These differences point to the 4070 Ti having a substantial lead in rendering capabilities.

The 5060 Ti has a floating-point performance of 23.7 TFLOPS, while the 4070 Ti leads with 44.61 TFLOPS. In terms of GPU memory speed, the 5060 Ti operates at 1750 MHz, whereas the 4070 Ti has a slower memory speed of 1313 MHz. The 5060 Ti has 4608 shading units, compared to the 4070 Ti's 8448, a significant difference that further highlights the 4070 Ti's power. In terms of texture mapping units (TMUs), the 5060 Ti has 144, while the 4070 Ti has 264, also a considerable gap. Lastly, both cards feature 48 and 96 render output units (ROPs) respectively, with the 4070 Ti once again having double the ROPs. Both GPUs support Double Precision Floating Point (DPFP), indicating that both are capable of high-precision calculations for certain types of workloads.

The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Shadow 2X Plus 8GB has an effective memory speed of 28000 MHz, while the Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Infinity 3 OC operates at a lower effective memory speed of 21000 MHz. In terms of maximum memory bandwidth, the 5060 Ti offers 448 GB/s, which is lower than the 4070 Ti's 672 GB/s. This indicates that the 4070 Ti is capable of handling larger data streams more efficiently.

Both products feature the same amount of VRAM, with each offering 8GB of memory. However, the type of memory differs: the 5060 Ti uses GDDR7, while the 4070 Ti uses GDDR6X. The 4070 Ti also has a wider memory bus width of 256-bit, compared to the 5060 Ti's 128-bit memory bus width, which allows for more data to be transferred in parallel.

Both cards support ECC memory (Error Correcting Code), which ensures data integrity by detecting and correcting memory errors. While this feature is present in both products, the 4070 Ti's higher bandwidth, larger memory bus, and GDDR6X memory type suggest a potential advantage for handling more demanding applications.

Both the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Shadow 2X Plus 8GB and the Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Infinity 3 OC support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, ensuring compatibility with the latest graphics technologies. Both cards also support multi-display technology, ray tracing, and 3D content, providing a high level of versatility for gamers and professionals alike. Additionally, both support DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) for enhanced performance in supported games.

Neither card features XeSS (XMX) support, meaning neither offers Intel's AI-based upscaling technology. Both also include Intel Resizable BAR support, which allows for more efficient memory access and improved performance in certain workloads.

In terms of additional features, both cards lack RGB lighting and the LHR (Lite Hash Rate) limiter, meaning they can be fully utilized for gaming or mining purposes without restrictions. Both GPUs also support up to 4 displays, providing ample options for multi-monitor setups.

Both the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Shadow 2X Plus 8GB and the Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Infinity 3 OC are equipped with one HDMI output. The 5060 Ti uses HDMI 2.1b, while the 4070 Ti uses HDMI 2.1a, with the only difference being the HDMI version between the two products.

Both cards also feature three DisplayPort outputs, providing ample connectivity for multi-monitor setups. Neither product includes USB-C ports, DVI outputs, or mini DisplayPort outputs, so the connection options are limited to HDMI and DisplayPort.

Overall, both GPUs offer similar port configurations, with the key distinction being the slight version difference in their HDMI outputs.

The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Shadow 2X Plus 8GB is built on the Blackwell GPU architecture, while the Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Infinity 3 OC uses the newer Ada Lovelace architecture. The 5060 Ti has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 180W, which is lower than the 4070 Ti's 285W TDP, indicating that the 4070 Ti may require more power for its higher performance.

Both cards share the same 5 nm semiconductor size. The number of transistors differs significantly, with the 5060 Ti having 21,900 million transistors, while the 4070 Ti has 76,300 million, which reflects the more complex design of the 4070 Ti.

Both products use PCI Express (PCIe) version 5, and neither includes air-water cooling. In terms of physical size, the 5060 Ti is slightly shorter in height at 126 mm, compared to the 4070 Ti's 116 mm, but the 5060 Ti is wider at 226 mm, while the 4070 Ti is wider at 294 mm, making the 4070 Ti larger overall.
