NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER vs NVIDIA RTX 2000 Mobile Ada Generation Comparison

The Verdict

The data shows two NVIDIA GPUs aimed at completely different segments, and the choice depends entirely on the target system. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is a high-power desktop graphics card built for maximum rendering throughput. The recorded benchmark places it in the 18th percentile of all GPUs in the database, with an average score of 2690 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030, the Intel Arc Pro B50, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440, all of which score within 1.7% of it. This indicates the RTX 5070 SUPER is a strong performer in its recorded test, outpacing those older or entry-level parts by a narrow but consistent margin.

The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Mobile Ada Generation is a low-power mobile workstation GPU. It has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, which means its performance cannot be directly compared to the RTX 5070 SUPER through measured results. It holds a 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs, but with an average benchmark score of zero, this percentile is based on its specifications and classification rather than actual test data. The absence of benchmarks and nearest rivals means the database provides no direct performance comparison between these two cards. For a user deciding between them, the RTX 5070 SUPER is the clear choice for any desktop build where the measured 3DMark score matters. The RTX 2000 Mobile Ada Generation is the only option for a portable, power-constrained system, but its actual performance level remains unquantified in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs belong to different NVIDIA architectures and target different market segments. The RTX 5070 SUPER uses the GB205 chip built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It packs 31,100 million transistors onto a 263 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². The RTX 2000 Mobile Ada Generation uses the AD107 chip on Ada Lovelace architecture, also on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but with 18,900 million transistors on a smaller 159 mm² die, giving a slightly higher density of 118.9M per mm². Both use the same foundry and process node, but the RTX 5070 SUPER has far more silicon and transistors.

The RTX 5070 SUPER is a GeForce 50-series part, while the RTX 2000 Mobile Ada Generation is listed under the GeForce 20-series classification, though its generation field reads "Ada-MW". The RTX 2000 Mobile has a predecessor in Ampere-MW and a successor in Blackwell-MW, confirming its mobile workstation lineage. The RTX 5070 SUPER has no predecessor or successor listed. The RTX 5070 SUPER uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, while the RTX 2000 Mobile uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The desktop card requires a 1x 16-pin power connector and a Dual-slot cooler, whereas the mobile card is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors, designed to be soldered onto a laptop board.

Feature support is identical in terms of API compatibility. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The core architecture differs significantly. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 6400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, 80 ROPs, 50 ray tracing cores, and 200 tensor cores. The RTX 2000 Mobile has 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 24 ray tracing cores, and 96 tensor cores. The desktop card has roughly double the compute resources across every category. The RTX 5070 SUPER also has a much higher power envelope at 275 W TDP versus 50 W for the mobile part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the RTX 5070 SUPER and the RTX 2000 Mobile Ada Generation. The only recorded benchmark for the RTX 5070 SUPER is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, where it scored 2690. This score places it in the 18th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in that test are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M with an average score of 2664 (a 1% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2662 (1.1% delta), the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2660 (1.1% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2645 (1.7% delta). These results show the RTX 5070 SUPER leads all four comparable parts, but only by small margins ranging from 1% to 1.7%. The RTX 2000 Mobile has no recorded benchmarks, no average score, and no nearest rivals, so a direct numerical comparison is impossible from the available data.

The lack of benchmark data for the RTX 2000 Mobile means the database cannot confirm any wins for either card. The wins count for both is zero. The RTX 5070 SUPER's measured performance is the only quantifiable data point, and it indicates a functional desktop GPU that outperforms a set of older or lower-tier cards by a small but consistent amount. The RTX 2000 Mobile's performance remains entirely unverified in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 SUPER wins in every category where the database has recorded data. It has a measured 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, which is a verified performance result. It offers 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 50 RT cores, and 200 tensor cores, which is roughly double the compute resources of the mobile part. Its memory subsystem is substantially larger, with 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus delivering 672.0 GB/s, compared to the mobile card's 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus at 256.0 GB/s. Its pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 502.4 GTexel/s are far above the mobile card's 101.5 GPixel/s and 203.0 GTexel/s. Its FP32 compute of 32.15 TFLOPS is nearly two and a half times the mobile card's 12.99 TFLOPS. It uses the faster PCIe 5.0 x16 interface and supports 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, whereas the mobile card's display outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent". With a 275 W TDP and dual-slot cooler, it is built for sustained desktop performance.

The RTX 2000 Mobile Ada Generation wins in power efficiency and physical integration. Its 50 W TDP is a fraction of the desktop card's 275 W, and it requires no external power connectors, making it suitable for compact laptop designs. It is an IGP with no slot width, meaning it occupies no expansion slot. Its transistor density of 118.9M per mm² is marginally higher than the RTX 5070 SUPER's 118.3M per mm², indicating a slightly more efficient use of silicon area. It has a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, which is older but still capable. Its release date of 2023-03-20 means it has been on the market longer. Its 12.99 TFLOPS FP32 and 12.99 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1) performance, while lower than the desktop card, still represent a capable mobile workstation solution. The mobile card's 256.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8 GB memory are sufficient for its intended laptop form factor.
