Comparison Conclusion

Overall, the performance gap between the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER and the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is significant. For instance, the latter’s CPU usage is nearly double throughout, its power consumption is generally higher by several dozen watts, yet its temperature is a few degrees lower.

Excluding the third game, based on the data from the other six games, the overall performance of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is approximately 2.7 times that of the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. This is the final conclusion of the article, for reference only.

In other words, upgrading from the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti can result in more than a 2.5× performance increase—a substantial improvement that makes the upgrade highly worthwhile.
