Graphics Performance
The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER scores 29,958 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Enthusiast tier as a Recent generation graphics card. It is built on the Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) architecture (codename: AD104), manufactured on a 5 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 7168 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 224 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 80 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 35.48 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2475 MHz from a base of 1980 MHz.
