Performance Per Dollar
Why is GeForce RTX 5090 D better than GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER?
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D represents the pinnacle of graphics technology, offering a significant performance leap over the enthusiast-class RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. While the 4070 Ti SUPER is a powerhouse for 4K gaming with its 16GB of GDDR6X and 8,448 CUDA cores, the RTX 5090 D nearly triples the core count to 21,760 and doubles the memory to 32GB of ultra-fast GDDR7.
Architecturally, the Blackwell-based 5090 D introduces a massive 512-bit memory bus, which obliterates the 256-bit bus of the 4070 Ti SUPER, making it ideally suited for the most demanding 8K workloads and generative AI tasks. The 5090 D also features improved ray tracing cores and tensor cores that leverage Blackwell’s architectural efficiency, providing a much smoother experience in path-traced titles.
For enthusiasts seeking the absolute best performance that money can buy, the RTX 5090 D is the clear standout choice. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER remains an excellent high-end card for premium 4K gaming, but for users who require over double the VRAM and world-class compute power, the 5090 D exists in a category of its own.
