What does this comparison mean?
The 4070 is far beyond the GTX 1070's benchmark result and adds 4GB. An older used-card owner should also check board power and fit.
GTX 1070 8GB has 8GB and RTX 4070 12GB has 12GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
GTX 1070 8GB
The GTX 1070 brought performance near the previous Titan X into a far more accessible Pascal tier. Its 8GB configuration and efficient design helped it become a durable comparison point for later mid-range cards.
RTX 4070 12GB
The RTX 4070 offered Ada efficiency and 12GB memory in a more approachable 70-class card. Its restrained power draw gave it a practical identity, although the later 4070 Super made the original position less clear-cut.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage above compares the higher model average with the lower one; the score scales every model against the fastest GPU in the current dataset, which scores 100. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS, and the percentage may change with the benchmark dataset.
