NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti vs NVIDIA N1X 40SM Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the NVIDIA N1X 40SM contains no benchmark entries, which means the comparison is necessarily one-sided. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has a full suite of measured results, while the N1X 40SM has an average benchmark score of 0 and an empty benchmark array. This is not a close contest in the database; it is a case where one part has measurable performance and the other has none recorded.

The RTX 5070 Ti posts a Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6604, which places it in the upper tier of the database. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 212363, and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 225122. These are strong compute-oriented numbers that indicate solid API-level performance across both general compute and graphics workloads. The PassMark G3D score of 32974 reinforces the same conclusion: the card is a high-throughput part. Its PassMark GPU Compute score of 20203 shows that the compute capacity is not just a single-test anomaly.

The RTX 5070 Ti also delivers specific rasterization throughput figures. The pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s. The FP32 throughput is 43.94 TFLOPS, with FP16 matching at 43.94 TFLOPS (1:1). These numbers are consistent with a part that handles both traditional rendering and compute-heavy tasks without a performance penalty for reduced precision. The PassMark DX9 score of 351, DX10 score of 192, DX11 score of 300, and DX12 score of 127 show how the card scales across different DirectX feature levels, with the older APIs producing comparatively lower scores.

The N1X 40SM has no such data. Its percentile rank is 50, which is the midpoint of the database, but that rank is assigned despite the absence of any benchmark results. The RTX 5070 Ti sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs, which is a meaningful difference in the database's distribution. The average benchmark score for the RTX 5070 Ti is 49957, while the N1X 40SM's is 0. The nearest rivals for the RTX 5070 Ti further contextualize its position: the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 has an average score of 50001 with a delta of -0.1%, the Intel Arc A550M scores 49737 with a delta of 0.4%, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT scores 50951 with a delta of -2%, and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT scores 48477 with a delta of 3.1%. These deltas are small, meaning the RTX 5070 Ti sits in a tightly contested band of GPUs around the 50000 average score mark.

The N1X 40SM has no nearest rivals listed, which removes any point of reference for its performance. The database simply has nothing to compare against it. The only conclusion that can be drawn from the head-to-head data is that the RTX 5070 Ti has measured results and the N1X 40SM does not.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear split between the two parts. The RTX 5070 Ti is a discrete graphics card with measured performance across multiple benchmarks, a high percentile rank, and a full set of specifications. The N1X 40SM is an integrated graphics processor with no recorded benchmarks, no nearest rivals, and an average score of 0. For anyone selecting a part for a build where benchmark data matters, the RTX 5070 Ti is the only option with evidence of performance in the database. The N1X 40SM cannot be evaluated on its merits because no merits are recorded. The RTX 5070 Ti sits at the 86th percentile, while the N1X 40SM sits at the 50th percentile, but that 50th percentile is assigned without any supporting measurements. The choice is straightforward from the recorded data: the RTX 5070 Ti delivers measurable results, and the N1X 40SM does not.

The RTX 5070 Ti also has a defined launch MSRP of 749 USD, which can be stated once. The N1X 40SM has no launch MSRP field. Beyond that, the specification differences below show why the RTX 5070 Ti is built for discrete rendering workloads while the N1X 40SM appears aimed at a different, likely integrated, role.

Specification Differences

The two parts differ across nearly every specification field. The RTX 5070 Ti uses the GB203 chip, while the N1X 40SM uses the GB20B chip. Both use the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, so the manufacturing node is identical. The die sizes are close: the RTX 5070 Ti is 378 mm², and the N1X 40SM is 382 mm². The transistor count for the RTX 5070 Ti is 45,600 million with a density of 120.6M per mm²; the N1X 40SM has an unknown transistor count and no density figure.

Clock speeds diverge sharply. The RTX 5070 Ti has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz. The N1X 40SM has a base clock of 741 MHz and a boost clock of 2346 MHz. The memory clocks are also different: the RTX 5070 Ti runs at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective), while the N1X 40SM runs at 1067 MHz (8.5 Gbps effective). Memory size is a major difference: the RTX 5070 Ti has 16 GB of GDDR7, while the N1X 40SM has 128 GB of LPDDR5X. Both use a 256-bit bus, but the bandwidth is far apart: 896.0 GB/s for the RTX 5070 Ti versus 273.2 GB/s for the N1X 40SM.

The compute units also differ. The RTX 5070 Ti has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The N1X 40SM has 5120 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 40 ROPs. The RTX 5070 Ti has 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores; the N1X 40SM has 40 RT cores and 160 tensor cores. The pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s for the RTX 5070 Ti versus 93.84 GPixel/s for the N1X 40SM. The texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s for the RTX 5070 Ti versus 750.7 GTexel/s for the N1X 40SM. FP32 and FP16 throughput are both 43.94 TFLOPS for the RTX 5070 Ti, while the N1X 40SM delivers 24.02 TFLOPS in each.

Power and physical specifications are entirely different. The RTX 5070 Ti has a TDP of 300 W, a dual-slot form factor, a 1x 16-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 700 W. The N1X 40SM has an unknown TDP, an IGP slot width, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. The RTX 5070 Ti measures 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width; the N1X 40SM has no recorded dimensions. The RTX 5070 Ti outputs 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b; the N1X 40SM has only 1x HDMI. The RTX 5070 Ti supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The N1X 40SM lists N/A for all three APIs. Both use PCIe 5.0 x16 as the bus interface.

Architecture Differences

Both parts use the Blackwell 2.0 architecture from NVIDIA, so the architectural foundation is shared. The process node is also identical at 5 nm, and both are fabricated by TSMC. The differences lie in the chip implementation and the intended use case. The RTX 5070 Ti is built around the GB203 chip, which is a discrete GPU design with a transistor count of 45,600 million and a die size of 378 mm². The N1X 40SM uses the GB20B chip, which has a slightly larger die at 382 mm² but an unknown transistor count. The density figure for the RTX 5070 Ti is 120.6M per mm², which is measurable; the N1X 40SM has no density data.

The memory architecture is a notable divergence. The RTX 5070 Ti uses GDDR7, a high-bandwidth memory type designed for discrete graphics workloads, with a bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s. The N1X 40SM uses LPDDR5X, a lower-power memory type typical of integrated or embedded contexts, with a bandwidth of 273.2 GB/s. The capacity difference is extreme: 16 GB versus 128 GB. The RTX 5070 Ti has a higher boost clock (2452 MHz versus 2346 MHz) and a much higher base clock (2295 MHz versus 741 MHz), suggesting it is intended to sustain high clocks under load. The N1X 40SM's low base clock with a high boost clock is typical of a power-constrained part.

The compute resource allocation also differs. The RTX 5070 Ti has more shading units (8960 versus 5120), more ROPs (96 versus 40), more RT cores (70 versus 40), and more tensor cores (280 versus 160). However, the N1X 40SM has more TMUs (320 versus 280), which gives it a higher texture rate of 750.7 GTexel/s compared to the RTX 5070 Ti's 686.6 GTexel/s. The pixel rate favors the RTX 5070 Ti at 235.4 GPixel/s versus 93.84 GPixel/s. FP32 and FP16 throughput are both 43.94 TFLOPS for the RTX 5070 Ti, while the N1X 40SM delivers 24.02 TFLOPS in each, meaning the RTX 5070 Ti has roughly 1.83 times the raw floating-point throughput. The RTX 5070 Ti supports full DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4; the N1X 40SM lists these APIs as N/A, which suggests it is not designed for standard desktop graphics APIs. The RTX 5070 Ti is also a dual-slot card with an external power connector, while the N1X 40SM is an IGP with no power connector and no TDP recorded.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti wins in every category where the database has recorded measurements. It has benchmark scores, a percentile rank of 86, an average score of 49957, and a full list of nearest rivals that show it is competitive within a tight band of GPUs. Its FP32 throughput is 43.94 TFLOPS, which is double the N1X 40SM's 24.02 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s versus 93.84 GPixel/s, more than double. Its memory bandwidth is 896.0 GB/s versus 273.2 GB/s, more than triple. Its boost clock is higher at 2452 MHz versus 2346 MHz, and its base clock is 2295 MHz versus 741 MHz, a difference that indicates the RTX 5070 Ti is built for sustained high-frequency operation. The RTX 5070 Ti also has more shading units, more ROPs, more RT cores, and more tensor cores, giving it an advantage in ray tracing, tensor operations, and fill-rate-bound scenarios.

The N1X 40SM has no recorded wins in the database. Its average benchmark score is 0, and its benchmark array is empty. The only specification where it leads is texture rate: 750.7 GTexel/s versus 686.6 GTexel/s, driven by its higher TMU count of 320 versus 280. It also has 128 GB of memory versus 16 GB, which is a capacity advantage for workloads that require large memory footprints, though the bandwidth is much lower. The N1X 40SM's die is slightly larger at 382 mm² versus 378 mm², and it has an IGP form factor with no power connectors, which means it consumes no external power in the traditional sense. Its TDP is unknown, so no power comparison is possible. For use cases that require a discrete GPU with measured performance, the RTX 5070 Ti is the clear choice. For integrated or embedded scenarios where memory capacity matters more than throughput, the N1X 40SM has a specification advantage, but there is no benchmark data to confirm any real-world performance benefit. The database only supports a verdict in favor of the RTX 5070 Ti.
