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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a direct comparison between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The result is decisive: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6269.5, while the RTX 2000 Ada Generation records 1767. This yields a delta of 254.8% in favor of the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, meaning the newer card delivers approximately 3.5 times the performance in this specific workload.

The average benchmark score across all recorded tests for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is 6270, which aligns closely with its Steel Nomad result. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation, however, has a much higher average benchmark score of 18954, driven by additional tests in the database. This discrepancy highlights that the two cards are measured across different test suites, and the single shared benchmark shows a massive performance gap.

In the Steel Nomad test, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also sits at the 36th percentile among all GPUs, while the RTX 2000 Ada Generation ranks at the 63rd percentile. This percentile difference is notable because the RTX 2000 Ada Generation outperforms a larger fraction of the GPU population in its broader test set, even though it loses heavily in the one direct comparison. The data indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is optimized for high-end DX12 rendering, whereas the RTX 2000 Ada Generation excels in a wider range of compute and legacy workloads.

The nearest rivals for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 with an average score of 6270 and a delta of 0%, indicating parity.

These figures suggest that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's performance is tightly clustered with these older or lower-tier cards in the database's scoring system, despite its architectural advantages.

For the RTX 2000 Ada Generation, the nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 with an average score of 19030 and a delta of -0.4%, the AMD Radeon RX 6600 with 19036 and a delta of -0.4%, the NVIDIA Tesla K80 with 18866 and a delta of 0.5%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile with 19049 and a delta of -0.5%. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation's average score of 18954 places it firmly in this range, indicating that its overall benchmark profile is comparable to mid-range desktop and professional cards.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins the only head-to-head benchmark available, the 3dmark_3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12 test, with a score of 6269.5 against 1767. This represents a 254.8% advantage, making it the clear choice for DX12-based rendering workloads that stress modern graphics pipelines. The card's high pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s, combined with 8960 shading units, directly support this dominance in rasterization-heavy tasks.

The RTX 2000 Ada Generation, despite losing the shared benchmark, shows strength in other areas recorded in the database. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 78074, and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 83360, indicating solid compute performance for its class. The Passmark suite results further illustrate its versatility: it scores 82 in DirectX 10, 138 in DirectX 11, 71 in DirectX 12, 216 in DirectX 9, 1072 in G2D, 16927 in G3D, and 7834 in GPU compute. These numbers reveal that the RTX 2000 Ada Generation performs well across legacy API tests and 2D operations, where its lower power envelope and workstation-oriented design may offer advantages.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no recorded wins beyond the Steel Nomad test, but its single benchmark score of 6269.5 is sufficient to establish its superiority in modern DX12 scenarios. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation, with zero head-to-head wins, still demonstrates that it is a capable general-purpose GPU, particularly for tasks that do not require the extreme throughput of the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER.

Use-case analysis from the data suggests that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is suited for high-performance gaming and rendering applications that leverage DX12 Ultimate features. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation, with its lower TDP of 70 W and no power connectors, is better positioned for environments where power efficiency and compact dimensions are priorities, such as professional workstations with limited cooling.

Architecture Differences

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and uses the GB203 chip, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It contains 45,600 million transistors on a die size of 378 mm², yielding a transistor density of 120.6M per mm². The RTX 2000 Ada Generation uses the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD107 chip, also on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but with 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die, for a density of 118.9M per mm². The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has over twice the transistor count and a larger die, reflecting its higher performance ceiling.

Core configurations differ substantially. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation has 2816 shading units, 88 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 22 RT cores, and 88 tensor cores. These figures show that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER provides roughly three times the shading units and more than three times the RT and tensor core counts, aligning with its benchmark advantage.

Clock speeds also diverge. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz, while the RTX 2000 Ada Generation runs at a base of 1620 MHz and a boost of 2130 MHz. The higher boost clock of the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER contributes to its higher compute throughput.

Memory configurations differ in type and bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing 256.0 GB/s. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER offers 3.5 times the memory bandwidth, which is critical for high-resolution textures and data-intensive workloads.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a TDP of 350 W and uses a single 16-pin power connector, while the RTX 2000 Ada Generation has a TDP of 70 W and requires no power connectors, with a suggested PSU of 250 W. The bus interface also differs: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16, whereas the RTX 2000 Ada Generation uses PCIe 4.0 x8.

Display outputs vary as well. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b, while the RTX 2000 Ada Generation provides 4x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.
