GeForce RTX 5070 Ti vs NVIDIA RTX 4000 (Ada Generation), AI & Machine Learning Comparison
GeForce RTX 5070 Ti wins 5 of 11 benchmarks, averaging 87.5% faster.
Both cards were measured first-party on our bench, same suite, same test rig.
What the numbers say
The gap is widest in Llama 3.1 8B, where GeForce RTX 5070 Ti leads by 130% (153.23 vs 66.59 tok/s); the closest fight is LTX-Video (distilled) (25% apart); VRAM decides part of this one: NVIDIA RTX 4000 (Ada Generation) runs 6 of our 12 AI workloads while the other card runs 6, models that don't fit score zero.
