RTX 4070 Super vs RTX 4070 Ti Super
Same family, two personalities: the RTX 4070 Super and the RTX 4070 Ti Super start from common ground and then go their separate ways. On balance, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is the stronger package: it leads in 2 out of 3 areas, most clearly in gpu & performance. Then there’s the $200 question: that’s how much more the RTX 4070 Ti Super launched at compared with the RTX 4070 Super.

Key Differences
-
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 4 GB more VRAM
The RTX 4070 Super gives up a lot on vram: 12 GB, compared with 16 GB on the RTX 4070 Ti Super. Newer games tend to ask for more video memory, so the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s extra VRAM helps the card age better.
-
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 24% more theoretical FP32 compute
Few buyers will miss this one. The RTX 4070 Ti Super brings 44.1 TFLOPS to the table; the RTX 4070 Super brings 35.5 TFLOPS. Architectures use their compute differently, so treat the gap as a guide and look at game benchmarks for the details.
-
The RTX 4070 Super has 65 W lower board power
When it comes to total board power, the RTX 4070 Super wins comfortably with 220 W against 285 W. Lower board power means less heat, quieter cooling and a smaller impact on your electricity bill.
-
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 18% more shader units
It’s a lopsided result (8,448 for the RTX 4070 Ti Super, 7,168 for the RTX 4070 Super) and one of the main reasons to choose between them. The RTX 4070 Ti Super’s extra shaders give it more raw muscle, although comparisons across different architectures aren’t one-to-one.
-
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 33% more memory bandwidth
The spread here is large: 672 GB/s on the RTX 4070 Ti Super versus 504 GB/s on the RTX 4070 Super. Expect to notice it. The RTX 4070 Ti Super has more bandwidth to work with, helping it hold up in memory-heavy games.

GPU & Performance
RTX 4070 Ti Super leads
For gpu & performance, the verdict is easy: the RTX 4070 Ti Super leads, and not by a little. The RTX 4070 Ti Super stands out with 24% more theoretical FP32 compute. FP32 compute is a theoretical peak that combines shader count and clock speed, a quick way to size up raw power. Bottom line for gpu & performance: the RTX 4070 Ti Super has the edge.
FP32 compute
RTX 4070 Super: 35.5 TFLOPS RTX 4070 Ti Super: 44.1 TFLOPS The RTX 4070 Ti Super has more theoretical compute, which often, but not always, translates into higher frame rates.
Shader units
RTX 4070 Super: 7,168 RTX 4070 Ti Super: 8,448 Treat shader count as a strong hint about performance tier, then check benchmarks for the games you actually play.
Memory
RTX 4070 Ti Super leads
In the memory category, the RTX 4070 Ti Super isn’t just ahead; it’s clearly ahead. The RTX 4070 Ti Super brings 4 GB more VRAM. At high resolutions or with texture packs, running out of VRAM can hurt more than a small speed gap. Anyone shopping mainly on memory should start with the RTX 4070 Ti Super.
VRAM
RTX 4070 Super: 12 GB RTX 4070 Ti Super: 16 GB More VRAM lets the card hold higher-resolution textures and bigger scenes without stutter.
Memory bandwidth
RTX 4070 Super: 504 GB/s RTX 4070 Ti Super: 672 GB/s Bandwidth needs vary by architecture, so compare it alongside VRAM and cache rather than on its own.
Features
There isn’t a number to compare on features, just names. Look at the rows below to see how the RTX 4070 Super and the RTX 4070 Ti Super differ.
Power & Thermals
RTX 4070 Super leads
This is one of the RTX 4070 Super’s strongest areas. On power & thermals, the RTX 4070 Ti Super falls well short. The RTX 4070 Super has the edge with 65 W lower board power. Higher board power often comes with higher performance, so the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s appetite may be part of the price of its speed. The power & thermals verdict goes to the RTX 4070 Super.
Total board power
RTX 4070 Super: 220 W RTX 4070 Ti Super: 285 W The RTX 4070 Super draws less power, which makes it easier to cool in compact cases.
Recommended PSU
RTX 4070 Super: 650 W RTX 4070 Ti Super: 700 W The recommended power supply tells you whether your current PSU can handle the card without an upgrade.
