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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data across all nine recorded tests is unambiguous: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins every head-to-head comparison against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile. The largest margin appears in the Passmark DirectX 11 test, where the Ti variant scores 237 versus 192, a delta of 23.4%. The smallest edge is in the DirectX 12 test, with the Ti card scoring 102 against 93, a 9.7% advantage. This consistent pattern indicates the Ti model is not merely faster in specific workloads but holds a structural lead across the board.

In compute-oriented workloads, the gap widens considerably. The Geekbench OpenCL result shows the Ti card at 143870, which is 17.7% ahead of the 122238 posted by the non-Ti model. The Vulkan test tells a similar story: 139213 versus 116960, representing a 19% lead for the Ti. These are significant deltas for two GPUs from the same generation and family, suggesting the Ti variant is designed for substantially heavier graphics and compute loads.

The Passmark suite reinforces this dominance. The G3D score, often considered a general gaming and 3D rendering indicator, shows the Ti at 24004 versus 20355, a 17.9% improvement. The GPU compute test, which measures raw parallel processing, shows the Ti at 10101 versus 8279, a 22% advantage. Even the 2D graphics test, typically less demanding, favors the Ti at 981 versus 896, a 9.5% edge. The DirectX 10 and DirectX 9 legacy tests also go to the Ti, with margins of 17.1% and 21% respectively.

The average benchmark score in the database places the Ti at 35435, while the non-Ti sits at 29928. The Ti holds an 80th percentile rank among all GPUs, whereas the non-Ti is at the 75th percentile. The Ti's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 with an average score of 35520, which is only 0.2% higher, and the AMD Radeon Pro Duo at 35860, which is 1.2% higher. The non-Ti model, by contrast, sits extremely close to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which averages 29945, a difference of only 0.1%. This places the non-Ti in direct competition with prior-generation desktop-class parts, while the Ti model competes with professional-grade workstation cards.

The wins tally is decisive: 9 wins for the Ti, 0 for the non-Ti. No single benchmark in the recorded data favors the smaller card. For users comparing these two mobile GPUs, the performance hierarchy is clear, but the magnitude of the difference varies by workload, with the largest gaps appearing in DirectX 11 and compute tests.

Architecture Differences

Both GPUs share the same foundational architecture: Blackwell 2.0, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. However, the silicon underneath is different. The Ti model uses the GB205 chip, while the non-Ti uses the GB206 chip. The die size reflects this distinction: the GB205 measures 263 mm², while the GB206 is smaller at 181 mm². Transistor counts follow suit, with the Ti carrying 31,100 million transistors versus 21,900 million on the non-Ti. Interestingly, the transistor density is slightly higher on the smaller chip: 121.0M per mm² for the GB206 versus 118.3M per mm² for the GB205.

The execution resources scale accordingly. The Ti model has 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation units. The non-Ti has 4608 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. This represents a reduction of roughly 22% in shading units and TMUs, but a 40% reduction in ROPs. The ray tracing cores follow a similar pattern: 46 on the Ti versus 36 on the non-Ti. Tensor cores, used for AI acceleration, number 184 on the Ti and 144 on the non-Ti.

Clock speeds show a nuanced picture. The Ti has a lower base clock at 847 MHz versus 907 MHz on the non-Ti, but a higher boost clock at 1447 MHz versus 1425 MHz. This suggests the Ti is designed to sustain higher performance under load despite a lower idle frequency. The memory subsystem diverges more sharply. The Ti uses 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. The non-Ti uses 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, producing 384.0 GB/s. That is a 75% bandwidth advantage for the Ti, which directly explains much of the performance gap in memory-intensive workloads.

The memory clock also differs: the Ti runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective, while the non-Ti runs at 1500 MHz with 24 Gbps effective. The power envelope reflects these differences: the Ti is rated at 60 W TDP, the non-Ti at 50 W. Both are integrated graphics processors (IGP) with no power connectors, and both use a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. The API support is identical: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The theoretical throughput numbers quantify the gap. The Ti achieves 17.04 TFLOPS in FP32 and FP16 (1:1), while the non-Ti achieves 13.13 TFLOPS in both. Pixel rate is 115.8 GPixel/s for the Ti versus 68.40 GPixel/s for the non-Ti. Texture rate is 266.2 GTexel/s versus 205.2 GTexel/s. The release dates differ by roughly six weeks: the Ti launched on 2025-02-28, while the non-Ti launched on 2025-04-14. Both are listed as successors to the GeForce 40 Mobile generation.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear conclusion: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the superior performer in every measured category. For users who prioritize raw graphics throughput, compute capability, or memory bandwidth, the Ti model is the only choice between these two. The 17.7% lead in OpenCL and 19% lead in Vulkan indicate that compute-heavy applications, such as rendering or machine learning inference, will see tangible benefits from the Ti. The 75% bandwidth advantage, driven by the wider 192-bit bus and faster 28 Gbps memory, makes the Ti particularly suited for high-resolution textures and large datasets.

The non-Ti model, however, is not a weak part. Its average benchmark score of 29928 places it within 0.1% of the desktop-class GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, a well-regarded part. Its 75th percentile ranking among all GPUs means it outpaces the majority of installed hardware. For users with moderate performance needs, or for laptops where the 10 W TDP difference matters for cooling and battery life, the non-Ti may be sufficient. The lower base clock of 907 MHz versus 847 MHz on the Ti could also translate to better efficiency at idle or light loads.

The decision hinges on workload severity. If the target application is competitive esports at lower settings, the non-Ti's 20355 G3D score is likely adequate. If the target is AAA gaming at high settings, or any form of GPU compute, the Ti's 24004 G3D score and 22% compute lead justify the additional power draw. The database also shows the Ti competing with professional cards like the Quadro GV100 and Radeon Pro Duo, indicating it belongs in a higher performance tier. The non-Ti, by contrast, trades blows with prior-generation desktop gaming cards.

Neither part has a launch MSRP listed in the database, so pricing cannot be a factor in this analysis. The recommendation is straightforward: for maximum performance, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile. For balanced efficiency with still-strong output, the RTX 5070 Mobile remains viable.
