Where Each One Wins

The recorded data contains only one head-to-head benchmark between these two cards, and that test goes to the RTX 5070 Ti. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX 5070 Ti posts 6604 against the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 6269.5, a margin of 5.3%. This makes the RTX 5070 Ti the stronger card in the single workload where both have measured scores.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's case rests on its average benchmark score of 6270, but that figure is derived from only one test. When placed against its nearest rivals, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER shows a 0% delta against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (6270), a 0.2% advantage over the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6282), a 0.8% deficit to the AMD FirePro W600 (6223), and a 0.9% lead over the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6327). These comparisons suggest the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's measured performance is tightly clustered with those older or lower-tier parts, but the single-test dataset limits the strength of any conclusion.

For the RTX 5070 Ti, the broader benchmark suite provides a fuller picture. It achieves 212363 in Geekbench OpenCL and 225122 in Geekbench Vulkan, scores that reflect strong compute and graphics throughput across different API layers. In PassMark tests, it reaches 32974 in G3D, 20203 in GPU Compute, 1332 in G2D, and scores of 351, 300, 192, and 127 in DirectX 9, DirectX 11, DirectX 10, and DirectX 12 respectively. These results give the RTX 5070 Ti a percentile rank of 86 among all GPUs in the database, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile.

The use-case split is therefore clear but lopsided. For any workload captured by 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX 5070 Ti is the faster part. For broader compute and API-specific workloads, only the RTX 5070 Ti has recorded data, and its high percentile and average score of 49957 place it well above the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 6270 average. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's only advantage in the database is its higher TDP of 350 W against the RTX 5070 Ti's 300 W, which does not translate into any measured performance win.

Architecture Differences

Both cards are built on the NVIDIA GeForce 50-series platform using the GB203 chip. The architecture is Blackwell 2.0, and both are manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The transistor count is identical at 45,600 million, and the die size is the same at 378 mm², yielding a transistor density of 120.6 million transistors per square millimeter.

The core logic is also identical. Both cards have 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. Ray tracing hardware is present in both with 70 RT cores, and tensor processing is handled by 280 tensor cores. The pixel rate for both is 235.4 GPixel/s, the texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute is 43.94 TFLOPS with FP16 at the same 43.94 TFLOPS in a 1:1 ratio.

Memory architecture shows no differences either. Both use 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, with the same 1750 MHz memory clock and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth. The identical memory subsystem means memory-bound workloads should behave the same on both cards, assuming other factors do not intervene.

The API support matches across the board. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs are also the same: one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b connectors. The bus interface is PCIe 5.0 x16 on both.

The only architectural difference that appears in the data is power related. The RTX 5070 Ti carries a TDP of 300 W, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER carries a TDP of 350 W. Both use a single 16-pin power connector and a dual-slot cooler. The RTX 5070 Ti lists a suggested PSU of 700 W, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no suggested PSU value recorded.

Since the silicon, memory, and feature set are identical, the 5.3% performance gap in the Steel Nomad test cannot be attributed to core count, clock speed, cache size, or memory bandwidth, as none of those differ. The recorded data shows identical base and boost clocks (2295 MHz base, 2452 MHz boost) for both cards. The higher TDP of the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER may allow for different power delivery behavior, but the benchmark results do not reflect any benefit from that additional power budget.

Specification Differences

The two cards are nearly identical on paper. The differences in the recorded specifications are limited to TDP, suggested PSU, release date, and the presence of predecessor and successor information.

The RTX 5070 Ti has a TDP of 300 W, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a TDP of 350 W. Both are dual-slot cards with a 1x 16-pin power connector. The RTX 5070 Ti lists a suggested PSU of 700 W; the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no suggested PSU value in the database.

The release dates differ. The RTX 5070 Ti was released on 2025-02-19, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a release date of 2025-12-31. The RTX 5070 Ti has a predecessor listed as GeForce 40 and a successor listed as GeForce 60. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no predecessor or successor recorded.

Physical dimensions are identical: 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width. Both cards are dual-slot. The launch MSRP is the same for both at 749 USD, though pricing details are not part of this analysis.

All other specifications match exactly. This includes the chip (GB203), architecture (Blackwell 2.0), process node (5 nm), foundry (TSMC), transistor count (45,600 million), die size (378 mm²), memory size (16 GB), memory type (GDDR7), bus width (256 bit), memory clock (1750 MHz, 28 Gbps effective), bandwidth (896.0 GB/s), shading units (8960), TMUs (280), ROPs (96), RT cores (70), tensor cores (280), pixel rate (235.4 GPixel/s), texture rate (686.6 GTexel/s), FP32 (43.94 TFLOPS), FP16 (43.94 TFLOPS), base clock (2295 MHz), boost clock (2452 MHz), bus interface (PCIe 5.0 x16), display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1b, 3x DisplayPort 2.1b), and API support (DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.4).

The specification summary is that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER differs from the RTX 5070 Ti only in TDP, suggested PSU listing, and release timing. The core hardware is identical, which makes the measured performance difference in the Steel Nomad test notable because it occurs between two parts with the same silicon and same clocks.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one head-to-head comparison between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. That test is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12.

In this test, the RTX 5070 Ti scores 6604, and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6269.5. The difference is 334.5 points, which corresponds to a 5.3% advantage for the RTX 5070 Ti. The winner is recorded as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and the win count stands at 1 for the RTX 5070 Ti and 0 for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER.

This result is significant because the two cards share identical core configurations, clocks, memory, and architecture. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a higher TDP (350 W versus 300 W), yet it trails in this workload. The measured data does not indicate any test where the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER outperforms the RTX 5070 Ti.

For context, the RTX 5070 Ti's average benchmark score of 49957 is derived from ten tests: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 (6604), Geekbench OpenCL (212363), Geekbench Vulkan (225122), PassMark DirectX 10 (192), PassMark DirectX 11 (300), PassMark DirectX 12 (127), PassMark DirectX 9 (351), PassMark G2D (1332), PassMark G3D (32974), and PassMark GPU Compute (20203). The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score of 6270 is derived from its single Steel Nomad result.

The RTX 5070 Ti's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 with an average score of 50001 and a delta of -0.1%, the Intel Arc A550M with 49737 and a delta of 0.4%, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT with 50951 and a delta of -2%, and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT with 48477 and a delta of 3.1%. These deltas show the RTX 5070 Ti sitting in a tight performance cluster, within 3.1% of four different cards.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 with an average score of 6270 and a delta of 0%, the NVIDIA Quadro K620 with 6282 and a delta of -0.2%, the AMD FirePro W600 with 6223 and a delta of 0.8%, and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 with 6327 and a delta of -0.9%. These are much lower-tier parts, and the tight delta range suggests the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's single score places it in a very different performance bracket than the RTX 5070 Ti.

The percentile ranks reinforce this split. The RTX 5070 Ti sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile. That 50-percentile gap is consistent with the large difference in average scores (49957 versus 6270), although the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average is based on far less data.

The head-to-head data shows a single decisive win for the RTX 5070 Ti with a 5.3% margin. No benchmark in the database gives the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER a win. The RTX 5070 Ti also holds the higher percentile rank and the higher average benchmark score, though the latter comparison is limited by the disparity in the number of recorded tests. The higher TDP of the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER does not appear in any performance advantage in the recorded measurements.
