Q: Which card has more shading units and texture mapping units?

A: The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 8,448 shading units and 264 TMUs. The LX MAX has 6,144 shading units and 192 TMUs. Both cards have 96 ROPs.

# Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is built on Ada Lovelace architecture, the same architecture used across the GeForce 40-series. It uses the AD103 chip fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. In contrast, the Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses a "TrueGPU" architecture with the 7G106 chip, fabricated on a 6 nm process, also at TSMC, as part of the 7G100 generation.

The transistor counts tell a dramatic story. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER packs 45,900 million transistors into a 379 mm² die, achieving a density of 121.1M per mm². The LX MAX's transistor count and die size are both unknown, which complicates any efficiency analysis. The process node difference (5 nm vs 6 nm) suggests the NVIDIA part uses a more advanced manufacturing process, but without the LX MAX's die details, the full picture remains incomplete.

Compute resources differ substantially. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER contains 8,448 shading units, 264 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The LX MAX has 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and the same 96 ROPs. The NVIDIA card also includes 66 dedicated RT cores and 264 tensor cores, features that support hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI workloads. The LX MAX lists no RT cores or tensor cores in the database, indicating a different approach to those workloads or a lack of dedicated hardware for them.

Clock speeds are another differentiator, though only partially documented. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2340 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz. The LX MAX has no base or boost clock listed, which leaves its actual operating frequencies undocumented. Memory clocks do appear: the NVIDIA card runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective data rate, while the LX MAX runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective.

The pixel and texture rates reflect the underlying differences. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER produces 250.6 GPixel/s and 689.0 GTexel/s. The LX MAX produces 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s. In FP32 compute, the NVIDIA card outputs 44.10 TFLOPS, while the LX MAX outputs 24.58 TFLOPS. However, in FP16, the LX MAX outputs 49.15 TFLOPS, exceeding the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 44.10 TFLOPS, because the Lisuan architecture uses a 2:1 ratio for FP16 while the NVIDIA architecture uses a 1:1 ratio.

API support shows both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3. Both use PCIe 4.0 x16 interfaces.

# The Verdict

The data presents an asymmetric comparison. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a complete set of benchmark scores, a documented production history, and a clear position in the GPU landscape. The LX MAX has no recorded benchmarks whatsoever, which makes direct performance judgments impossible from measured results alone.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER sits in the 76th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 31,087. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 at 31,206 (0.4% ahead), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q at 31,220 (0.4% ahead), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell at 31,532 (1.4% ahead), and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX at 31,676 (1.9% ahead). This places the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in a tight cluster where small score differences separate it from its closest competitors.

For the LX MAX, the database shows no benchmark results and no nearest rivals. Its 50th percentile ranking appears to derive from specification estimates rather than measured performance. Users seeking a card with proven, documented performance across multiple test suites would find the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER the safer choice based on the available evidence.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER offers more memory (16 GB vs 12 GB), higher bandwidth (672.3 GB/s vs 432.0 GB/s), more shading units (8,448 vs 6,144), more TMUs (264 vs 192), and higher pixel and texture rates. It also includes RT cores and tensor cores, which the LX MAX lacks entirely. The LX MAX counters with a lower TDP (225 W vs 285 W), a dual-slot form factor instead of triple-slot, a smaller physical footprint (248 mm length vs 310 mm), and higher FP16 output (49.15 TFLOPS vs 44.10 TFLOPS).

# Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two cards, and the LX MAX has no recorded benchmark scores at all. This means a direct numerical comparison relies entirely on the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's documented results and the LX MAX's specification-derived estimates.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER shows strong results across multiple test suites. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 5,569. Geekbench OpenCL returns 199,267, and Geekbench Vulkan returns 53,683. Passmark results include 181 in DirectX 10, 278 in DirectX 11, 119 in DirectX 12, 360 in DirectX 9, 1,225 in G2D, 31,811 in G3D, and 18,372 in GPU Compute.

The LX MAX has no comparable numbers, leaving its performance profile undefined. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score of 31,087 places it at the 76th percentile of all GPUs, a position derived from actual measured results across multiple test suites.

The nearest rival data for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER shows how tightly clustered performance is at this level. The Quadro M5000 averages 31,206, just 0.4% ahead. The GRID M60-1Q averages 31,220, also 0.4% ahead. The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell averages 31,532, which is 1.4% ahead, and the TITAN RTX averages 31,676, 1.9% ahead. These margins are small, indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER competes in a crowded field where benchmark scores differ by only a few percentage points.

# Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins decisively in several categories based on the recorded data. It offers more memory capacity (16 GB vs 12 GB), higher memory bandwidth (672.3 GB/s vs 432.0 GB/s), and a wider memory bus (256 bit vs 192 bit). Its shading unit count is 37.5% higher (8,448 vs 6,144), and its TMU count is also 37.5% higher (264 vs 192). Pixel rate exceeds the LX MAX by 30.5% (250.6 GPixel/s vs 192.0 GPixel/s), and texture rate exceeds it by 79.4% (689.0 GTexel/s vs 384.0 GTexel/s). FP32 compute is 79.4% higher (44.10 TFLOPS vs 24.58 TFLOPS). The NVIDIA card brings dedicated RT cores and tensor cores, which the LX MAX does not list, making it the stronger choice for ray tracing and AI-accelerated workloads.

The LX MAX wins in a smaller set of categories. Its FP16 output of 49.15 TFLOPS exceeds the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 44.10 TFLOPS, which matters for workloads that leverage FP16 compute with a 2:1 ratio. It consumes less power, with a TDP of 225 W versus 285 W, and it requires a smaller suggested PSU (550 W vs 600 W). Its physical footprint is considerably more compact: 248 mm long versus 310 mm, 118 mm tall versus 140 mm, and 48 mm wide versus 61 mm. It occupies only two slots instead of three, which improves compatibility with smaller cases. The LX MAX also lists four DisplayPort outputs versus the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's one HDMI and three DisplayPort configuration, which may favor multi-display setups using DisplayPort exclusively. Its production status is active, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is end-of-life.

The absence of benchmark data for the LX MAX means its real-world performance remains unverified. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's measured results across 3DMark, Geekbench, and Passmark provide concrete evidence of its capabilities. The specification comparison shows the NVIDIA card leading in most raw compute metrics, while the Lisuan Tech card offers advantages in efficiency, size, and FP16 throughput.
