NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records a single shared benchmark between these two NVIDIA GeForce 50-series graphics cards: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6269.5 points, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 scores 5077 points. This places the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER 19% ahead of the RTX 5070 in this DirectX 12 workload. The recorded delta shows the RTX 5070 trailing by that 19% margin, a substantial gap that reflects the difference in raw graphics throughput between the two boards.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also holds a decisive advantage in the average benchmark score category. Its average benchmark score is 6270, derived from its Steel Nomad result. The RTX 5070, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 40377 across its ten recorded tests. However, these two averages are not directly comparable because the RTX 5070 has far more benchmark entries in the database, including PassMark tests and Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan runs. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has only the one 3DMark result recorded so far, so its average is based on a single data point.

Looking at the RTX 5070's full benchmark suite, its strongest result comes from the Geekbench Vulkan test with a score of 178923, followed closely by Geekbench OpenCL at 172660. The PassMark G3D test produces a score of 29137, while the PassMark GPU Compute test shows 15787. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result at 5077 is the lowest among its modern workload tests. The remaining PassMark scores are 320 for DirectX 9, 277 for DirectX 11, 180 for DirectX 10, 108 for DirectX 12, and 1305 for the G2D test. These older DirectX tests show relatively modest numbers, but they represent legacy API paths rather than current gaming workloads.

The percentile rankings in the database tell a more complex story. The RTX 5070 sits at the 82nd percentile among all GPUs, a strong position indicating it outperforms the vast majority of graphics cards in the database. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, however, has a percentile of 36, which appears low given its higher raw score. This discrepancy stems from the fact that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has only one benchmark entry, and its percentile is calculated against a database that includes many entries with higher average scores across multiple tests. The single Steel Nomad score, while high, does not lift the percentile as much as a full suite of tests would.

The nearest rival data for the RTX 5070 shows it clustered with professional workstation cards. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 has an average score of 40318, a 0.1% difference from the RTX 5070's 40377. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40063, 0.8% behind. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40870, which is 1.2% ahead of the RTX 5070. The NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile scores 39568, 2% behind. These rival deltas are all within a narrow 3% band, suggesting the RTX 5070's average benchmark performance is comparable to these professional mobile and workstation parts, despite being a consumer gaming card.

For the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, the nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 with an identical average score of 6270, a 0% delta. The NVIDIA Quadro K620 scores 6282, 0.2% ahead. The AMD FirePro W600 scores 6223, 0.8% behind. The AMD Radeon R7 M350 scores 6327, 0.9% ahead. These rivals span very different market segments, and the close deltas reflect the limited benchmark data available for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER rather than genuine performance equivalence with those older cards.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates a clear performance hierarchy: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the faster card in the one shared test, with a 19% lead in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. Any user prioritizing raw DirectX 12 gaming performance should select the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER based on this measurement. The 6269.5 score against 5077 represents a substantial margin that would translate into higher frame rates in modern games that utilize DirectX 12.

However, the RTX 5070 has a much richer benchmark history in the database. Its ten recorded tests provide a broader picture of its capabilities across multiple APIs and workload types. The RTX 5070's 82nd percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates strong overall standing, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 36th percentile is misleading due to sparse data. Users who want a card with proven performance across many test scenarios may find the RTX 5070's extensive benchmark coverage more reassuring.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also commands a higher launch MSRP, stated once here as 749 USD, compared to the RTX 5070's launch MSRP of 549 USD. The data shows the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivering 19% more performance in the shared test for that higher launch MSRP. Users who need maximum performance in the specific workload tested should choose the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. Users who value the broader benchmark validation and the lower launch MSRP may prefer the RTX 5070.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins the only directly comparable benchmark, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, by 19%. This indicates it is the superior choice for DirectX 12 gaming workloads, particularly those that stress modern rendering features like ray tracing and mesh shaders, which Steel Nomad emphasizes. The higher score suggests better frame rates and smoother performance in current-generation game engines.

The RTX 5070 wins in benchmark coverage and validation. Its ten recorded results span Geekbench OpenCL, Geekbench Vulkan, and seven PassMark tests covering DirectX 9, 10, 11, 12, G2D, G3D, and GPU Compute. This breadth allows users to see how the card performs across legacy and modern APIs, compute workloads, and 2D rendering tasks. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has only the single Steel Nomad result, so its performance in other scenarios remains unmeasured in the database.

For compute-heavy tasks, the RTX 5070's Geekbench OpenCL score of 172660 and Vulkan score of 178923 indicate strong general-purpose GPU compute capabilities. Its PassMark GPU Compute score of 15787 provides additional evidence of compute throughput. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no comparable compute benchmarks recorded, so any claim about its compute performance cannot be substantiated from the database.

For legacy DirectX support, the RTX 5070 shows decreasing scores across older API versions: DirectX 9 at 320, DirectX 11 at 277, DirectX 10 at 180, and DirectX 12 at 108 in the PassMark suite. This pattern suggests the card handles older APIs reasonably well but is optimized for modern workloads. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no PassMark results recorded, so no comparison is possible.

Architecture Differences

Both cards share the NVIDIA Blackwell 2.0 architecture and use TSMC's 5 nm process node. The RTX 5070 uses the GB205 chip, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the larger GB203 chip. This chip difference drives most of the architectural separation between the two cards.

The RTX 5070 contains 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 118.3 million per mm². The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER contains 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, with a transistor density of 120.6 million per mm². The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 46.6% more transistors and a 43.7% larger die area, while maintaining a slightly higher transistor density.

The shading unit count differs significantly. The RTX 5070 has 6144 shading units, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960, a 45.8% increase. Texture mapping units follow the same pattern: 192 on the RTX 5070 versus 280 on the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, a 45.8% increase. Raster output units (ROPs) go from 80 on the RTX 5070 to 96 on the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, a 20% increase.

Ray tracing cores and tensor cores also scale with the larger chip. The RTX 5070 has 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores, representing 45.8% and 45.8% increases respectively. These additional cores directly support the higher ray tracing and AI workload performance implied by the benchmark gap.

Pixel and texture fill rates reflect the core count differences. The RTX 5070 achieves 201.0 GPixel/s and 482.3 GTexel/s. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER achieves 235.4 GPixel/s and 686.6 GTexel/s. The texture rate advantage of 42.3% aligns closely with the TMU count increase, while the pixel rate advantage of 17.1% reflects the more modest ROP increase.

FP32 and FP16 compute throughput also scale with shading units. The RTX 5070 delivers 30.87 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio). The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers 43.94 TFLOPS in both precisions, a 42.3% increase. This compute advantage would benefit compute-heavy applications as well as gaming workloads.
