Notes on 8 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Base clock: AMD publishes only Game (2171 MHz) and Boost clocks; no base clock appears on AMD's page.
  2. 2AMD 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.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; other systems may need a different PSU.
  4. 4AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Recommended PSU: AMD bases this rating on a Ryzen 9 7950X system; your needs may differ.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
  6. 6AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Power connectors: Reference card uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
  7. 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  8. 8AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck specifies the DP 2.1 output at UHBR13.5 link rate.

Performance and Architecture

The RTX 5070 runs on the Blackwell architecture with 6,144 shader cores, giving it a heavy core-count advantage over the 3,456 cores on the Rdna 3 Radeon.

Despite fewer cores, the Radeon hits a 35.2 TFLOPS FP32 compute rating compared to the 30.9 TFLOPS on the NVIDIA card.

Memory and Speed

Both cards feature 12 GB of video memory on a 192-bit bus with 48 MB of last-level cache. However, the NVIDIA model adopts GDDR7 memory reaching 28 Gbps for 672 GB/s of bandwidth.

The AMD competitor relies on GDDR6 at 18 Gbps, delivering a raw 432 GB/s figure.

Power and Size

The RTX 5070 requires 250 W and uses a 12V-2x6 power connector, while the Radeon draws 245 W through traditional 8-pin connectors.

Build space favors the NVIDIA card thanks to a shorter 242 mm length and a slimmer 2-slot width compared to the 267 mm, 2.5-slot AMD design.

Connectivity

NVIDIA equips its card with PCIe 5.0 support, HDMI 2.1b, and DisplayPort 2.1b outputs running at the full UHBR20 rate.

The AMD board stays on PCIe 4.0 with standard HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 operating at a lower UHBR13.5 link rate.
