NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single direct comparison between these two NVIDIA GPUs: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In that benchmark, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile records a score of 3013.5, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER records 2690. The RTX 5060 Mobile leads by 12% in this specific test, making it the outright winner in the only head-to-head measurement available.

The RTX 5070 SUPER’s score of 2690 places it at the 18th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in average score are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (2664, 1% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (2662, 1.1% behind), the Intel Arc Pro B50 (2660, 1.1% behind), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (2645, 1.7% behind). These are all considerably less powerful parts, which suggests the 5070 SUPER’s single recorded benchmark may not represent its full capability, but the data only reflects what was measured.

The RTX 5060 Mobile, by contrast, sits at the 67th percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score across ten tests is 22435, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (22549, 0.5% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (22729, 1.3% ahead), the AMD Radeon RX 5700 (22170, 1.2% behind), and the AMD Radeon RX 6700S (22154, 1.3% behind). The RTX 5060 Mobile is thus clustered tightly with mid-range desktop and mobile parts from the previous generation, while the RTX 5070 SUPER’s lone Steel Nomad result places it near entry-level hardware.

The 12% delta in Steel Nomad is the only direct numerical comparison the database permits. The RTX 5060 Mobile delivers a higher score in this DX12 workload, and that advantage is substantial enough to be meaningful. However, the RTX 5070 SUPER has only one benchmark entry, so its broader performance profile remains unmeasured in this dataset.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5060 Mobile wins the only shared benchmark, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, by 12%. That is the sole head-to-head victory recorded. Beyond that, the two GPUs have very different benchmark footprints.

The RTX 5060 Mobile has ten recorded benchmark scores. Its strongest results include a Geekbench OpenCL score of 96969, a Geekbench Vulkan score of 96451, a Passmark G3D score of 18852, and a Passmark GPU Compute score of 7607. It also posts 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 3013.5, Passmark DirectX 9 at 203, Passmark DirectX 11 at 168, Passmark DirectX 10 at 119, Passmark DirectX 12 at 87, and Passmark G2D at 876. The average across all ten is 22435, and the 67th percentile ranking indicates it outperforms the majority of GPUs in the database.

The RTX 5070 SUPER has only one benchmark score: 2690 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. Its average benchmark score is therefore also 2690, and its percentile ranking is 18. Since no other tests were recorded, the database cannot show where the 5070 SUPER might win in compute, rasterization, or API-specific workloads. The only conclusion supported by the data is that the RTX 5060 Mobile wins the one test both entries share.

From a specification standpoint, the RTX 5070 SUPER has a larger memory pool (18 GB vs 8 GB), a wider memory bus (192 bit vs 128 bit), and significantly higher memory bandwidth (672.0 GB/s vs 384.0 GB/s). It also has roughly double the shading units (6400 vs 3328), TMUs (200 vs 104), ROPs (80 vs 48), RT cores (50 vs 26), and tensor cores (200 vs 104). Its pixel rate (201.0 GPixel/s) and texture rate (502.4 GTexel/s) are far above the RTX 5060 Mobile’s 69.84 GPixel/s and 151.3 GTexel/s. In FP32 compute, the 5070 SUPER reaches 32.15 TFLOPS versus 9.684 TFLOPS. These figures suggest the 5070 SUPER should dominate in raw throughput, but the only measured benchmark does not reflect that, so the database cannot confirm it.

Architecture Differences

Both GPUs use the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and are manufactured by NVIDIA on a 5 nm TSMC process. The core designs differ, however. The RTX 5060 Mobile uses the GB206 chip, while the RTX 5070 SUPER uses the GB205 chip. The GB206 measures 181 mm² with 21,900 million transistors and a transistor density of 121.0M per mm². The GB205 is larger at 263 mm² with 31,100 million transistors and a slightly lower density of 118.3M per mm².

Clock speeds diverge sharply. The RTX 5060 Mobile has a base clock of 952 MHz and a boost clock of 1455 MHz. The RTX 5070 SUPER runs at a base of 2325 MHz and a boost of 2512 MHz. The 5070 SUPER’s clocks are more than 70% higher at base and over 70% higher at boost, though the RTX 5060 Mobile’s mobile positioning may explain the lower frequencies.

Memory configurations differ in capacity, bus width, and speed. The RTX 5060 Mobile uses 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, with memory clocked at 1500 MHz (24 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s. The RTX 5070 SUPER uses 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s.

Shader resources favor the RTX 5070 SUPER across every category: 6400 shading units vs 3328, 200 TMUs vs 104, 80 ROPs vs 48, 50 RT cores vs 26, and 200 tensor cores vs 104. Compute output follows the same pattern, with the 5070 SUPER delivering 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 (1:1) versus the 5060 Mobile’s 9.684 TFLOPS in each.

Power and physical design also differ. The RTX 5060 Mobile is rated at 45 W TDP, uses an IGP slot width, and requires no power connectors. The RTX 5070 SUPER is rated at 275 W TDP, uses a dual-slot design, and requires a single 16-pin power connector. The 5070 SUPER measures 245 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 40 mm in width; the 5060 Mobile has no recorded dimensions.

Both support PCIe 5.0 x16 and share the same API profile: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX 5070 SUPER has fixed display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b), while the RTX 5060 Mobile’s outputs are listed as portable device dependent.

The Verdict

The data presents a split picture. In the only benchmark both GPUs share, the RTX 5060 Mobile wins by 12%, and its broader benchmark suite places it at the 67th percentile with an average score of 22435. The RTX 5070 SUPER, with a single Steel Nomad score of 2690, sits at the 18th percentile, far behind the 5060 Mobile in measured performance.

However, the specification sheet tells a different story. The RTX 5070 SUPER has more than double the shading units, TMUs, ROPs, RT cores, and tensor cores, plus more than double the FP32 throughput (32.15 TFLOPS vs 9.684 TFLOPS), more memory (18 GB vs 8 GB), and nearly double the bandwidth (672.0 GB/s vs 384.0 GB/s). It also runs at much higher clocks (2512 MHz boost vs 1455 MHz boost). These specs should translate into higher performance in most workloads, yet the recorded Steel Nomad result contradicts that expectation.

The discrepancy likely stems from the benchmark footprint. The RTX 5060 Mobile has ten tests in the database, giving a robust average. The RTX 5070 SUPER has one. Its 18th percentile ranking and its nearest rivals (GT 1030, GT 440) are likely artifacts of an incomplete measurement set, not a true reflection of its capability. The database cannot assert that the 5070 SUPER is a weak GPU; it can only state that its single recorded score is low.

For users relying strictly on measured data, the RTX 5060 Mobile is the safer choice, as it shows consistent mid-range performance across multiple tests. For users prioritizing specifications, the RTX 5070 SUPER offers far higher theoretical throughput, more memory, and faster memory bandwidth, but the database has no measurements to back those specs in practice.
