NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data does not include any direct head-to-head benchmark results between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The `headToHeadBenchmarks` array is empty, meaning no shared test workloads were run across both products in the database. Consequently, the wins count for both items is zero. Direct score comparison must rely on the individual benchmark suites each product has completed.

The RTX 4090 Mobile has a substantial body of recorded measurements. Its average benchmark score across all tests is 43,667. The strongest result comes from Geekbench OpenCL, where it scores 180,831. In Vulkan, it records 170,774. The Passmark suite shows a G3D score of 27,212, a GPU compute score of 12,347, a G2D score of 984, and legacy DirectX results of 310 (DX9), 262 (DX11), 173 (DX10), and 107 (DX12). These figures place the mobile part at the 84th percentile among all GPUs in the database.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, has only one recorded benchmark: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, where it scores 6,269.5. Its average benchmark score is 6,270. This single test places it at the 36th percentile among all GPUs. The lack of overlapping test types means the two products cannot be compared on identical workloads. The RTX 4090 Mobile's scores are drawn from OpenCL, Vulkan, and Passmark, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no entries in those suites. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no scores in Geekbench or Passmark, and the RTX 4090 Mobile has no 3DMark Steel Nomad result.

The nearest rival data provides indirect context. The RTX 4090 Mobile's closest competitors include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (average score 43,301, delta 0.8%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43,268, delta 0.9%), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43,262, delta 0.9%), and the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (44,075, delta -0.9%). The RTX 4090 Mobile is essentially tied with these parts, sitting within one percent of each. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (average score 6,270, delta 0%), the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6,282, delta -0.2%), the AMD FirePro W600 (6,223, delta 0.8%), and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6,327, delta -0.9%). The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is also within one percent of its closest rivals.

The percentile gap is notable. The RTX 4090 Mobile sits at the 84th percentile, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile. This indicates that, across the entire database of GPUs, the older mobile part ranks far higher than the newer desktop part. However, this is not a direct comparison because the percentile is based on different benchmark sets. The RTX 4090 Mobile's average score of 43,667 is roughly seven times higher than the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average of 6,270. That difference stems from the divergent workloads recorded, not necessarily from raw performance parity. The database does not support a clean apples-to-apples judgment between these two specific SKUs.

The Verdict

From the recorded data alone, the RTX 4090 Mobile is the higher-ranked product. Its 84th percentile standing versus the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 36th percentile is a clear separation. The mobile part also has a much larger body of benchmark evidence, with nine separate scores across multiple APIs, while the desktop part has only one. This gives the RTX 4090 Mobile a more complete profile in the database.

The average benchmark score favors the RTX 4090 Mobile decisively. At 43,667, it is approximately 596% higher than the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 6,270. However, this comparison is misleading due to the different test suites. The RTX 4090 Mobile's scores come from OpenCL, Vulkan, and Passmark, which are compute-heavy and legacy DirectX workloads. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's score comes from 3DMark Steel Nomad, a modern DX12 test. No single workload appears in both products' records, so the average scores cannot be treated as directly comparable.

The nearest rival data reinforces the separation. The RTX 4090 Mobile competes with professional workstation GPUs like the RTX A6000 and Quadro M6000, all within roughly one percent of each other. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER competes with entry-level and older parts like the Quadro K620 and Radeon R7 M350, also within one percent. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's closest rival is the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 with a delta of 0%, meaning the two are statistically identical in the database.

For a user deciding between these two, the data suggests the RTX 4090 Mobile is the stronger performer across a wider range of recorded tests. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has only a single data point, which limits confidence in its overall standing. The mobile part also has a higher percentile rank, indicating it outperforms a larger share of the database. The desktop part, despite being newer, has not demonstrated comparable benchmark coverage in the recorded data. The RTX 4090 Mobile is the safer choice based on the available evidence, but the lack of a shared test means this verdict carries uncertainty.

Architecture Differences

The RTX 4090 Mobile uses the AD103 chip with the Ada Lovelace architecture. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture. Both are manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process node. The transistor counts are nearly identical: 45,900 million for the mobile part and 45,600 million for the desktop part. Die sizes are also close, with the RTX 4090 Mobile at 379 mm² and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER at 378 mm². Transistor density is 121.1M per mm² for the mobile part and 120.6M per mm² for the desktop part.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX 4090 Mobile belongs to the GeForce 40 Mobile generation, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER belongs to the GeForce 50 generation. The mobile part's predecessor is the GeForce 30 Mobile, and its successor is the GeForce 50 Mobile. The desktop part has no recorded predecessor or successor.

The shading unit counts differ. The RTX 4090 Mobile has 9,728 shading units, 304 TMUs, and 112 ROPs. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. Ray tracing cores are 76 on the mobile part versus 70 on the desktop part. Tensor cores are 304 on the mobile part versus 280 on the desktop part. The mobile part has more of every processing resource, despite being older.

The pixel rate and texture rate favor the desktop part. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers 235.4 GPixel/s and 686.6 GTexel/s. The RTX 4090 Mobile delivers 189.8 GPixel/s and 515.3 GTexel/s. The desktop part is faster at these output rates, likely due to higher clock speeds. FP32 and FP16 throughput also favor the desktop part: 43.94 TFLOPS versus 32.98 TFLOPS. Both products run FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32.

Memory technology differs. The RTX 4090 Mobile uses GDDR6, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses GDDR7. Both have 16 GB capacity and a 256-bit bus width. The memory bandwidth is 576.0 GB/s on the mobile part and 896.0 GB/s on the desktop part. The desktop part has a significant bandwidth advantage, driven by the faster GDDR7 memory.

Specification Differences

The clock speeds are substantially different. The RTX 4090 Mobile has a base clock of 1335 MHz and a boost clock of 1695 MHz. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz. The desktop part runs over 700 MHz higher at base and over 750 MHz higher at boost. This explains the higher pixel and texture rates despite fewer processing units.

Memory clocks also differ. The RTX 4090 Mobile runs memory at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER runs memory at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed. The higher effective speed on the desktop part produces the 896.0 GB/s bandwidth figure.

The thermal design power is a major differentiator. The RTX 4090 Mobile is rated at 120 W, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is rated at 350 W. This reflects the mobile form factor's power constraints. The slot width confirms this: the mobile part is listed as IGP (integrated graphics processor, typically soldered), while the desktop part is dual-slot. The power connectors are likewise different: the mobile part has none, while the desktop part uses a single 16-pin connector.

The bus interface differs. The RTX 4090 Mobile uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs are portable device dependent on the mobile part, while the desktop part has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

Physical dimensions are only recorded for the desktop part: 304 mm length, 137 mm height, and 48 mm width. The mobile part has no recorded dimensions. The RTX 4090 Mobile was released on January 2, 2023. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a release date of December 31, 2025. The desktop part has a launch MSRP of 749 USD.
