RTX 5070 vs RTX 4070 Ti: Gaming Performance & Bottleneck (2026)

There is almost nothing between the RTX 5070 and RTX 4070 Ti. Paired with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, our model puts them at 101 vs 104 FPS at 1440p High, and within 3% of each other at 4K. At 1080p they're 3% apart too. With ray tracing on at 1440p they manage 59 and 61 FPS respectively, so plan on DLSS, FSR or XeSS upscaling. In esports games like CS2 or Valorant at 1080p they reach 445 and 454 FPS, so either can feed a 360 Hz monitor. At 4K High the RTX 5070 averages 61 FPS and the RTX 4070 Ti 63, both playable without upscaling. Both carry 12 GB of VRAM, enough for 4K High. With frame rates this close, price and the features you value should decide, not benchmarks. To stay under a 10% CPU bottleneck at 1440p, both need a Ryzen 5 5600 or faster.

Which should you buy?

On raster performance this is a coin toss, so buy whichever is cheaper where you shop.

Buy the RTX 5070 if…

  • you want the newer card (2025) with the longer driver and feature support ahead of it.
  • it costs at least 3% less than the RTX 4070 Ti, which makes it the better value per frame.

Buy the RTX 4070 Ti if…

  • you want the most FPS: it's 3% faster at 4K and 3% at 1440p.
  • you play with ray tracing: 61 vs 59 FPS at 1440p.

RTX 5070 vs RTX 4070 Ti: quick answers

Is the RTX 5070 faster than the RTX 4070 Ti?

They're within 3% of each other at 4K and 3% at 1440p, so in practice they perform the same. With ray tracing on at 1440p the RTX 5070 gets about 59 FPS and the RTX 4070 Ti 61 FPS.

How many FPS do the RTX 5070 and RTX 4070 Ti get?

With a Ryzen 7 9800X3D at High settings in AAA games, the RTX 5070 averages about 144 FPS at 1080p, 101 at 1440p and 61 at 4K. The RTX 4070 Ti averages 148, 104 and 63 FPS. DLSS, FSR or XeSS upscaling adds roughly 40% where the graphics card is the limit.

What CPU do I need for the RTX 5070 or RTX 4070 Ti?

To keep the CPU bottleneck under 10% at 1440p, the RTX 5070 needs at least a Ryzen 5 5600 and the RTX 4070 Ti needs at least a Ryzen 5 5600. At 1080p you need a faster CPU for the same result, and at 4K a slower one is fine.
