GeForce RTX 4090 vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 4090 vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

The GeForce RTX 4090 is dramatically faster, around 67% ahead of the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4090 is comfortable at 4K and high-refresh 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is better matched to 4K with upscaling and native 1440p. The GeForce RTX 4090 packs 16,384 CUDA cores versus 7,168 on the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. The GeForce RTX 4090 also has more RT cores (128 vs 56) and more AI cores (512 vs 224), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.

Price & Value

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER currently lists from $679 EUR, $2,811 EUR less than the GeForce RTX 4090 at $3,490 EUR. Despite being slower, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER offers the better performance-per-dollar (~207% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER still sits about $80 EUR above its $599 EUR MSRP. The GeForce RTX 4090 still sits about $1,891 EUR above its $1,599 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

At 220W against 450W, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The GeForce RTX 4090 carries 24GB versus 12GB on the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. The extra 12GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce RTX 4090's memory is also faster — 1,008 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 2 years newer than the GeForce RTX 4090, so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER or GeForce RTX 4090?

Choose the GeForce RTX 4090 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 4090 better than the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 4090 is dramatically faster, roughly 67% ahead. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER or the GeForce RTX 4090?

The GeForce RTX 4090 is the better 4K option — it's comfortable at 4K and high-refresh 1440p, and its 24GB of VRAM helps with 4K textures.

Is the GeForce RTX 4090 worth the extra $2,811 EUR over the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER comes out ahead.

Does the GeForce RTX 4090 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 24GB (vs 12GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.

Which is better for ray tracing, the GeForce RTX 4090 or the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER?

Both handle ray tracing, but the GeForce RTX 4090 has more RT cores, giving it better ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance than the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER.
