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 4090 currently lists from $504 SEK, $10,677 SEK less than the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER at $11,182 SEK. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4090 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 3613%. The GeForce RTX 4090 is trading below its $1,599 SEK MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER still sits about $10,583 SEK above its $599 SEK 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?
The GeForce RTX 4090 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER if you find it at a steep discount.
