About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2019. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU106) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 2070 Max-Q has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 384 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 2070 Max-Q includes 2,304 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 885 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,185 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 144 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 288 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 36 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 90 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 2070 Max-Q has the 105th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 21.12% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2024 with a MSRP of $599. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD104) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 4070 SUPER has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, with a 1,313 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 504.2 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 4070 SUPER includes 7,168 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,980 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,475 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 224 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 80 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 224 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 56 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 4070 SUPER occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports 1x HDMI 2.1, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 220 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 4070 SUPER has the 11th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 65.37% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 68,373 score and $599 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 114.15. This is the 11th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
