Nvidia says the RTX 5070 is as fast as the RTX 4090 — let’s look at the specs
- Nvidia recently announced their new RTX 50-series GPUs claiming double the performance with the RTX 5090 and saying that the more modest RTX 5070 could equal the performance of the last-generation RTX 4090.
- The RTX 4090 debuted in October 2022 and has an eye-watering price tag of $1,600 and is sold out almost everywhere. In contrast, the RTX 5070 will be released in late February with a suggested retail price of $550.
- On paper, the RTX 5070 has a third less memory bandwidth, half the physical memory, and barely a third of the CUDA core count with comparable boost clock speeds than the RTX 4090.
- However, Nvidia’s claims largely center around the enhanced support for AI-driven upscaling using the latest generation of Tensor cores, with the RTX 5070 featuring multi-frame generation.
- Until testing is done, it is unclear how good this next-generation card is or how it stacks up against the RTX 4090, but Nvidia’s slides suggest that the RTX 5070 may be less than 20% faster than the RTX 4070.
- Numerous factors, including DLSS 4 support and its new architecture, process node, and DLSS-heavy marketing, make it challenging to say for sure how good the RTX 5070 really is.
- It seems unlikely that the RTX 5070 can match the RTX 4090's performance in most games, and heavy multi-frame generation can introduce latency issues and visual artifacts unlikely to be loved by everyone.
- Nonetheless, the RTX 5070's reduced power usage and new architecture might enable it to close the performance gap with the RTX 4090, making it appropriate for small form-factor gaming PCs.
- If you're currently using the RTX 4090, it is unlikely that the RTX 5070 will measure up to its performance, so beware of the FOMO of a new generation.
- Wait for real-world testing to settle this performance debate until the RTX 5070 is released next month.
