Key Differences
-
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 4 GB more VRAM
At 16 GB versus 12 GB, this is a decisive lead for the RTX 4070 Ti Super, the kind of difference you notice without looking for it. At high resolutions or with texture packs, running out of VRAM can hurt more than a small speed gap.
-
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 33% more memory bandwidth
If memory bandwidth is one of your priorities, this settles it: the RTX 4070 Ti Super leads clearly with 672 GB/s to the RTX 4070 Ti’s 504 GB/s. Memory bandwidth decides how quickly the GPU can feed itself with data, which matters most at 1440p and 4K.
-
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 10% more theoretical FP32 compute
Small gaps can still matter over time, and here the RTX 4070 Ti Super leads 44.1 TFLOPS to 40.1 TFLOPS. Architectures use their compute differently, so treat the gap as a guide and look at game benchmarks for the details.
-
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 10% more shader units
The difference is minor (8,448 against 7,680), but if you’re splitting hairs, the RTX 4070 Ti Super wins it. 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 a wider 256-bit memory bus
The numbers aren’t close. The RTX 4070 Ti Super lists 256-bit for memory bus, while the RTX 4070 Ti lists 192-bit. Large on-chip caches can make up for a narrower bus, so bandwidth is the more telling number.
Design & Size
GPU & Performance
RTX 4070 Ti Super leads
This is one of the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s strongest areas. On gpu & performance, the RTX 4070 Ti falls well short. The RTX 4070 Ti Super steps ahead thanks to 10% 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. Anyone shopping mainly on gpu & performance should start with the RTX 4070 Ti Super.
FP32 compute
RTX 4070 Ti: 40.1 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 Ti: 7,680 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
The RTX 4070 Ti Super wins the memory section decisively. Point to the RTX 4070 Ti Super for 4 GB more VRAM. More VRAM lets the card hold higher-resolution textures and bigger scenes without stutter. Prioritize memory, and the RTX 4070 Ti Super is where you should land.
VRAM
RTX 4070 Ti: 12 GB RTX 4070 Ti Super: 16 GB Newer games tend to ask for more video memory, so the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s extra VRAM helps the card age better.
Memory bandwidth
RTX 4070 Ti: 504 GB/s RTX 4070 Ti Super: 672 GB/s The RTX 4070 Ti Super has more bandwidth to work with, helping it hold up in memory-heavy games.

Power & Thermals
Too close to call
On power & thermals, the RTX 4070 Ti and the RTX 4070 Ti Super are effectively level. Either card will serve you equally well on power & thermals.
