Notes on 3 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super, Power connectors: Nvidia's 16-pin header is the 12V-2x6 variant; an adapter cable for non-ATX 3.0 power supplies ships with the card.
- 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Max displays: Standard configuration supports up to 4 simultaneous displays based on the 3 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI port count.
- 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Slot width: Calculated from the published 40 mm width (thickness), typically corresponding to a dual-slot form factor.
Performance and Compute
The RTX 4070 Super relies on the Ada Lovelace architecture and 7,168 shader cores to deliver 35.5 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This gives it a clear advantage in raw computational heavy lifting over the newer Blackwell card.
The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB fights back with higher base and boost clock speeds, reaching 2,572 MHz. While it packs fewer shader cores and lower floating-point throughput at 23.7 TFLOPS, it brings newer interface technology with PCIe 5.0 support.
Memory and Video
The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB equips 16 GB of GDDR7 video memory running at 28 Gbps on a 128-bit bus. This configuration provides ample headroom for high-resolution textures and modern asset streaming, alongside AV1 hardware encoding across multiple formats.
In contrast, the RTX 4070 Super relies on 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a wider 192-bit bus, achieving a higher memory bandwidth of 504 GB/s. It also includes 48 MB of last-level cache to streamline data access.
Power and System Requirements
The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB operates at a lower 180 W board power and requires a modest 500 W power supply unit using a standard 8-pin connector. This makes it easier to integrate into existing builds without upgrading your power infrastructure.
The RTX 4070 Super demands 220 W of board power and a 600 W recommended PSU, utilizing the 12V-2x6 power connector layout. Buyers should check their power supply cables before installation.
The Verdict
Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB if you want modern GDDR7 memory capacity, lower power draw, and a lower launch price of $429. Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super if you prioritize higher raw compute performance and wider memory bandwidth.
