GB of HBM4 across a 16384-bit bus, producing 22.1 TB/s of bandwidth. That is a massive difference in both capacity and throughput, reflecting the Rubin GPU's server-oriented design.

Compute resources also differ. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 8448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. It includes 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores. The Rubin GPU has 28672 shading units, 896 TMUs, and only 24 ROPs. It has 896 tensor cores, but the database lists no RT core count for it. The Rubin GPU's pixel rate of 54.41 GPixel/s is far lower than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 250.6 GPixel/s, which is consistent with its low ROP count. Its texture rate of 2,031.2 GTexel/s, however, crushes the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 689.0 GTexel/s.

Clock behavior reveals different operating targets. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER runs at a base clock of 2340 MHz and boosts to 2610 MHz. The Rubin GPU has a base clock of only 700 MHz but boosts to 2267 MHz. The low base clock suggests a power-limited or thermally constrained server environment, while the boost clock brings it closer to desktop territory.

Floating-point throughput shows the Rubin GPU's compute advantage. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers 44.10 TFLOPS for FP32 and the same 44.10 TFLOPS for FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Rubin GPU produces 130.0 TFLOPS for FP32 and 260.0 TFLOPS for FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. That means the Rubin GPU is roughly 3x faster in FP32 and nearly 6x faster in FP16.

API support differs completely. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Rubin GPU lists N/A for all three APIs, reinforcing its role as a compute-oriented server part with no graphics API support.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins in every category where measured data exists. Its benchmark scores span DirectX 9 through DirectX 12, OpenCL, Vulkan, and general-purpose compute. The PassMark DirectX 9 score of 360, DirectX 11 score of 278, and DirectX 12 score of 119 show strong legacy API performance. The PassMark GPU Compute score of 18372 indicates solid compute throughput for a desktop card.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER also wins on display capabilities. It has 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, making it suitable for multi-monitor desktop setups. The Rubin GPU has no display outputs at all. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's PCIe 4.0 x16 interface is standard for consumer systems, while the Rubin GPU uses PCIe 6.0 x16, which no consumer platform currently supports.

The Rubin GPU wins on raw specification sheets. Its memory capacity of 288 GB, bandwidth of 22.1 TB/s, shading unit count of 28672, and FP32 throughput of 130.0 TFLOPS all exceed the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER by wide margins. The Rubin GPU's 896 tensor cores double the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 264 tensor cores, suggesting it is built for large-scale AI workloads.

The Rubin GPU also wins on production status and process technology. It is marked as Active with a release date of 2025-12-31, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is End-of-life. The Rubin GPU uses a 3 nm process versus 5 nm, and its transistor density of 230.8M per mm² is nearly double that of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear split. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a finished, measured product with a full benchmark profile. Its average score of 31087 places it in the 76th percentile, within 1.9% of its nearest rivals. It supports all major graphics APIs, has display outputs, fits in a triple-slot form factor, and carries a launch MSRP of 799 USD. Anyone needing a desktop graphics card with verified performance should look at the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.

The Rubin GPU is a specification sheet with no measured results. Its 130.0 TFLOPS FP32, 22.1 TB/s bandwidth, and 896 tensor cores point to a server-class compute accelerator. But the database records no benchmarks for it, and its N/A API support, lack of display outputs, and 2300 W TDP make it unsuitable for desktop use. The Rubin GPU is Active and scheduled for release on 2025-12-31, but until benchmark data appears, its real-world performance remains unquantified.

For measured results, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the only choice. For raw specifications aimed at compute-heavy server workloads, the Rubin GPU leads on paper. The percentile rank of 50 for the Rubin GPU reflects its unknown status, not a performance verdict. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's percentile rank of 76 is grounded in actual scores. That is the fundamental difference: one GPU has evidence, the other does not.
