Yes. The NVIDIA RTX 4070 is about 37% faster overall, averaging roughly NaN FPS versus NaN FPS for the NVIDIA RTX 5060 at 1080p with optimized settings across popular games.
About 37% faster on average. The exact gap varies by game and resolution — heavier, GPU-bound games show the biggest difference.
A 37% jump is a moderate upgrade — worth it if you're chasing higher settings or frame rates. The NVIDIA RTX 4070 also carries more VRAM (12GB vs 8GB), which helps at higher resolutions and with high-res textures.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
