About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2024 with a MSRP of $799. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD103) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory, with a 1,313 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 672.3 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 Ti SUPER includes 8,448 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,340 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,610 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 264 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 96 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 264 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 66 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a large graphics card, occupying 3 PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. With a thermal design power (TDP) of 285 W and a large, 3-slot size, it is recommended to use a power supply of 600 W and a case with sufficient space to accommodate the card. Compare your card's model and your case's dimensions to verify compatibility.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has the 7th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 71.54% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 74,834 score and $799 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 93.66. This is the 23rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q4 2019 with a MSRP of $169. It is built on the RDNA 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 14) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Memory

The RX 5500 XT has 4 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 224 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 RX 5500 XT includes 1,408 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,607 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,845 MHz. It usually operates at 1,717 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 88 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 5500 XT occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 130 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 5500 XT has the 116th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 18.64% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 19,499 score and $169 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 115.38. This is the 8th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
