GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 5090 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 5090 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has a significantly lower TDP at 220 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5090 at 575 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 5090 over the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER.
