What does this comparison mean?

The 4070 is substantially quicker here than the 2070 Super and moves from 8GB to 12GB. This is a multi-generation upgrade rather than a minor tier shuffle.

RTX 2070 Super 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

RTX 2070 Super 8GB

The 2070 Super gave Turing's upper-middle range a more compelling balance of speed and features. It carried more of the original RTX promise without needing the 2080 Ti's flagship positioning.

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.
