Introduction: The RTX 5070 Debate
In the exciting world of computers, NVIDIA’s new RTX 5070 has caused quite a stir. But not everyone is happy about it. NVIDIA said the RTX 5070 is as good as the much pricier RTX 4090. This made many people talk and argue about it. Let’s find out if the RTX 5070 is really as good as NVIDIA claims.
What NVIDIA Said vs. What’s Really Happening
NVIDIA’s boss, Jensen Huang, said 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 it, the RTX 5070 couldn’t keep up with the RTX 4090 in many games.
In a video, the RTX 4090 played a hard game called “Indiana Jones” at the highest level (4K) without any problems, getting an average of 139 frames per second[2]. The RTX 5070, however, had a hard time keeping up and playing smoothly. This isn’t just about how fast they are; it’s also about how they use memory and how quickly they respond. The RTX 4090 is much better at this[2].
How They Compare in Tests
When people tested the RTX 5070 and RTX 4090, the RTX 4090 won every time. For example, in a test called 4K RT Overdrive mode with DLSS performance, the RTX 4090 got 72 frames per second, while the RTX 5070 only got 38[2]. That’s a big difference – the RTX 4090 is 89% faster!
Even when playing games at lower levels (like 1440p), the RTX 4090 is still much better. It plays faster and responds quicker than the RTX 5070[2]. This is important for people who like to play games quickly without using special tricks.
What People Think About the RTX 5070
People have different opinions about the RTX 5070. Some think it’s good because it’s not too expensive and works well for its price. But others think NVIDIA tricked them by saying the RTX 5070 is as good as the RTX 4090[1][5]. They think NVIDIA should have been more honest about how good the RTX 5070 really is.
So, Was NVIDIA’s Promise Too Good to Be True?
In the end, the RTX 5070 is a good mid-range computer part, but NVIDIA’s claim that it’s as good as the RTX 4090 is causing a lot of trouble. The RTX 4090 is much better, especially when playing hard games. It’s more expensive, but it’s worth it if you want the best performance. If you’re on a budget, the RTX 5070 is still a good choice, but it’s not as good as the RTX 4090, like NVIDIA said it would be.
