NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is a GeForce 50-series graphics card built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and the GB205 chip, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. It carries 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.3 million per square millimeter. The card is currently in active production, with a release date of December 31, 2025. In the database's overall GPU ranking, it sits at the 50th percentile, with an average benchmark score of 0, indicating a mid-pack position among all GPUs.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The RTX 5070 SUPER integrates 50 RT cores and 200 tensor cores, providing dedicated hardware for ray-traced rendering and AI-accelerated workloads. The tensor core count is substantial relative to the 6400 shading units, while the RT cores are fewer, suggesting a design that prioritizes AI compute alongside traditional rasterization. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, covering the modern API landscape. DirectX 12 Ultimate support implies readiness for the latest ray tracing and mesh shader features. The FP16 compute rate matches FP32 at 32.15 TFLOPS, as indicated by the (1:1) notation in the specifications, which can accelerate certain AI and compute tasks without penalty. The 200 tensor cores are the foundation for such capabilities, though the database does not list specific RT or tensor benchmark scores. The 50 RT cores, when paired with the 80 ROPs, deliver a pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s, which is the throughput for rasterized output. The 200 TMUs contribute a texture rate of 502.4 GTexel/s, ensuring that texture-heavy scenes are processed efficiently.

Who Should Consider It

The 50th percentile placement places this GPU in the middle of the database's performance distribution. With an average benchmark score of 0, the card's real-world performance is not yet quantified in this database, but its specifications offer clues. The 18 GB GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are generous, suggesting it can handle large texture sets and high-resolution rendering. The 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 502.4 GTexel/s texture rate indicate strong fillrate capabilities. For users targeting high resolutions with high-detail settings, this card appears well-suited, though the 50th percentile warns against expecting top-tier performance. It is likely a fit for those who want a balance of memory capacity and compute throughput without reaching the extreme end of the GPU spectrum. The dual-slot design and 245 mm length also make it physically compatible with a wide range of chassis. The 18 GB memory capacity is particularly relevant for users who load large texture packs or run multiple displays, as the 192-bit bus and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth can feed the 6400 shading units without obvious bottlenecks.

Benchmark Performance

Benchmark results for the RTX 5070 SUPER are currently absent from the database, with the average benchmark score listed as 0. The sole performance indicator is the 50th percentile ranking against all GPUs, which places it at the median. The raw compute figures provide a theoretical baseline: 32.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, 201.0 GPixel/s pixel fillrate, and 502.4 GTexel/s texture fillrate. These numbers, when compared to the 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, show a balanced design. The pixel rate is derived from 80 ROPs at 2512 MHz boost, while the texture rate comes from 200 TMUs. The memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s is a product of the 192-bit bus and 28 Gbps effective memory clock. Without rival scores or delta percentages, the 50th percentile is the only comparative metric, indicating that this GPU sits exactly in the middle of the field, neither dominating nor trailing. The boost clock of 2512 MHz and base clock of 2325 MHz are the clock speeds that drive these calculations, and the 5 nm process node helps maintain efficiency at these frequencies. The 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die give a density of 118.3 million per square millimeter, which is a measure of the architectural complexity packed into this chip.

How It Compares

The database currently lists no nearest rivals for the RTX 5070 SUPER, meaning there are no direct comparative scores or deltaPct values to analyze. This absence of rival data is notable, as it leaves the 50th percentile as the only reference point. Within the GeForce 50-series, this card occupies a specific niche, but without specific competitor names or scores, the analysis must rely on its internal specifications. The 50th percentile suggests that it outperforms half of the GPUs in the database and underperforms the other half. Given its 18 GB memory capacity and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth, it likely competes in the upper-middle segment of the market, but the lack of rival data prevents a precise positioning. The card's 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 compute is a strong indicator, yet without delta percentages, a definitive comparison is impossible. The 50th percentile is a static measure, and the average benchmark score of 0 further complicates any comparative analysis, as it implies no collected performance data has been recorded yet. This places the RTX 5070 SUPER in a state of analytical limbo, where its theoretical specs must be trusted until benchmark results populate.

Power and Cooling

The RTX 5070 SUPER has a thermal design power of 275 W, which dictates its cooling and power delivery requirements. It uses a single 16-pin power connector, a standard for modern high-end GPUs. The card is a dual-slot design, measuring 245 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. This compact footprint allows it to fit into most mid-tower cases, though the 275 W TDP means adequate case airflow is necessary. The database does not provide a suggested PSU wattage, but the 16-pin connector and 275 W TDP imply that a power supply with that connector is required. The 5 nm process node from TSMC helps manage thermals, but the 275 W TDP is a clear indicator of the cooling solution's workload. The dual-slot cooler should be sufficient for the 275 W envelope, but users should verify case clearance given the 245 mm length. The 40 mm width is within standard dual-slot thickness, ensuring compatibility with most PCIe slots and neighboring components. The power connector's 16-pin design is a single point of connection, simplifying cable management but requiring a compatible PSU cable.

Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem is a defining feature of the RTX 5070 SUPER. It packs 18 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. The effective memory clock is 1750 MHz, translating to 28 Gbps effective. This combination is notable: the 192-bit bus is narrower than some high-end cards, but the GDDR7 memory type compensates with higher data rates. The 18 GB capacity is generous, allowing for high-resolution textures and large datasets without hitting memory ceilings. The 672.0 GB/s bandwidth supports the card's 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 502.4 GTexel/s texture rate, ensuring that the shading units (6400) are not starved for data. For high-resolution gaming, this memory configuration provides a solid foundation, though the 50th percentile ranking suggests that raw bandwidth alone does not guarantee top-tier performance. The 192-bit bus is a deliberate trade-off, balancing capacity against the need for high throughput, and the 18 GB size is particularly advantageous for modern games that exceed 12 GB of VRAM usage. The memory clock of 1750 MHz, when multiplied by the bus width, produces the 672.0 GB/s figure, which is a key metric for bandwidth-sensitive workloads.
