In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia Titan RTX are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP!.

The GTX 1070 has a 257 MHz higher core clock speed than the Titan RTX, but the Titan RTX has 168 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1070. As a result, the Titan RTX exhibits a 196 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 1070. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The GTX 1070 has a 257 MHz higher core clock speed than the Titan RTX, but the Titan RTX has 32 more Render Output Units than the GTX 1070. As a result, the Titan RTX exhibits a 26.8 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GTX 1070. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The Titan RTX was released over a year more recently than the GTX 1070, and so the Titan RTX is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 1070.

Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.

The Titan RTX has 16384 MB more video memory than the GTX 1070, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the Titan RTX also has superior memory performance overall.

The Titan RTX has 415.7 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1070, which means that the memory performance of the Titan RTX is massively better than the GTX 1070.

The Titan RTX has 4608 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! has 1920. However, the actual shader performance of the Titan RTX is 8156 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1070 is 4658. The Titan RTX having 3498 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Titan RTX delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 1070.

The Titan RTX transistor size technology is 4 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 1070. This means that the Titan RTX is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 1070.

The Titan RTX requires 280 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! requires 220 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 650 Watts for the Titan RTX and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1070. The Titan RTX requires 60 Watts more than the GTX 1070 to run. The difference is significant enough that the Titan RTX may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 1070.
