Introduction: The RTX 5070 Debate
NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 5070 has caused quite a stir in the world of computers. Some people are excited about it, but others are not happy. NVIDIA said that the RTX 5070 is as good as the much more expensive RTX 4090. This has started a big argument among people who love technology and reviewers. Let’s find out if the RTX 5070 is really as good as NVIDIA says it is.
The Claim and the Truth
NVIDIA’s boss, Jensen Huang, said that the RTX 5070 can work as well as the RTX 4090, but it costs much less, only $549[2]. He said this because of something called AI and a thing called DLSS 4, which helps the computer work faster. But when people tested the RTX 5070, it wasn’t as good as the RTX 4090 in many games.
In a video, the RTX 4090 played a hard game called “Indiana Jones” at the highest setting without any problems, getting an average of 139 frames per second[2]. The RTX 5070 had a hard time keeping up and didn’t play as smoothly. This isn’t just about how fast the computer works; it’s also about how much memory it uses and how quickly it responds. The RTX 4090 is much better at this[2].
How They Compare
When people tested the RTX 5070 and RTX 4090 in different games, the RTX 4090 was always better. For example, in a hard game mode at 4K, the RTX 4090 got 72 frames per second, and the RTX 5070 only got 38[2]. That’s a big difference! Even at lower settings, the RTX 4090 was still much faster and had lower latency than the RTX 5070[2]. This is important for people who want to play games really fast without using tricks to make the game look better.
What People Think
Some people like the RTX 5070 because it’s cheaper and still works pretty well for its price. But many people feel tricked by NVIDIA’s comparison to the RTX 4090[1][5]. They think NVIDIA shouldn’t have said the RTX 5070 is as good as the RTX 4090 because they’re not the same at all.
So, What’s the Verdict?
The RTX 5070 is a good mid-range computer part, but NVIDIA’s comparison to the RTX 4090 is not fair. The RTX 4090 is much better, especially when playing hard games. If you want the best, you should get the RTX 4090, even if it costs more. But if you’re on a budget, the RTX 5070 is still a good choice, just not as good as NVIDIA said it would be.
