RTX 5070 Ti vs RTX 4070 Ti Super: Leaked 3DMark scores show comfortable win for RTX 50 GPU
From the specifications and pricing to the possible stock shortages, there is little that we don’t know about the RTX 5070 and the RTX 5070 Ti. However, the final performance of the RTX 5070/Ti is still a matter of debate. That said, since the official RTX 5070 Ti launch is almost upon us, performance leaks that now surface are bound to be quite accurate.
Courtesy of VideoCardz, we may now know the actual performance of the RTX 5070 Ti, as a bunch of 3DMark benchmark results of the GPU have now leaked. On the surface, the performance improvement shown by the RTX 5070 Ti appears to be pretty solid. However, the picture takes a turn for the worse when we consider the possible stock shortages and the purported price markups.
RTX 5070 Ti vs RTX 4070 Ti Super
Per VideoCardz, the RTX 5070 Ti is 16.6% ahead of the RTX 4070 Ti Super on average while falling 13.2% behind the RTX 5080. Naturally, individual 3DMark tests performed at different resolutions show higher/lower scores than the average. For instance, in the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra (4K), the RTX 5070 Ti seemingly beats the RTX 4070 Ti Super by as much as 25%. However, this difference is only 18% in the same test but at 1440p.
The figures leaked by VideoCardz are better than the ones leaked by Moore’s Law Is Dead where the leaker suggested a 5-10% rasterization improvement over the RTX 4070 Ti Super. However, synthetic results, while better for direct comparison with other GPUs, don’t reflect the actual gaming performance. So, the RTX 5070 Ti might end up faster or slower than what the 3DMark results suggest.
That said, a 16% improvement over the RTX 4070 Ti Super might not be as impressive as it sounds when we consider the possible stock shortages, the resulting prices, and the competition from the RX 9070 XT. Leaks have claimed that the launch supply of the RTX 5070 Ti is “Very limited” and that there might be some price shocks in store for buyers.
So, assuming the RTX 5070 Ti performs as mentioned, the GPU will only be worth recommending if there is actual supply at the $749 MSRP. Otherwise, it will be yet another underwhelming GPU launch by Nvidia.
