NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile vs NVIDIA Quadro GV100 Comparison

The data places the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile in a near-identical overall position, with average benchmark scores of 35520 and 35435 respectively. That 0.2% gap in favor of the older Quadro is negligible, but the distribution of wins tells a much more interesting story. The GV100 takes the compute-oriented and legacy API tests, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile dominates the modern DirectX and 2D workloads. This is not a case of one card being simply faster; it's a generational clash where the strengths are sharply divided by workload type.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The most significant win for the Quadro GV100 comes in Geekbench OpenCL, where it scores 150004 against 143870 for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile. That is a 4.3% advantage, and it is the largest delta in either direction across all nine tests. The GV100 also edges out the newer card in Geekbench Vulkan, 139526 to 139213, though that 0.2% margin is effectively a tie. These two wins suggest the older Volta architecture retains a slight edge in raw compute throughput, which aligns with its higher FP16 output of 33.32 TFLOPS (2:1) compared to the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 17.04 TFLOPS (1:1).

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile answers with a broad sweep of the Passmark suite. The most dramatic difference is in DirectX 11, where it scores 237 against 168 for the GV100, a 29.1% advantage. DirectX 12 shows a 17.6% lead (102 vs 84), and DirectX 9 a 20.1% lead (259 vs 207). Even in DirectX 10, where the gap is smallest among the API tests, the mobile card leads by 7.3% (151 vs 140). The pattern is clear: the newer Blackwell architecture is substantially more efficient at executing the feature sets of modern graphics APIs.

Outside of raw API performance, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins the Passmark G3D test decisively, 24004 to 19650, an 18.1% margin. This is the most representative gaming-style benchmark in the set, and the result indicates that the mobile card is far better suited to real-time rendering workloads. The GV100's 208.3 GPixel/s pixel rate and 520.6 GTexel/s texture rate are higher on paper, but the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 115.8 GPixel/s and 266.2 GTexel/s translate into better actual performance in this test, likely due to architectural improvements in the Blackwell 2.0 design.

The remaining wins for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile are in Passmark GPU Compute (10101 vs 9069, a 10.2% lead) and Passmark G2D (981 vs 836, a 14.8% lead). The compute result is particularly notable because it contradicts the Geekbench OpenCL outcome, suggesting that the two cards have different optimization profiles depending on the workload. The G2D result indicates that the mobile card handles basic 2D operations more responsively, which is relevant for desktop and productivity tasks.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear choice for different users. If the workload is primarily modern gaming or DirectX-based applications, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the superior pick. It wins the G3D test by 18.1% and leads every DirectX benchmark by margins ranging from 7.3% to 29.1%. Its lower TDP of 60 W also makes it practical for mobile platforms, though the data cannot speak to thermal performance.

If the workload involves legacy compute APIs or Vulkan, the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 is the safer bet. It wins Geekbench OpenCL by 4.3% and Geekbench Vulkan by 0.2%. Its 32 GB of HBM2 memory provides a massive capacity advantage over the 12 GB GDDR7 on the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, which could be decisive for large datasets that exceed the mobile card's memory pool. The GV100 also holds a slight overall average score advantage, though the 0.2% delta is within noise.

For a builder focused on raw compute throughput per watt, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 17.04 TFLOPS FP32 at 60 W is a stark contrast to the GV100's 16.66 TFLOPS at 250 W. The mobile card delivers comparable or better FP32 performance at a quarter of the power draw. However, the GV100's FP16 output of 33.32 TFLOPS (2:1) is double that of the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 17.04 TFLOPS (1:1), making the Quadro the better choice for FP16-heavy compute tasks.

Specification Differences

The two cards diverge on nearly every specification field. The Quadro GV100 uses a 12 nm process node, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses a 5 nm node. Transistor counts are 21,100 million for the GV100 and 31,100 million for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, with die sizes of 815 mm² and 263 mm² respectively. The transistor density difference is stark: 25.9M / mm² for the Quadro versus 118.3M / mm² for the mobile card.

Clock speeds differ significantly. The GV100 has a base clock of 1132 MHz and boost of 1627 MHz, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has a base of 847 MHz and boost of 1447 MHz. Memory clocks are 848 MHz (1696 Mbps effective) for the Quadro versus 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) for the mobile card. The GV100 has 5120 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 128 ROPs, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, and 80 ROPs.

The GV100 has 640 tensor cores and no RT cores, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has 184 tensor cores and 46 RT cores. The bus interface is PCIe 3.0 x16 for the Quadro and PCIe 5.0 x16 for the mobile card. The GV100 is a dual-slot card measuring 267 mm in length and 111 mm in height, with 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is an IGP form factor with no listed dimensions and portable-device-dependent display outputs.

Architecture Differences

The Quadro GV100 is built on the Volta architecture, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses Blackwell 2.0. This is a generational leap of two major architecture families. The GV100's process node is 12 nm, whereas the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is on 5 nm, which explains the dramatic difference in transistor density (25.9M / mm² vs 118.3M / mm²). The GV100 has a larger die at 815 mm² but fewer transistors (21,100 million) than the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 263 mm² die with 31,100 million transistors.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The GV100 uses HBM2 with a 4096-bit bus, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses GDDR7 with a 192-bit bus. The GV100's memory bandwidth of 868.4 GB/s is higher than the 672.0 GB/s of the mobile card, but the mobile card has a much higher effective memory clock (28 Gbps vs 1696 Mbps). The GV100 supports DirectX 12 (12_1), while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), indicating support for newer rendering features.

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile introduces 46 RT cores, which the GV100 lacks entirely. This is a definitive architectural advantage for ray-traced workloads, though the benchmark data does not include ray-tracing-specific tests. The tensor core counts differ as well: 640 for the GV100 versus 184 for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile. The GV100 is part of the Quadro Volta (Vx000) generation, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is part of the GeForce 50 Mobile generation, with the former's predecessor being Quadro Pascal and the latter's being GeForce 40 Mobile.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA Quadro GV100 wins in scenarios that leverage its massive memory capacity and FP16 compute throughput. Its 32 GB of HBM2 memory is 2.67 times larger than the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 12 GB, making it the obvious choice for datasets that exceed 12 GB. Its FP16 output of 33.32 TFLOPS is double the mobile card's 17.04 TFLOPS, so any workload that can use FP16 math will see a significant advantage on the GV100. The Quadro also wins both Geekbench tests, indicating a slight edge in OpenCL and Vulkan compute environments.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins in every DirectX API test, with margins from 7.3% to 29.1%. The Passmark G3D score of 24004 versus 19650 makes it the clear choice for gaming or any real-time 3D rendering workload. Its wins in Passmark GPU Compute (10101 vs 9069) and Passmark G2D (981 vs 836) show it is more responsive in both compute and 2D tasks. The 60 W TDP versus the 250 W TDP makes it the only viable option for battery-powered mobile platforms, and its lack of power connectors simplifies installation in portable devices.

The overall win count is 7 for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile and 2 for the Quadro GV100, but the average scores are nearly identical. This suggests the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is a more well-rounded performer for modern graphics workloads, while the GV100 is a specialized tool for memory-heavy or FP16-intensive compute tasks. The choice between them should be driven by the specific application mix, not by overall scores.
