See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce RTX 4070

2023

Why buy it

  • 20.1% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $2,400 less on MSRP ($599 MSRP vs $2,999 MSRP).
  • Delivers 571.3% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 44.9 vs 6.7 G3D/$ ($599 MSRP vs $2,999 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • Better long-term bet: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 13.9% longer card at 304mm vs 267mm.

TITAN V

2017

Why buy it

  • Measures 267mm instead of 304mm, a 37mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 4070 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • 2017 hardware with 12 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 400.7% HIGHER MSRP
    $2,999 MSRPvs$599 MSRP
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 6.7 vs 44.9 G3D/$ ($2,999 MSRP vs $599 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 4070 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 20.1% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 34.1% in PassMark G3D (26,919 vs 20,077), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 4070 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer feature stack, with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while TITAN V is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 5nm process instead of 12nm, 46 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2023 generation instead of 2017. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 4070 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $2,400 cheaper on MSRP at $599 vs $2,999, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 571.3% (44.9 vs 6.7), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the GeForce RTX 4070 is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The TITAN V does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce RTX 4070 gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The TITAN V leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
