5. Supported Technologies: The newer RTX 5070 Ti uses DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, 5th gen Tensor cores and 4th gen RT cores, whereas the RTX 4070 Ti Super come with DLSS 3, 4th-gen Tensor Cores, and 3rd-gen RT cores.

The RTX 5070 Ti is released but it’s nothing short of a disappointment, especially when we compare it to the RTX 5080. Today, we decided to compare it to its closest predecessor, the RTX 4070 Ti Super, to see if it is worth the upgrade. 

Gaming Benchmarks – 1440p

On paper, the RTX 5070 Ti seems like a reasonable upgrade to the RTX 4070 Ti Super. But to put its specifications into perspective, testing them in the real world is important, so here are the gaming benchmarks. All of these tested on the same test bench, with the highest settings, and on 1440p.

Recommended Test Bench

• CPU – AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• Mobo – MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi 
• RAM – G. Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6400 CL30

• Storage – XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE 2TB NVMe SSD
• Power Supply – MSI MAG A1000GL ATX 3.1 80+ Gold
• Operating System – Windows 11

Marvel Rivals

• For the first game, we saw that the RTX 5070 Ti pushed with its average of 95 FPS in Marvel Rivals. To put into perspective, this was 15.9% better than the RTX 4070 Ti Super, which obtained an average of 81 FPS. 
• In terms of the 1% lows, the RTX 5070 Ti was also ahead with its average of 61 FPS whereas the RTX 4070 Ti Super averaged 50 FPS, resulting in a 19.8% margin between the two cards. 

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

• In this game, the performance difference was only 1.6% where the RTX 5070 Ti was in the lead with its average of 64 FPS. In contrast, the RTX 4070 Ti Super pushed with 63 FPS, resulting in a neck-to-neck performance.
• The difference in the 1% lows were also insignificantly low as the RTX 5070 Ti performed with an average of 52 FPS, while the RTX 4070 Ti Super averaged 51 FPS, making for a 1.9% margin only.

Hogwarts Legacy

• In Hogwarts Legacy, the RTX 5070 Ti displayed its dominance with an average of 125 FPS, which was 11% better than that obtained from the RTX 4070 Ti Super, which was 112 FPS. 
• As far as the 1% lows are concerned, the difference wasn’t as much as it was in the frame rates, at only 7.5%. The RTX 5070 Ti and the RTX 4070 Ti Super averaged 69 FPS and 64 FPS, respectively. 

A Plague Tale Requiem

• With a staggering margin of 17.9%, we saw that the RTX 5070 Ti performed the best here out of all the games with its 122 FPS. In contrast, the RTX 4070 Ti Super was behind with its average of 102 FPS. 
• We also noticed that the 1% lows were also in favor of the RTX 5070 Ti as it acquired an average of 98 FPS, which as 15.4% higher than the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s average of 84 FPS. 

Star Wars Outlaws

• In Star Wars Outlaws, the margin settled to almost a tie again as the RTX 4070 Ti Super pushed with its 60 FPS. However, the RTX 5070 Ti was still 4.9% better with its average of 63 FPS. 
• Similar to the frame rates, the 1% lows were also on the lower end as the RTX 5070 Ti obtained an average of 54 FPS whereas the RTX 4070 Ti Super averaged 51 FPS, being 5.7% behind. 

Starfield 

• Here, the RTX 5070 Ti displayed an 8.6% boost over the RTX 4070 Ti Super as it achieved an average of 85 FPS. On the contrary, the RTX 4070 Ti Super performed with an average of 78 FPS. 
• Unlike the framerates margin, the 1% lows margin was quite high. Precicely the RTX 5070 Ti showcased 16.1% better minimums as it averaged 74 FPS over the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s 63 FPS. 

Cyberpunk 2077

• Much like Starflied, the RTX 5070 Ti was 8.4% better than the RTX 4070 Ti Super in Cuberpunk 2077 with its average of 124 FPS. In comparison, the RTX 4070 Ti Super acquired an average of 114 FPS in this game.
• Speaking of the 1% lows, the RTX 5070 Ti performed with lows reaching to 109 FPS whereas the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s dips reached to 100 FPS. This makes the RTX 5070 Ti precisely 8.6% better than its rival regarding the 1% lows. 

Dragon Age: The Veilguard

• This last game fascinated us because the RTX 4070 Ti Super redeemed itself by averaging 92 FPS. In this game, the RTX 4070 Ti Super was 3.3% ahead of the RTX 5070 Ti, which averaged 89 FPS 
• As for the 1% lows, the RTX 4070 Ti Super still held the top place with its average of 77 FPS while the RTX 5070 Ti performed with 74 FPS. This makes the RTX 4070 Ti Super 4% better than the RTX 5070 in this game.

Productivity Benchmarks

Now that we’re done with the gaming benchmarks, it is time to move onto another equally important benchmark test: Productivity. For some users, this section is either a deal-maker or a deal-breaker. Let’s see whether the RTX 5070 Ti showcases a larger difference than the RTX 4070 Ti Super. 

Adobe Premiere Pro

• In Adobe Premiere Pro, the RTX 5070 Ti scored 10,635 points, which was evidently higher than its rival. In contrast, the RTX 4070 Ti Super performed with a score of 9,800 points, being 8.2% behind in this software.

Blender 4.0

• After rendering on Blender, the RTX 5070 Ti displayed a score of 7,872 points, which was exactly 7% higher than the RTX 4070 Ti Super, which obtained a score of 7,340 points. 

Topaz Video AI

• In terms of AI video upscaling, the RTX 4070 Ti Super was the winner as it obtained a score of 545 points. This makes the RTX 4070 Ti Super 12.3% better than the RTX 5070 Ti, which scored only 482 points. 

Overall Gaming Performance

Average Framerate

According to our calculations, the RTX 5070 Ti stood out as the winner. On average, it showed 8.8% better performance in 1440p gaming than the RTX 4070 Ti Super, which had the lead in all games except for one. For most single-player games, it exceeded 100 FPS, which also makes it better for 4K in those games. 

1% Lows

As far as the 1% lows are concerned, the RTX 5070 Ti still remained the victor. It displayed precisely 9% better minimum framerates as compared to the RTX 4070 Ti Super. Similar to the average frame rates, it was ahead of the RTX 4070 Ti Super in all games except for one. 

Productivity

In terms of productivity, the RTX 5070 Ti was 7.1% better than the RTX 4070 Ti Super. It performed significantly well in video editing and rendering. Since Topaz AI is currently not updated for the 50-series, the RTX 5070 Ti lagged quite a bit in that area, but that will change after it is updated.  

Power Consumption

As for the power consumption, the RTX 5070 Ti was the clear victor. Despite having a slightly higher TDP, our calculations show that the RTX 5070 Ti was 5.9% more power-efficient than the RTX 4070 Ti Super. However, this difference is too insignificant to account for anything. They even have similar idle power consumption. 

Price And Availability

As of early March 2025, the RTX 5070 Ti is 43.3% cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti Super. This might seem like a good deal, but we’ve taken the average price from 15 variants. The price of some RTX 5070 Ti variants exceeds the average price of the RTX 4070 Ti Super. Mind you, this is just the beginning of its price hike.

Final Verdict—What We Recommend?

RTX 4070 Ti Super: This is a great card on its own and it stood the test of time perfectly. Even with its older specifications, it showcased great performance. However, the most main issue for us is its high price. If all of which is being offered came with a reasonable price, this would’ve been an excellent card. 

RTX 5070 Ti: This new release is still somewhat of a disappointment. Previously, newer cards offered significant improvements over their predecessors, but in this case, it only showed a slight edge from the RTX 4070 Ti Super. It would’ve been a great release had it shown higher performance in this same price tag.

Despite our general resentment towards the RTX 5070 Ti, we recommend it over the RTX 4070 Ti Super as it offers more. Even when its price will match the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s price, it’ll still be a more reasonable choice. However, if you already own an RTX 4070 Ti Super, upgrading to the RTX 5070 Ti may not be worth it.
