Performance Analysis
The FP16 dense throughput of 362.05 TFLOPS on the L40S exceeds the FP16 dense throughput of 61.7 TFLOPS on the RTX 5070 Ti by a factor of roughly six to one so the L40S variant supports larger batch sizes during training sessions. The FP32 rating of 91.6 TFLOPS on the L40S compared with 30.9 TFLOPS on the RTX 5070 Ti further widens the gap for precision sensitive workloads. Memory bandwidth of 864 GB/s shared across L40S variants versus 672 GB/s shared across RTX 5070 variants allows the L40S to sustain higher data movement rates that directly influence maximum batch sizes in inference pipelines.

When to Choose the L40S
The L40S variant with 48 GB GDDR6 memory suits workloads that require the higher memory capacity and the FP16 dense rating of 362.05 TFLOPS. Its 864 GB/s bandwidth shared by the family supports larger models that exceed the 16 GB limit of the RTX 5070 Ti variant.
When to Choose the RTX 5070 Ti
The RTX 5070 Ti variant with 16 GB GDDR7 memory fits power constrained environments because its family TDP stands at 250W against the 350W TDP of the L40S family. Its PCIe 5.0 interconnect provides a newer standard when system compatibility favors that interface over PCIe 4.0.
Use Cases
The L40S variant supplies 48 GB memory and an FP16 dense rating of 362.05 TFLOPS that exceed the 16 GB and 61.7 TFLOPS on the RTX 5070 Ti variant.
The L40S variant delivers 362.05 TFLOPS FP16 dense performance and 864 GB/s bandwidth that support larger batch sizes than the 61.7 TFLOPS and 672 GB/s on the RTX 5070 Ti variant.
The L40S variant provides 48 GB memory capacity and an FP32 rating of 91.6 TFLOPS that allow fine tuning of models beyond the 16 GB and 30.9 TFLOPS limits of the RTX 5070 Ti variant.
The RTX 5070 Ti variant operates at a family TDP of 250W which is lower than the 350W TDP of the L40S family while still delivering 61.7 TFLOPS FP16 dense performance.
The L40S variant offers an FP32 rating of 91.6 TFLOPS and 48 GB memory that surpass the 30.9 TFLOPS and 16 GB on the RTX 5070 Ti variant.

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the L40S and the RTX 5070 Ti. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
- Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
- The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
