Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark covers a single test: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The RTX 5000 Mobile Ada Generation scores 3596, while the RTX 5070 SUPER scores 2690. The mobile chip wins that test outright, with a 25.2% lead. The data shows the RTX 5000 Mobile is the stronger performer in this specific workload, which is a demanding DirectX 12 rasterization test.

For the RTX 5070 SUPER, the advantage lies in other measurable properties. It has 2 GB more memory (18 GB versus 16 GB), a faster memory type (GDDR7 versus GDDR6), and higher bandwidth (672.0 GB/s versus 576.0 GB/s). Its base and boost clocks are substantially higher, which can benefit latency-sensitive tasks. It also uses a newer PCIe interface (5.0 versus 4.0), which allows for faster data transfers with compatible systems.

For the RTX 5000 Mobile, the wins are structural. It has more shading units, more TMUs, more ROPs, more RT cores, and more tensor cores. Its FP32 compute is 41.15 TFLOPS against 32.15 TFLOPS, and its texture and pixel rates are higher. The 120 W power envelope is less than half of the RTX 5070 SUPER's 275 W, which makes it suitable for portable platforms. The mobile chip's IGP form factor means it does not require a dedicated slot or power connector, which is a key distinction for system integration.

The nearest rival data contextualizes both scores. The RTX 5070 SUPER sits at the 18th percentile among all GPUs, with its closest rivals being the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (2664 average, 1% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (2662 average, 1.1% ahead), the Intel Arc Pro B50 (2660 average, 1.1% ahead), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (2645 average, 1.7% ahead). The RTX 5000 Mobile sits at the 21st percentile, with rivals including the NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 (3594 average, 0.1% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 735M (3616 average, 0.6% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (3629 average, 0.9% behind), and the AMD Radeon HD 6770 (3649 average, 1.5% behind). These are tight groupings, meaning both GPUs are near the middle of the performance distribution for this test.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the RTX 5000 Mobile Ada Generation is the faster GPU in the recorded benchmark. Its 3596 score versus 2690 for the RTX 5070 SUPER is a decisive 25.2% margin. For any workload that resembles 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the mobile chip delivers more performance. The percentile data also favors the RTX 5000 Mobile, as it ranks at the 21st percentile versus the 18th percentile for the RTX 5070 SUPER.

The RTX 5070 SUPER, however, offers advantages that are not captured by the single benchmark. Its 18 GB of GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth exceeds the mobile chip's 16 GB of GDDR6 with 576.0 GB/s. For workloads that require large memory capacity or high bandwidth, such as certain content creation or AI inference tasks, the desktop card could be the better fit. Its higher clock speeds (2325 MHz base, 2512 MHz boost) and PCIe 5.0 interface also point toward a design optimized for raw responsiveness.

The RTX 5000 Mobile is the better choice for systems where power and space are constrained. Its 120 W TDP and IGP form factor allow it to be integrated into laptops or compact workstations without a discrete power connector. Its 41.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is a substantial amount of processing power for such a low power budget. The mobile chip also has more execution units across every category, which suggests it can handle highly parallel workloads efficiently.

The RTX 5070 SUPER is the better choice for desktop builds that need high memory bandwidth and capacity, along with modern display outputs (HDMI 2.1b and DisplayPort 2.1b). Its 275 W power draw requires a dual-slot cooler and a 16-pin connector, which are typical for desktop cards. The benchmark data does not show it winning any test, but its memory subsystem and clock speeds provide a different set of strengths.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only recorded head-to-head test is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The RTX 5000 Mobile scores 3596, and the RTX 5070 SUPER scores 2690. The delta is 25.2% in favor of the mobile chip. This is a substantial margin, placing the two GPUs in different performance tiers for this workload.

The RTX 5000 Mobile's lead likely stems from its 9728 shading units, which outnumber the RTX 5070 SUPER's 6400 by 52%. With 41.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute versus 32.15 TFLOPS, the mobile chip has a 28% raw compute advantage. The RTX 5000 Mobile also has 304 TMUs versus 200, and 112 ROPs versus 80. These structural advantages translate directly into higher pixel and texture throughput, as seen in the 236.9 GPixel/s and 643.0 GTexel/s rates versus 201.0 GPixel/s and 502.4 GTexel/s.

The RTX 5070 SUPER does close some gaps. Its 2512 MHz boost clock is 18.8% higher than the RTX 5000 Mobile's 2115 MHz. Its GDDR7 memory runs at 28 Gbps effective, which is faster than the mobile chip's 18 Gbps. The desktop card also has 18 GB of memory versus 16 GB. However, these advantages do not overcome the mobile chip's execution unit lead in the recorded test.

The nearest rival data for the RTX 5070 SUPER shows its score of 2690 is only 1% above the Quadro K1100M's 2664, and 1.7% above the GT 440's 2645. This places the RTX 5070 SUPER in a performance band where small differences separate it from older or lower-tier GPUs.
