Key Differences
-
The RTX 5070 Ti has 33% more memory bandwidth
The RTX 4070 Ti Super gives up a lot on memory bandwidth: 672 GB/s, compared with 896 GB/s on the RTX 5070 Ti. Memory bandwidth decides how quickly the GPU can feed itself with data, which matters most at 1440p and 4K.
-
The RTX 5070 Ti has 6.1% more shader units
The RTX 5070 Ti wins this narrowly, 8,960 against 8,448, which makes it more of a bonus than a reason to buy. Shader units do most of the heavy lifting in games, so more of them usually means more frames per second within the same architecture.
-
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 15 W lower board power
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has a modest edge on total board power: 285 W against 300 W for the RTX 5070 Ti. Higher board power often comes with higher performance, so the RTX 5070 Ti’s appetite may be part of the price of its speed.
-
The RTX 5070 Ti has 6.1% more ray tracing units
It’s a small lead (70 versus 66), but it’s real, and it goes to the RTX 5070 Ti. More ray tracing units help keep frame rates up when ray-traced lighting, shadows and reflections are switched on.
-
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has a smaller 700 W PSU requirement
The RTX 5070 Ti isn’t far behind at 750 W, but the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s 700 W still comes out ahead. Recommendations include a safety margin for the rest of the system, so they’re a guide rather than a hard limit.
Design & Size
GPU & Performance
RTX 5070 Ti leads
By a small margin, the RTX 5070 Ti is the stronger of the two in this area. The RTX 5070 Ti gives you 6.1% more shader units. The RTX 5070 Ti’s extra shaders give it more raw muscle, although comparisons across different architectures aren’t one-to-one. The RTX 4070 Ti Super takes this one with a 6.4% higher boost clock. For gpu & performance, the RTX 5070 Ti is the one to beat.
Shader units
RTX 5070 Ti: 8,960 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.
Ray tracing units
RTX 5070 Ti: 70 RTX 4070 Ti Super: 66 If you enable ray tracing, the RTX 5070 Ti’s extra RT hardware should take less of a hit.
Memory
RTX 5070 Ti leads
The memory comparison is one-sided. The RTX 5070 Ti leads where it counts. The RTX 5070 Ti brings 33% more memory bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti has more bandwidth to work with, helping it hold up in memory-heavy games. Net result: the RTX 5070 Ti leads this part of the comparison.
Memory bandwidth
RTX 5070 Ti: 896 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.

Power & Thermals
RTX 4070 Ti Super leads
If you’re keeping score, the power & thermals point goes narrowly to the RTX 4070 Ti Super. On its side, the RTX 4070 Ti Super has 15 W lower board power. Lower board power means less heat, quieter cooling and a smaller impact on your electricity bill. So if power & thermals tops your list, lean toward the RTX 4070 Ti Super.
Total board power
RTX 5070 Ti: 300 W RTX 4070 Ti Super: 285 W The RTX 4070 Ti Super draws less power, which makes it easier to cool in compact cases.
Recommended PSU
RTX 5070 Ti: 750 W RTX 4070 Ti Super: 700 W The recommended power supply tells you whether your current PSU can handle the card without an upgrade.
