Notes on 9 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
- 2AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Base clock: AMD publishes only Game (2171 MHz) and Boost clocks; no base clock appears on AMD's page.
- 3AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Memory bandwidth: AMD also lists 1995 GB/s 'effective' bandwidth including Infinity Cache; 432 GB/s is the raw VRAM figure.
- 4AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Recommended PSU: AMD bases this rating on a Ryzen 9 7950X system; your needs may differ.
- 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: No Founders Edition exists; most partner cards use one 8-pin socket, a few use a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.
- 6AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Power connectors: Reference card uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
- 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, PCIe lanes: Only 8 lanes: on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 board it gets half or a quarter of the PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.
- 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
- 9AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck specifies the DP 2.1 output at UHBR13.5 link rate.
Performance and Architecture
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB uses the Blackwell architecture with 4,608 shader cores to deliver high clock speeds. It features faster GDDR7 memory operating at 28 Gbps, though it relies on a smaller 128-bit bus width.
In contrast, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is built on Rdna 3 and achieves a higher raw compute output of 35.2 TFLOPS. It uses traditional GDDR6 memory paired with a wider 192-bit bus to handle demanding graphical workloads.
Memory and Capacity
Gamers looking at the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT get 12 GB of video memory and a 48 MB last-level cache, which helps manage higher resolutions and complex textures.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB provides 8 GB of VRAM. While its memory bandwidth reaches 448 GB/s due to advanced GDDR7 technology, the lower capacity requires careful settings management in modern games.
Power and System Requirements
System builders working with tighter power budgets will appreciate the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, which demands only a 180 W board power and a 600 W power supply unit.
The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT draws more power at 245 W and calls for a 700 W power supply, alongside two 8-pin PCIe power connectors compared to the single 8-pin connector typically used by NVIDIA partners.
Connectivity and Features
The NVIDIA card supports PCIe 5.0 with an 8-lane configuration, offering modern interface speeds alongside DisplayPort 2.1b outputs running at the full UHBR20 rate.
The AMD card relies on PCIe 4.0 using a full 16-lane configuration. Both models include standard display outputs supporting up to four total displays and hardware encoding for H.264, HEVC, and AV1.
The Verdict
Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB if you want lower power consumption, faster GDDR7 memory speeds, and a lower starting cost. Buy the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT if you need 12 GB of video memory and a wider memory bus for higher resolutions.
