Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti belongs to the GeForce 40-series, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using the AD104 chip. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses the TrueGPU architecture with the 7G106 chip from the 7G100 generation. These are fundamentally different designs from different manufacturers, with NVIDIA as the producer of the former and the manufacturer of the latter listed as unknown.

Manufacturing processes differ by one nanometer step. The RTX 4070 Ti is fabricated on a 5 nm TSMC process, while the LX MAX uses a 6 nm TSMC process. The RTX 4070 Ti packs 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². The LX MAX has no recorded transistor count or die size in the database, so density cannot be computed for it.

Shader resource allocation diverges significantly. The RTX 4070 Ti contains 7,680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs. The LX MAX has 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The RTX 4070 Ti carries 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores, while the LX MAX has no recorded RT or tensor core counts. This suggests the RTX 4070 Ti is designed for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI workloads, whereas the LX MAX's feature set for those tasks is unquantified.

Clock behavior differs in what is recorded. The RTX 4070 Ti has a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz. The LX MAX has no base or boost clock listed. Memory clocks show the RTX 4070 Ti at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective, and the LX MAX at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective. The higher memory clock on the LX MAX does not translate to higher bandwidth because of the GDDR6 versus GDDR6X difference.

API support shows close parity. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The RTX 4070 Ti supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3, a minor version difference. Display outputs also differ: the RTX 4070 Ti has 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the LX MAX has 4x DisplayPort 1.4a with no HDMI port.

Physical dimensions and production status separate the two as well. The RTX 4070 Ti measures 285 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 42 mm in width, and is marked end-of-life. The LX MAX is 248 mm long, 118 mm tall, and 48 mm wide, and remains active in production. The LX MAX is shorter but taller and thicker than the RTX 4070 Ti.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains direct benchmark measurements for the RTX 4070 Ti across multiple tests, while the LX MAX has no recorded benchmark scores. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the wins counters show zero for both cards. This means comparisons must rely on the RTX 4070 Ti's absolute scores and the LX MAX's architectural specifications rather than matched test results.

In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX 4070 Ti scores 5,024. This is a modern DirectX 12 workload that stresses ray tracing and mesh shading. Geekbench results show the RTX 4070 Ti at 176,953 in OpenCL and 213,808 in Vulkan, indicating strong compute performance across both API families. The Vulkan score exceeds the OpenCL score by roughly 21%, which suggests the driver and hardware combination favors Vulkan's lower overhead path.

PassMark results for the RTX 4070 Ti show a range of DirectX version performance. The DirectX 9 score is 352, DirectX 10 is 187, DirectX 11 is 288, and DirectX 12 is 116. The DirectX 12 score being lower than older API scores is consistent with the test's specific workload characteristics. The PassMark G3D score is 31,624, the G2D score is 1,200, and the GPU compute score is 18,396. The G3D score dominates the compute score, indicating this card prioritizes rasterization throughput over general compute in PassMark's suite.

The average benchmark score of 44,795 places the RTX 4070 Ti in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals bracket this score closely. The RTX 5090 Mobile averages 45,152, a 0.8% advantage. The Radeon Pro 5500 XT averages 45,384, 1.3% ahead. The RTX A6000 averages 44,075, which is 1.6% behind the RTX 4070 Ti. The Arc A730M averages 45,592, 1.7% ahead. This clustering within roughly two percentage points indicates the RTX 4070 Ti sits in a tightly contested performance band.

For the LX MAX, the absence of benchmark data means its rasterization and compute performance cannot be compared directly. The recorded specifications provide a basis for expected behavior. The LX MAX has a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s versus the RTX 4070 Ti's 208.8 GPixel/s, a difference of about 8%. The texture rate shows a larger gap: 384.0 GTexel/s for the LX MAX versus 626.4 GTexel/s for the RTX 4070 Ti, a 39% deficit.

FP32 performance favors the RTX 4070 Ti at 40.09 TFLOPS against 24.58 TFLOPS, a 63% advantage. FP16 flips the comparison: the LX MAX delivers 49.15 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, while the RTX 4070 Ti delivers 40.09 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The LX MAX leads FP16 by about 22%. This suggests the LX MAX has a more aggressive FP16 path, while the RTX 4070 Ti maintains equal throughput across FP32 and FP16.

Memory bandwidth separates the cards by 14%. The RTX 4070 Ti moves 504.2 GB/s, while the LX MAX manages 432.0 GB/s. Both use a 192-bit bus, so the bandwidth difference comes entirely from memory type and clock. The RTX 4070 Ti's GDDR6X at 21 Gbps effective outperforms the LX MAX's GDDR6 at 18 Gbps effective.

The Verdict

The data shows two cards with distinct positioning. The RTX 4070 Ti is a fully measured product with strong absolute scores and a clear percentile ranking. Its average score of 44,795 places it in the 84th percentile, and its nearest rivals all fall within 1.7% of its performance. The LX MAX has no benchmark scores in the database, so its real-world performance cannot be verified. Choosing between them requires weighing measured results against architectural specifications.

For rasterization-heavy workloads, the RTX 4070 Ti holds clear advantages in the recorded specifications. Its FP32 output of 40.09 TFLOPS is 63% higher than the LX MAX's 24.58 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s is 63% higher than 384.0 GTexel/s. Its pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s is about 8% higher than 192.0 GPixel/s. Memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s beats 432.0 GB/s by 14%. These are the metrics that drive traditional game rendering and compute kernels.

The LX MAX counters with a higher FP16 output of 49.15 TFLOPS versus 40.09 TFLOPS, a 22% advantage. This matters for workloads that use FP16 arithmetic, such as certain AI inference paths or mixed-precision compute. The LX MAX also has more ROPs at 96 versus 80, a 20% increase that could benefit certain fill-rate-bound scenarios, although its lower pixel rate indicates those extra ROPs do not translate into a higher overall pixel throughput. The LX MAX uses less power at 225 W versus 285 W and requires a 550 W PSU versus 600 W.

The RTX 4070 Ti offers hardware RT cores and tensor cores, features absent from the LX MAX's recorded specifications. This makes the RTX 4070 Ti the only one of the two with quantifiable ray tracing and tensor acceleration resources. The LX MAX does list DirectX 12 Ultimate support, which implies some level of modern feature coverage, but without RT core counts, its ray tracing capability remains unconfirmed.

The RTX 4070 Ti is end-of-life, while the LX MAX is active in production. The RTX 4070 Ti has a launch MSRP of 799 USD. The LX MAX has no recorded launch MSRP. The RTX 4070 Ti has a defined predecessor and successor in the GeForce 30 and GeForce 50 series, while the LX MAX has neither.

For users seeking a card with verified benchmark results, the RTX 4070 Ti is the only option with data. Its scores place it among capable competitors, and its feature set includes RT and tensor hardware. For users prioritizing raw FP16 throughput or lower power draw, the LX MAX's specifications make it a candidate, but the absence of measured performance leaves its actual behavior unknown. The database records no head-to-head results, and the wins counter shows zero for both, so any selection must rest on the available specification data and the RTX 4070 Ti's benchmark scores alone.
