Yes. The NVIDIA RTX 5070 is about 14% faster overall, averaging roughly NaN FPS versus NaN FPS for the NVIDIA RTX 4070 at 1440p with optimized settings across popular games.
About 14% faster on average. The exact gap varies by game and resolution — heavier, GPU-bound games show the biggest difference.
A 14% jump is a small step up — usually not worth the cost on its own.
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.
