NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a single benchmark entry for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, while the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server has no benchmark scores listed. This makes a direct numerical comparison of measured performance impossible. The RTX 5070 SUPER posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, which places it in the 18th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in that test are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M at 2664 (1% slower), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2662 (1.1% slower), the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2660 (1.1% slower), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2645 (1.7% slower). The RTX 5070 SUPER leads these four comparison points by margins ranging from 1% to 1.7%, which is a narrow spread that suggests the benchmark result sits at the low end of the overall performance spectrum.

For the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server, the database shows an average benchmark score of 0 and no nearest rivals. The absence of recorded measurements means the data cannot confirm any head-to-head performance advantage for either product. The RTX 5070 SUPER has one data point; the RTX PRO 4500 has none. The win tally in the database shows 0 wins for each side. Without matching benchmark results, any claim of superiority in specific tests would be unsupported. The only objective statement the data allows is that the RTX 5070 SUPER has a measured 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result, while the RTX PRO 4500 does not have any recorded score.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 SUPER wins in the only category where data exists: recorded benchmark availability. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690 provides a concrete reference point, even if that score ranks in the 18th percentile. The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server, by contrast, has no benchmark entries, so it cannot claim any measured performance win in the database.

Beyond that single test, the use-case split must be inferred from specifications rather than measurements. The RTX 5070 SUPER is a GeForce 50-series product with display outputs: 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. That makes it suitable for systems requiring direct display connectivity. The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server lists no display outputs, indicating it is intended for headless server operation where rendering or compute tasks run without a connected monitor.

The RTX 5070 SUPER carries 18 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX PRO 4500 offers 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 800.3 GB/s bandwidth. The larger memory capacity and wider bus favor the RTX PRO 4500 for workloads that exceed the 18 GB footprint, such as large model inference or high-resolution batch processing. The RTX 5070 SUPER, with its lower memory capacity, fits scenarios where memory requirements stay within 18 GB and display output is necessary.

The RTX 5070 SUPER has a TDP of 275 W and a dual-slot cooler. The RTX PRO 4500 has a TDP of 165 W and a single-slot design. The lower power draw of the RTX PRO 4500 makes it the more thermally restrained option for dense server environments, while the RTX 5070 SUPER requires more cooling headroom. Both use a single 16-pin power connector, but the RTX PRO 4500 lists a suggested PSU of 450 W, whereas the RTX 5070 SUPER does not have a suggested PSU figure in the database.

Architecture Differences

Both GPUs use the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and are fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The chips differ: the RTX 5070 SUPER uses GB205, while the RTX PRO 4500 uses GB203. Transistor counts diverge significantly. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, yielding a density of 118.3M per mm². The RTX PRO 4500 has 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, with a density of 120.6M per mm². The RTX PRO 4500 packs roughly 46% more transistors into a die that is about 44% larger by area.

Clock speeds show a notable split. The RTX 5070 SUPER runs at a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz. The RTX PRO 4500 has a much lower base of 1215 MHz but a boost of 2415 MHz, which is only about 4% below the RTX 5070 SUPER's boost. The memory clocks also differ: the RTX 5070 SUPER runs GDDR7 at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective), while the RTX PRO 4500 runs at 1563 MHz (25 Gbps effective).

Compute resources favor the RTX PRO 4500 across the board. It has 10496 shading units versus 6400, 328 TMUs versus 200, 112 ROPs versus 80, 82 RT cores versus 50, and 328 tensor cores versus 200. The resulting fill rates and throughput numbers show the gap: pixel rate is 270.5 GPixel/s for the RTX PRO 4500 versus 201.0 GPixel/s for the RTX 5070 SUPER; texture rate is 792.1 GTexel/s versus 502.4 GTexel/s. FP32 and FP16 performance each measure 50.70 TFLOPS on the RTX PRO 4500, compared to 32.15 TFLOPS on the RTX 5070 SUPER. That is a 57.7% advantage in raw compute for the server card.

The RTX PRO 4500 belongs to the Server Blackwell (Bxx) generation, with a predecessor listed as Server Hopper and a successor as Server Rubin. The RTX 5070 SUPER is part of the GeForce 50 generation, with no predecessor or successor recorded. Both support the same API set: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Both use PCIe 5.0 x16 for the bus interface.

Physical dimensions differ slightly. The RTX 5070 SUPER measures 245 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The RTX PRO 4500 is longer at 267 mm, slightly shorter at 111 mm, and the same 40 mm width. The RTX PRO 4500 occupies a single slot, while the RTX 5070 SUPER needs two slots.

The Verdict

The data does not support a performance verdict because the RTX PRO 4500 has no recorded benchmark results. What the database does show is a clear functional split. The RTX 5070 SUPER is a client-side card with display outputs, a 275 W TDP, 18 GB of GDDR7, and a measured 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690. That score, at the 18th percentile, indicates modest standing in the overall GPU ranking, and its nearest rivals are all older or lower-end parts with scores within 1.7% of its result.

The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server is a compute-oriented product. It has no display outputs, a 165 W TDP, a single-slot cooler, and significantly higher compute resources: 50.70 TFLOPS FP32 versus 32.15 TFLOPS, 10496 shading units versus 6400, and 32 GB of memory versus 18 GB. Its 800.3 GB/s memory bandwidth and 256-bit bus also exceed the RTX 5070 SUPER's 672.0 GB/s and 192-bit bus. The transistor count of 45,600 million on a 378 mm² die reflects a larger, more powerful chip.

For a system that needs a monitor attached and general graphics output, the RTX 5070 SUPER is the only one of the two that offers that capability. For a headless server workload that prioritizes raw FP32/FP16 throughput, larger memory capacity, and lower power draw, the RTX PRO 4500 has the specification advantage in every compute-related category listed. The RTX PRO 4500 also lists a suggested PSU of 450 W, which is a concrete system planning detail, while the RTX 5070 SUPER does not provide that figure.

The percentile field places the RTX PRO 4500 at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, versus the 18th percentile for the RTX 5070 SUPER. However, since the RTX PRO 4500 has no benchmark score, that percentile appears in the database without a corresponding test result. The RTX 5070 SUPER has a real benchmark score but a lower percentile ranking.

The choice between these two products, based strictly on the recorded data, comes down to use case. The RTX 5070 SUPER serves as a display-capable graphics card with a single measured performance data point. The RTX PRO 4500 serves as a server compute card with superior specifications across memory, shading units, tensor cores, RT cores, and throughput, but no measured performance evidence in the database. Neither product has a launch MSRP listed, so no price-based guidance is available. The release dates show the RTX 5070 SUPER arriving on 2025-12-31, followed by the RTX PRO 4500 on 2026-03-16. Both are marked as Active in production status.
