4070 vs 5070 graphics card

RTX 4070 vs RTX 5070:–

As GPU enthusiasts look ahead to NVIDIA’s next generation, one big question looms: how will the RTX 5070 compare to the RTX 4070? While the 4070 has been a favourite for 1440p gaming and light 4K workloads, the upcoming 5070 promises performance improvements, better efficiency, and perhaps even a pricing surprise.

In this blog, we will compare the RTX 4070 and RTX 5070 based on known specs, rumours, and expected performance metrics.

1. Architecture Comparison

• RTX 4070: Based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, manufactured using TSMC’s 4nm process.
• RTX 5070: Expected to use the newer Blackwell architecture, rumoured to be on an even more efficient process (possibly TSMC 3nm or 4NP).

Verdict: Blackwell should bring better performance per watt, smarter AI features, and improved ray tracing.

2. Performance (Expected)

• RTX 4070: Excellent for 1440p gaming, capable of stable 60–100+ FPS in most modern games at ultra settings.
• RTX 5070: Expected to outperform the 4070 by 20–30%, possibly matching or surpassing the current RTX 4070 Ti.

Synthetic Benchmark (Estimated):

• 4070: ~30 TFLOPs
• 5070: ~40 TFLOPS (rumoured)

3. Ray Tracing and DLSS

• RTX 4070: Supports DLSS 3 with Frame Generation, already a game-changer in supported titles.
• RTX 5070: Will likely support DLSS 4 or an upgraded version of DLSS 3.5 with better frame generation and latency reduction.

Verdict: Expect smoother ray-traced visuals with improved AI upscaling on the 5070.

4. Power Consumption

• RTX 4070: 200w TDP, relatively efficient and easy to cool.
• RTX 5070: Likely to stay within a similar power envelope thanks to architectural improvements, while offering better performance.

5. Pricing and Availability

• RTX 4070 MSRP: $599 (often found slightly below MSRP now).
• RTX 5070 Expected MSRP: TBD, but likely $599–$649, depending on how NVIDIA positions the 50-series lineup.
