Notes on 5 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: No Founders Edition exists; most partner cards use one 8-pin socket, a few use a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.
  3. 3NVIDIA 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.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, PCIe lanes: Only 8 lanes: on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 board it gets half or a quarter of the PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.

Performance and Architecture

The RTX 4070 Super runs on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 7,168 shader cores, delivering an FP32 compute capability of 35.5 TFLOPS. In contrast, the newer Blackwell-based 5060 Ti features 4,608 cores and reaches 23.7 TFLOPS of compute.

While the older card wins raw compute output, the Blackwell card counters with higher clock speeds, featuring a 2,572 MHz boost clock. This balances out processing efficiency for supported modern workloads.

Memory and Interface

The 4070 Super equips 12 GB of GDDR6X video memory across a 192-bit bus, achieving a memory bandwidth of 504 GB/s. The 5060 Ti provides 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a narrower 128-bit bus, yielding 448 GB/s of bandwidth.

For connectivity and future standards, the 5060 Ti includes PCIe 5.0 and DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate, alongside an 8 lanes PCIe configuration. Buyers on PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 boards should note the x8 link, which hurts the 8 GB card more once VRAM overflows.

Power and Efficiency

Power requirements differ significantly between the two options. The 5060 Ti operates at a board power of 180 W and uses an 8-pin connector on most partner cards, though a few use a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.

The 4070 Super demands 220 W of board power and relies on a 16-pin 12V-2x6 header, utilizing an adapter cable for non-ATX 3.0 power supplies. Both cards carry a recommended PSU rating of 600 W.

Video and Encoding

Hardware encoding capabilities vary by generation. The 5060 Ti supports H.264, HEVC, and AV1 across one encoder.

The 4070 Super supports AV1 hardware encoding, giving creators solid baseline options for modern streaming formats regardless of which card they select.
