Performance comparison: which is faster?
GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (NVIDIA, 2023) and GeForce RTX 5070 (NVIDIA, 2025) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: nearly equal
Both have 12GB of VRAM, so they support a similar range of generative AI models. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | RTX 4070 Ti | RTX 5070 |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 28,000 | 28,000 |
| VRAM | 12GB | 12GB |
| Manufacturer | NVIDIA | NVIDIA |
| Series | RTX 40 | RTX 50 |
| Release Year | 2023 | 2025 |
| Compatible CPU Example | Core i7-13700K | Core i7-13700K |
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | RTX 4070 Ti |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | RTX 4070 Ti |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | RTX 4070 Ti (the lower model is often sufficient) |
Their scores are nearly identical (RTX 4070 Ti: 28000 points / RTX 5070: 28000 points). In this case, compare price, VRAM, and power draw.
Both have 12GB of VRAM, so the range of generative AI models they can run is nearly the same.
Using our guideline, Core i7-13700K pairs well with RTX 4070 Ti and Core i7-13700K with RTX 5070 (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
