Both fit the same models we track, up to gpt-oss 20B. The RTX 4070 Ti Super generates about 5% faster on any model both can run, because it has 672 GB/s of memory bandwidth to the RX 9070's 640 GB/s.
Memory and bandwidth
Memory decides which models fit. Bandwidth decides how fast they generate, because every token reads the model's active weights once.

The RTX 4070 Ti Super, for speed. They fit the same models. Price matters as much as either number: check used prices on the builds page, where every parts list has a measured or estimated speed.
Both columns use the same formula: memory bandwidth divided by the weights read per token, calibrated on our own rack, with Ollama's default 4-bit sizes. Real results are usually within about a third. Measured either one? Send us the number.
