NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER vs NVIDIA T1000 Comparison

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a vastly more powerful GPU, but the T1000 still has a role in specific workstation scenarios. The data shows a clear performance hierarchy, but the choice depends entirely on whether you need raw compute or a low-profile, low-power display adapter.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive victory for the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in every shared benchmark. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 199,267 points against the T1000's 37,704 points. That is a delta of -81.1% for the T1000, meaning the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is roughly five times faster in this compute workload.

The gap narrows somewhat in the Geekbench Vulkan test, but the result is still one-sided. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 53,683 points, while the T1000 manages 34,874 points. The delta here is -35%, indicating the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is about 54% faster in Vulkan. This smaller gap suggests the T1000's Turing architecture handles Vulkan's driver overhead relatively better than OpenCL, but it does not change the overall conclusion: the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins both head-to-head benchmarks.

Looking at the broader database, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has an average benchmark score of 31,087, placing it in the 76th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (31,206, -0.4%), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q (31,220, -0.4%), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (31,532, -1.4%), and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX (31,676, -1.9%). This means the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER sits in a tight cluster where performance differences are within 2%, making it effectively comparable to those high-end cards in average score.

The T1000, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 36,289, which places it in the 80th percentile. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 5300M (36,529, -0.7%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X (36,530, -0.7%), the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (35,860, 1.2%), and the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 (35,520, 2.2%). Interestingly, the T1000's average score is higher than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's average score, despite losing both direct head-to-head tests. This is because the T1000's average is based only on its two Geekbench scores, which are both relatively strong, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's average includes several Passmark tests where it scores much lower (e.g., 119 in DirectX 12, 181 in DirectX 10). The T1000's placement in the 80th percentile versus the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 76th percentile reflects this quirk of the averaging method, not real-world superiority.

FAQ

Q: Which GPU has a higher average benchmark score?

A: The T1000 has an average benchmark score of 36,289, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has an average of 31,087. However, this is misleading because the T1000 only has two recorded benchmarks (Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan), while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has ten, including several low-scoring Passmark tests.

Q: How much faster is the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in OpenCL?

A: The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 199,267 in Geekbench OpenCL versus 37,704 for the T1000, a delta of -81.1%. This means the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is approximately 5.3 times faster in this specific compute test.

Q: Is the T1000 competitive in Vulkan performance?

A: The T1000 scores 34,874 in Geekbench Vulkan, which is 35% lower than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 53,683. It is not competitive in absolute terms, though the percentage gap is much smaller than in OpenCL.

Q: What is the power consumption difference?

A: The T1000 has a TDP of 50 W with no power connectors and a suggested PSU of 250 W. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a TDP of 285 W, requires a single 16-pin connector, and needs a 600 W PSU. This is a 235 W difference in TDP.

Q: Which card has more memory and bandwidth?

A: The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus with 672.3 GB/s bandwidth. The T1000 has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 160.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 4 times the capacity and roughly 4.2 times the bandwidth.

Q: Are these cards in the same performance percentile?

A: No. The T1000 is in the 80th percentile of all GPUs, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is in the 76th percentile. This is counterintuitive given the head-to-head results, but it reflects the different benchmark sets recorded for each card.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins in every directly comparable metric. Its compute performance is dramatically higher, as shown by the OpenCL and Vulkan scores. It also has far more memory (16 GB vs 4 GB), higher bandwidth (672.3 GB/s vs 160.0 GB/s), and a much newer architecture. For any workload that stresses the GPU, from rendering to machine learning to high-resolution gaming, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the clear choice.

The T1000 wins in power efficiency and physical footprint. Its 50 W TDP means it can run without any power connectors, and its single-slot design (156 mm length, 69 mm height) fits into compact chassis where the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's triple-slot, 310 mm length would not fit. The T1000's suggested PSU of 250 W is also far less demanding than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 600 W requirement. For a workstation that only needs basic display output, multiple monitors (4x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a), and occasional light acceleration, the T1000 is functionally adequate.

The T1000 also has a higher percentile ranking (80th vs 76th) and a higher average benchmark score, but as noted, this is an artifact of the limited benchmark data. In direct comparison, the T1000 wins zero head-to-head benchmarks, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins two. The only real advantages for the T1000 are its power draw, size, and the ability to be powered entirely by the PCIe slot.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ drastically in almost every specification. The T1000 uses the TU117 chip on a 12 nm process, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses the AD103 chip on a 5 nm process. Transistor counts are 4,700 million versus 45,900 million, a nearly 10x difference. Die size is 200 mm² for the T1000 and 379 mm² for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, giving transistor densities of 23.5M/mm² and 121.1M/mm² respectively.

Clock speeds differ significantly: the T1000 has a base clock of 1065 MHz and a boost of 1395 MHz, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a base of 2340 MHz and a boost of 2610 MHz. Memory is 4 GB GDDR6 at 1250 MHz (10 Gbps effective) on a 128-bit bus for the T1000, versus 16 GB GDDR6X at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) on a 256-bit bus for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.

Core counts are vastly different: the T1000 has 896 shading units, 56 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 8,448 shading units, 264 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER also has 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores, which the T1000 lacks entirely. Pixel rate is 44.64 GPixel/s for the T1000 versus 250.6 GPixel/s for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. Texture rate is 78.12 GTexel/s versus 689.0 GTexel/s. FP32 performance is 2.500 TFLOPS versus 44.10 TFLOPS, and FP16 is 5.000 TFLOPS (2:1) versus 44.10 TFLOPS (1:1).

The T1000 uses PCIe 3.0 x16, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs are 4x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a for the T1000, versus 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The T1000 supports DirectX 12 (12_1), while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

Architecture Differences

The T1000 is built on NVIDIA's Turing architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 12 nm process. It uses the TU117 chip, which is a small, low-power design. Turing introduced hardware ray tracing and tensor cores on higher-end chips, but the TU117 in the T1000 has neither: the RT cores and tensor cores fields are null for this card. It is a pure rasterization and compute GPU.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses the Ada Lovelace architecture, built on TSMC's 5 nm process. It uses the AD103 chip, which is a large, high-density design with 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores. Ada Lovelace represents a major generational leap over Turing, with higher clock speeds, more efficient execution, and enhanced ray tracing and AI capabilities. The FP16 to FP32 ratio also differs: the T1000 runs FP16 at 2:1 (half rate), while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER runs FP16 at 1:1 (full rate), meaning it does not lose performance on half-precision workloads.

The T1000 is part of the Quadro Turing generation (Tx000), with its predecessor being Quadro Volta and its successor Workstation Ampere. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is part of the GeForce 40 series, with its predecessor being GeForce 30 and its successor GeForce 50. The release dates are also far apart: the T1000 was released in May 2021, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER was released in January 2024. Both are now end-of-life products.

The Verdict

For any task that involves actual GPU compute, rendering, or gaming, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the only sensible choice. Its FP32 performance is 44.10 TFLOPS versus 2.500 TFLOPS for the T1000, a 17.6x advantage. Its memory bandwidth is 672.3 GB/s versus 160.0 GB/s, a 4.2x advantage. The presence of RT cores and tensor cores makes it suitable for modern ray-traced workloads and AI inference, which the T1000 cannot handle at all. The data is unambiguous: the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins 2 out of 2 head-to-head benchmarks, with deltas of -81.1% and -35%.

The T1000 is not a performance product. It is a display adapter with compute capability. Its 50 W TDP, single-slot design, and lack of power connectors make it ideal for a server or workstation that needs to drive multiple 4K displays (via its 4x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs) without adding heat or power draw. It also has a higher percentile rank (80th) and a higher average benchmark score (36,289) than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, but that is due to the limited benchmark set, not real performance.

Choose the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER if you need to render, simulate, train models, or play games. It is a high-end GPU with a launch MSRP of 799 USD. Choose the T1000 only if you need a low-profile, bus-powered card for basic display output in a constrained chassis. The suggested PSU difference (250 W vs 600 W) and physical size difference (single-slot 156 mm vs triple-slot 310 mm) are the deciding factors. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the superior product in every measurable performance metric, but the T1000 remains a viable niche product for specific low-power environments.
