NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER vs NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single benchmark score for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER: 6269.5 points in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. Its average benchmark score is 6270. The NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation has no recorded benchmark entries, so direct head-to-head numbers are unavailable. Comparison must therefore rely on architectural data and the nearest-rival context recorded for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest recorded rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, which posts an identical average score of 6270, a delta of 0 percent. This places the two cards as exact performance equals in the Steel Nomad workload. The AMD FirePro W600 scores 6223, putting the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER 0.8 percent ahead. The AMD Radeon R7 M350 scores 6327, meaning the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER trails by 0.9 percent. The NVIDIA Quadro K620 scores 6282, a 0.2 percent advantage over the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER.

These delta values are small enough that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER effectively trades positions with its closest competitors. A 0.8 percent lead over the FirePro W600 and a 0.9 percent deficit against the R7 M350 fall within typical run-to-run variance for synthetic benchmarks. The 0 percent delta against the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 is the most meaningful comparison: two different GPU architectures deliver the same Steel Nomad result.

For the RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation, the absence of benchmark scores means no percentile ranking can be derived from measured performance. The database records its percentile versus all GPUs as 50, but with an average benchmark score of 0, this figure does not reflect tested results. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the wins counters show zero for both cards.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins on raw compute throughput. Its FP32 performance is 43.94 TFLOPS, nearly double the RTX 3500 Embedded's 23.04 TFLOPS. FP16 performance matches the FP32 figure for both cards at a 1:1 ratio, so the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also doubles the FP16 throughput. Texture rate follows the same pattern: 686.6 GTexel/s versus 360.0 GTexel/s. Pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s against 144.0 GPixel/s.

Memory bandwidth heavily favors the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. It delivers 896.0 GB/s over a 256-bit bus using GDDR7, while the RTX 3500 Embedded provides 432.0 GB/s over a 192-bit bus using GDDR6. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also carries more memory capacity at 16 GB versus 12 GB.

The RTX 3500 Embedded wins on power efficiency in terms of thermal design power. Its TDP is 100 W, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER draws 350 W. The embedded card requires no power connectors and lists a suggested PSU of 300 W. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses a single 16-pin connector. The embedded card occupies an IGP form factor, which means it can fit into systems where a dual-slot, 304 mm long add-in card will not.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins on display connectivity. It offers one HDMI 2.1b port and three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs. The RTX 3500 Embedded has no display outputs, indicating it is designed for compute or rendering tasks where video output is handled by another GPU.

Architecture Differences

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It packs 45,600 million transistors into a 378 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 120.6 million per mm². The RTX 3500 Embedded uses the AD104 chip based on Ada Lovelace architecture, also on TSMC's 5 nm node. It contains 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, giving a slightly higher density of 121.8 million per mm².

The Blackwell chip carries 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units. The Ada chip is smaller in every count: 5120 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Ray tracing cores number 70 on the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER versus 40 on the RTX 3500 Embedded. Tensor cores follow the same ratio: 280 versus 160.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER runs at a 2295 MHz base and 2452 MHz boost. The RTX 3500 Embedded runs at 1725 MHz base and 2250 MHz boost. Memory clocks also diverge: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER operates at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective data rate, while the RTX 3500 Embedded operates at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. The RTX 3500 Embedded uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a dual-slot card measuring 304 mm by 137 mm by 48 mm. The RTX 3500 Embedded has no recorded dimensions and is classified as IGP.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER was released on December 31, 2025, with a launch MSRP of 749 USD. The RTX 3500 Embedded was released on March 20, 2023. Its predecessor is listed as Ampere-MW, and its successor is Blackwell-MW. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no recorded predecessor or successor. The RTX 3500 Embedded is part of the GeForce 30-series family, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER belongs to the GeForce 50-series.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the stronger performer across every measured compute metric. Its FP32 throughput is 43.94 TFLOPS, which is 90.8 percent higher than the RTX 3500 Embedded's 23.04 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth is 896.0 GB/s versus 432.0 GB/s, a 107 percent advantage. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has more shading units, TMUs, ROPs, ray tracing cores, and tensor cores. It also has a larger memory pool at 16 GB versus 12 GB.

The RTX 3500 Embedded wins exclusively on power and form factor. Its 100 W TDP is 71 percent lower than the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 350 W. It requires no external power connectors, fits an IGP slot, and specifies a 300 W system power supply. This makes it suitable for embedded or compact systems where a dual-slot card with a 16-pin connector cannot be accommodated.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's benchmark score of 6269.5 in Steel Nomad places it at the 36th percentile, with its nearest rival at identical performance. The RTX 3500 Embedded has no recorded benchmark scores, so its relative standing cannot be confirmed from tested data. The percentile field shows 50, but with zero average benchmark score, this value lacks empirical support.

For workloads requiring maximum compute throughput, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the clear choice. For power-constrained embedded deployments where the card must operate without auxiliary power, the RTX 3500 Embedded is the only viable option. The 350 W TDP and 304 mm length of the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER will exclude it from many chassis and power budgets.
