GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3090: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 3090
The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is marginally faster, around 7% ahead of the GeForce RTX 3090. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 3090 is better matched to 1440p.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER draws just 220W versus 350W for the GeForce RTX 3090, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Ada Lovelace architecture on a TSMC N4 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 24GB against 12GB, the GeForce RTX 3090 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER's 12GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 3090's memory is also faster — 936 GB/s versus 504 GB/s (384-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce RTX 3090 (Ada Lovelace vs Ampere), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
