A deep look and Benchmark Comparison review on the Nvidia RTX 4070 vs RTX 4090
As you are all aware, the Lovelace 4000 series graphics cards are the second generation of RTX and Raytracing to follow the initial Turning graphics cards, which were launched in 2018. Well, the Turning cards from Nvidia have made it possible for artists and developers to incorporate real-time Raytracing into their games since the effects and results are amazing.
So, if you are looking for some superior and accelerated Graphics cards and you are confused. Don’t worry here are we with a brief Benchmark comparison of the Nvidia RTX 4070 and RTX 4090, and which one to choose.
All you need to know about RTX 4070 and RTX 4090:
First launched on 12th October 2022, RTX 4090 uses Nvidia Lovelace Architecture. Well, on the other hand, RTX 4070 also uses Nvidia Lovelace Architecture and is likely going to be released in earlier 2023.

The main differentiation of Clock Speeds (Base and Boost):
The RTX 4070 has a Base Clock Speed of 2310 MHz, on the other hand, RTX 4090’s Base Clock Speed is 2235 MHz, which is 75 MHz or 3% slower than the RTX 4070.
The RTX 4070 has a Boost Clock Speed of 2610 MHz and additionally, RTX 4090’s Boost Clock Speed is 2520 MHz which is 90 MHz or 3% slower than RTX 4070.
Conclusion:
Well, both graphics cards are highly optimized and good to go, but the Clock Speeds of the RTX 4070 surpass the Clock Speeds of the RTX 4090 by 3%. This makes RTX 4070 better because- a processor with higher clock speeds will mainly outperform a processor with a lower clock speed across many applications.
