3. VRAM: Both cards support 16GB of video memory, though the RTX 4070 Ti Super uses GDDR6X memory instead of the standard GDDR6. Both have a bus width of 256 bits.
4. TDP: The TDP of the RX 9070 is around 220 watts while the RTX 4070 Ti Super is rated for a TDP of 285 watts.
5. Supported Technologies: Ray-tracing and the quality of upscaling are better on the RTX 4070 Ti Super, but both cards are more or less matched in terms of feature set.

We’ve tested the RX 9700 XT against the RTX 4070 Ti, and it was a huge win for the AMD card, at least when it came to the rasterization performance. What happens if we tip the scales in favor of Nvidia a bit? Keep reading the RX 9070 Vs RTX 4070 Ti Super comparison to find out!

Gaming Benchmarks – 4K

The following section will analyze how these cards perform when it comes to 4K gaming in a variety of games and scenarios, ranging from rasterization to RT. We used a measured test bench to check these cards out, the specs of which you can take a look at below:

• The minimums followed suit, though to a lesser extent. The RTX 4070 Ti had a framerate of 30 FPS, while the RX 9070 hovered closer to a minimum framerate of 26 FPS.

Cyberpunk 2077

• AMD’s RX 9070 pulled slightly ahead for the first time in our testing with Cyberpunk 2077, averaging 61 FPS, which was 7.02% better than the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s 57 FPS.
• 1% lows were about 49 FPS on the RTX 4070 Ti Super, which was about 6% lower than the 52 FPS that the RX 9070 got as its minimum.

Space Marine 2

• Our two cards got closer in terms of averages in War Hammar 40K: Space Marine 2, with the RTX 4070 Ti Super averaging 59 FPS, just 7.27% ahead of the RX 9070’s 55 FPS.
• The lows showed the same pattern, with the RTX 4070 Ti Super maintaining 49 FPS, while the RX 9070 sat at 46 FPS, a 6.52% difference.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

• The RX 9070 got a framerate of 62 FPS in this test, which was its second win over the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s 57 FPS by around 9%.
• The minimum framerates stayed true to the lead of the RX 9070, with a framerate of 41 FPS on team red. The RTX 4070 Ti Super was about 11.81% behind, getting a framerate of 37 FPS.

Alan Wake 2 (RT)

• As we expected, the RTX 4070 Ti Super took the lead in RT, with the card getting a framerate of 28 FPS on average in Alan Wake. This was 155% higher than the 11 FPS of RX 9070.
• The lows showed an even more significant difference, with the RTX 4070 Ti Super at 22 FPS, while the RX 9070 managed just 8 FPS, marking a 175% performance gap.

Cyberpunk 2077 (RT)

• The RTX 4070 Ti Super took the lead here in our test of Cyberpunk 2077, hitting 41 FPS, which was 32.26% ahead of the RX 9070’s 31 FPS.
• To no one’s surprise, the lows were also better on the RTX 4070 Ti Super, with 32 FPS, compared to the RX 9070’s 26 FPS, leading to a difference of 23.08%.

Black Myth: Wukong (RT)

• The RTX 4070 Ti Super significantly outperformed the RX 9070 in Black Myth Wukong with RT, achieving 29 FPS, a staggering 262% higher than the RX 9070’s 8 FPS.
• The 1% lows reflected an even more drastic difference, with the RX 9070 falling to 5 FPS, while the RTX 4070 Ti Super stayed at 22 FPS, marking a 340% disparity.

 Productivity Benchmarks

Now that we have gone over how these cards perform in gaming scenarios, the next thing we’ll look at in this RX 9070 Vs RTX 4070 Ti Super comparison is how they perform in terms of productivity tests. We used the same test bench as a the one mentioned above for these tests.

UL Procyon

• Testing Llama 2 text generation in UL Procyon resulting in Nvidia wiping the floor with AMD. The RX 9070 had a performance of 2132 points, which was about 64% lower than the 2132 points of the RTX 4070 Ti Super.

Blender

• Nvidia’s lead continued when it came to Blender. The RTX 4070 Ti Super finished the Barbershop scene using Optix rendering in only 50 seconds, while the RX 9070 took 100% longer, finishing the render in 100 seconds.

Premiere Pro

• These cards were matched well in Premiere Pro section of the Pudget Systems test bench, with the RTX 4070 Ti Super getting a score of 12927 points, while the RX 9070 was 5.75% behind at around 12226 points.

Overall Performance

Average Framerate

The RTX 4070 Ti Super won in terms of average framerate, getting a 19% lead over the RX 9070. In rasterized games, it went back and forth. The RTX card would get a big win sometimes, but the RX 9070 countered it with a few smaller wins. Ray tracing, however, is very significantly better on the RTX 4070 Ti Super.

1% Lows

We saw the same trend in the 1% lows as the averages. Both cards went back and forth when it came to the rasterized games, whereas the RTX 4070 Ti Super was miles better in terms of ray tracing. This led to the Nvidia card winning by about 16.67% on average in this section.

Productivity 

Nvidia took the cake in the productivity section as well, with a huge lead when it came to the AI test, as well as 3D rendering. Video editing seemed very similar on these cards, but the RTX 4070 Ti Super had a 5.75% lead in that as well. AMD lags behind in all the productivity tests we performed.

Power Consumption

In our gaming tests, the RTX 4070 Ti Super took more power than the RX 9070, which is rare to see. The Nvidia card led by about 20.6%. The occasional spikes in power consumption were also higher on the GeForce card by about 17.6% against AMD’s efforts.

Price And Value

The price of the RX 9070 is currently almost twice as much as its MSRP, but it still is much cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti Super. Though the current situation of the market means that neither card is a good deal, the 61% price hike on the RTX 4070 Ti Super against the RX 9070 makes the latter seem like one.

What We Recommend

RX 9070: We live in times of mediocre releases and absurd price hikes, but the RX 9070 aims to rectify this. It performs very well for its MSRP. AMD has made significant improvements when it comes to RT, but it still falls behind Nvidia and the same could be said for its productivity performance.

RTX 4070 Ti Super: If this card had been discounted because of its age instead of scalped to oblivion, the RTX 4070 Ti Super might’ve competed well with the RX 9070. However, with the current state of the market, we can’t recommend this card unless you absolutely need its extra performance.

For most users, the RX 9070 is the better choice, offering strong performance at a much lower price. The RTX 4070 Ti Super isn’t worth it at current prices unless you specifically need its extra power.
