NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct comparison available in the database is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In this workload, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER scores 2690 points, while the NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell scores 2374.5 points. The GeForce card wins with a 13.3% delta, a substantial margin that indicates a clear performance advantage in this synthetic DirectX 12 scenario.

Looking at the broader benchmark profile, the RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell shows a much richer dataset across multiple test suites. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 106087 and Vulkan score of 113865 demonstrate strong compute and graphics API performance. The PassMark suite shows a G3D score of 20049, a GPU compute score of 8396, and legacy DirectX results: 241 in DirectX 9, 174 in DirectX 11, 122 in DirectX 10, and 80 in DirectX 12. The G2D score of 1303 rounds out the 2D performance picture.

When comparing the two cards via their nearest rivals, the positioning differs sharply. The RTX 5070 SUPER sits at the 18th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 2690. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M at 2664 (1% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2662 (1.1% ahead), the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2660 (1.1% ahead), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2645 (1.7% ahead). These deltas are tiny, meaning the RTX 5070 SUPER is clustered tightly with much older and lower-end parts in this particular test.

The RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell, by contrast, ranks at the 70th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25269. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6700M at 25633 (1.4% behind the RTX PRO), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700 at 25726 (1.8% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile at 25740 (1.8% behind), and the NVIDIA RTX A5000 Mobile at 24763 (2% ahead of the RTX PRO). These are much closer comparators in overall performance, placing the RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell in a far higher performance tier than the GeForce card when all benchmarks are averaged.

The discrepancy between the single 3DMark score for the RTX 5070 SUPER and its overall percentile suggests that the GeForce card's database entry is dominated by that one test, whereas the RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell benefits from a wider range of workloads that push its average upward. The 13.3% win for the GeForce in Steel Nomad is real, but it does not translate to overall superiority in the database's aggregate metrics.

The Verdict

The data presents two very different products. The RTX 5070 SUPER wins the only head-to-head benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, with a 13.3% margin. Its score of 2690 versus 2374.5 is a clear, direct victory in that specific test. However, the RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell holds a dramatically higher overall percentile rank: 70th versus 18th. The average benchmark score of 25269 for the RTX PRO dwarfs the 2690 average for the GeForce card. This is because the RTX PRO's average includes multiple diverse workloads, including compute-heavy Geekbench tests and a full PassMark suite, whereas the GeForce card's average reflects only the single Steel Nomad result.

From a pure performance-tier standpoint, the RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell belongs alongside mobile GPUs like the RTX 3080 Ti Mobile and desktop workstation cards like the Radeon Pro W5700. The RTX 5070 SUPER, in its recorded data, is grouped with the GT 1030 and GT 440, which are entry-level parts from previous generations. That grouping is a direct consequence of the limited benchmark coverage for the GeForce card, but it is what the database shows.

A user relying strictly on the recorded measurements would conclude that the RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell delivers a far more consistent and higher overall performance profile across many APIs and test types. The GeForce card offers a single-point win in a modern DirectX 12 test, but no other data exists to confirm broader superiority. The verdict is nuanced: the RTX 5070 SUPER is faster in Steel Nomad, but the RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell is the more comprehensively performant card according to the full dataset.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 SUPER wins in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark. This test is a demanding DirectX 12 workload that stresses contemporary rendering paths. The 13.3% lead indicates that the GeForce architecture, with its higher clock speeds and larger memory bus, handles this specific scenario better. The card's boost clock of 2512 MHz, compared to 1957 MHz for the RTX PRO, and its 672.0 GB/s memory bandwidth versus 288.0 GB/s, are likely contributing factors to this win.

The RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell wins across the breadth of the benchmark suite. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 106087 and Vulkan score of 113865 show strong general-purpose compute and cross-vendor graphics API performance. In PassMark, the G3D score of 20049 and GPU compute score of 8396 indicate solid rasterization and compute throughput. Even the legacy DirectX 9 score of 241 and DirectX 11 score of 174 show that the RTX PRO handles older APIs without collapsing, which is relevant for compatibility testing and legacy software validation.

The RTX PRO also wins on efficiency metrics embedded in the data. Its TDP is 70 W with no power connectors required, while the RTX 5070 SUPER draws 275 W and needs a 16-pin connector. The RTX PRO's suggested PSU is 250 W, and it runs on a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface, while the GeForce card uses PCIe 5.0 x16. These differences do not show up as benchmark scores, but they inform deployment scenarios where power delivery and system integration matter.

In terms of physical footprint, the RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell is smaller: 167 mm in length, 69 mm in height, and 20 mm in width. The RTX 5070 SUPER measures 245 mm by 115 mm by 40 mm. The RTX PRO's compact size and lower power draw make it suitable for space-constrained systems, while the GeForce card requires more room and a more robust power delivery setup.

Architecture Differences

Both cards use the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but they implement it with different chips. The GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the GB205 chip with 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². The RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell uses the GB206 chip with 21,900 million transistors on a 181 mm² die, yielding a higher transistor density of 121.0M per mm².

The compute configurations diverge significantly. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 6400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines. It includes 50 RT cores and 200 tensor cores. The RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell has 4352 shading units, 136 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, with 34 RT cores and 136 tensor cores. These counts directly affect the fill rates: the GeForce card delivers 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 502.4 GTexel/s texture rate, while the RTX PRO delivers 93.94 GPixel/s and 266.2 GTexel/s.

Clock speeds also differ. The RTX 5070 SUPER has a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz. The RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell has a much lower base clock of 982 MHz but boosts to 1957 MHz. The memory clocks differ as well: 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) for the GeForce card versus 1125 MHz (18 Gbps effective) for the RTX PRO. These clock and configuration differences produce FP32 performance of 32.15 TFLOPS for the RTX 5070 SUPER and 17.03 TFLOPS for the RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell, with both cards offering 1:1 FP16 performance at the same figures.

The memory subsystems are built on GDDR7 in both cases, but with different capacities and buses. The GeForce card has 18 GB on a 192-bit interface, while the RTX PRO has 16 GB on a 128-bit interface. Bandwidth follows accordingly: 672.0 GB/s versus 288.0 GB/s. The bus interfaces differ, with the RTX 5070 SUPER using PCIe 5.0 x16 and the RTX PRO using PCIe 5.0 x8.

Display outputs are another distinction. The RTX 5070 SUPER provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. The RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell offers 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1b. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The physical dimensions reflect their different roles: the GeForce card is 245 mm long, 115 mm tall, and 40 mm wide, while the RTX PRO is 167 mm long, 69 mm tall, and 20 mm wide. Both are dual-slot cards. The RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell lists its predecessor as Workstation Ada, while the GeForce card has no listed predecessor. The RTX PRO was released earlier, with a production status of Active for both.
