51Score
$98612 GB250 WIndex 51 at 1440p
A solid 1440p card with the full DLSS 4 feature set, held back by a 12 GB memory pool that is merely adequate rather than comfortable for a card expected to last several years.
RTX 5070 vs RTX 4070 SUPER
A question for anyone who already owns the older card: is the new one worth the upgrade? On estimated performance the two are level, and the RTX 5070 launched $50 cheaper. What separates them is the generation of features and how each is likely to age.

64Score
$599MSRP12 GB220 WIndex 50 at 1440p
A well-balanced 1440p card of the previous generation, essentially matched by the RTX 5070 which replaced it. Only compelling at a clear discount.
RTX 4070 SUPER comes out ahead of RTX 5070.
The score blends performance at 1440p (50%), performance per dollar (30%) and memory headroom (20%), each against every card CompareYourGPU tracks. Fewer than three points apart counts as level. How verdicts are calculated.

RTX 4070 SUPER
$599MSRP
Launch MSRP in US dollars, as set by the manufacturer at release. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today. The Amazon store the link opens depends on your location and charges in its own currency (US dollars, euros or pounds): expect a different figure there, and treat that page as the authority on what the card actually costs.
This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.

Which one should you buy?
The short version: the RTX 5070 is faster, but the RTX 4070 SUPER offers better value at the prices on record. Which of those matters more is the decision.
Based on the specifications, estimated performance indices and prices on record for these cards. How verdicts are calculated.
Maximum performance
Highest estimated performance index at 1440p of the cards compared here, at 51. It is the right answer if frame rate is the only thing you are optimising for.
Best value
Delivers the most performance per dollar of the cards compared, at $599. Choose this if the difference in price matters more to you than the difference in frame rate.
Ray tracing
Strongest ray-traced performance here, with an estimated ray tracing index of 48 at 1440p. It also carries DLSS 4 Super Resolution, which is how ray tracing becomes practical.
Memory headroom
Carries 12 GB, the most headroom of the cards compared at 1440p. Memory is usually what dates a card before raw speed does.
Small or quiet builds
Best performance per watt of the cards compared, drawing 220 W. That means less heat, quieter fans and less pressure on your power supply.
Best overall
Best balance of speed, price and memory of the cards compared: 50% performance at 1440p, 30% performance per dollar, 20% memory headroom. Not necessarily the fastest.
RTX 5070 vs RTX 4070 SUPER: common questions
Is the RTX 5070 faster than the RTX 4070 Super?
Barely. CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index is 51 against 50, a gap under 3% that the comparison table calls level. If you already own a 4070 Super, the speed gain does not justify an upgrade.
What does the RTX 5070 add?
Faster GDDR7 memory and DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, which the older card lacks; it supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation instead. Both have 12 GB, so capacity is no reason to switch. The RTX 4070 Super is also discontinued, which makes the new card the easier one to find.
Which draws less power?
The RTX 4070 Super, at 220 W against the RTX 5070's 250 W, so it is the slightly more efficient card at similar speed.
