Notes on 4 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; other systems may need a different PSU.
- 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
- 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.
- 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
Performance and Architecture
The RTX 5070 utilizes the Blackwell architecture, bringing a boost clock of 2,512 MHz and a base clock of 2,330 MHz. It also features newer GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps, which delivers a memory bandwidth of 672 GB/s.
In contrast, the RTX 4070 Super is built on Ada Lovelace and packs 7,168 shader cores, giving it a higher FP32 compute capability of 35.5 TFLOPS compared to the newer card's 30.9 TFLOPS. It uses GDDR6X memory running at 21 Gbps for a bandwidth of 504 GB/s.
Power and System Requirements
Running the RTX 5070 requires a board power of 250 W and a recommended minimum power supply of 650 W for a system featuring a Ryzen 9 9950X, with other systems potentially needing a different PSU. It connects using a 12V-2x6 socket.
The older RTX 4070 Super draws less power at 220 W and lowers the recommended system power supply to 600 W. It also uses a 16-pin 12V-2x6 variant header and ships with an adapter cable for non-ATX 3.0 power supplies.
Connectivity and Display Outputs
The RTX 5070 advances interface standards with PCIe 5.0 and includes DisplayPort 2.1b supporting the full UHBR20 rate, alongside HDMI 2.1b. These upgraded outputs let you drive high-refresh-rate next-generation monitors without compression.
The RTX 4070 Super relies on PCIe 4.0, HDMI 2.1, and DisplayPort 1.4a. Both cards feature three DisplayPort outputs, one HDMI port, and support up to four total displays.
The Verdict
Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 if you want faster GDDR7 memory, PCIe 5.0 support, and DisplayPort 2.1b outputs at a lower launch price of $549. Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super if you prefer higher raw shader counts and lower board power draw of 220 W.
