Very positive impressions for the 5070 vs the 4090. IF using frame gen and implemented well.
However, Nvidia also stressed that Marvel Rivals is an outlier here, and in most games, the two GPUs are level in terms of performance (as long as they support multi frame gen) – it's just that Marvel Rivals responds particularly well to frame generation.
In action, I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the two systems, and I played the game for several minutes on both of them. Whatever magic Nvidia has worked with multi frame gen (and we'll be able to talk more about that at a later date), it works surprisingly well, at least in this title. The game was smooth and responsive, and I couldn't see any notable glitches on the RTX 5070 system. This $549 GPU can genuinely offer a 4090-level experience in a game that's well optimized for it.
And therein lies the catch. If a game doesn't support multi frame gen, then the RTX 4090 will be significantly faster than the RTX 5070, as the underlying GPU has so much more raw horsepower. It also has twice as much VRAM available, with the RTX 5070's meager 12GB locking it out of some of the high settings you can enable on the RTX 4090 at 4K, even if you enable frame gen.

I just tested the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, and yes it can beat the RTX 4090, but there's a big catch
It's RTX 5070 vs 4090, and the new $549 gaming GPU beats the former flagship graphics card in Marvel Rivals, but with a big catch.www.pcgamesn.com
Complete fluff piece, while we should all wait for proper benchmarks and 3rd party reviews to properly gague the performance of the 5070, trying to say with a straight face that the 5070 is as fast as a 4090 because you doubled the fake frames is just retarded.
Honestly, is this a paid fluff piece?
