Notes on 8 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $749 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 5070 Ti, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
- 6AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, Power connectors: Reference card uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
- 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
- 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 Ti features the Blackwell architecture with 8,960 shader cores and 43.9 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This gives it a major performance advantage over the Rdna 3 architecture on the Radeon RX 7700 XT, which runs on 3,456 cores and 35.2 TFLOPS.
Buyers looking for heavier computational workloads and faster shader processing will find significantly more headroom on the NVIDIA card.
Memory and Speed
NVIDIA equips its card with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory across a 256-bit bus, driving a massive bandwidth of 896 GB/s at 28 Gbps. The AMD option relies on 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, reaching an un-cached bandwidth of 432 GB/s at 18 Gbps alongside 48 MB of Infinity Cache.
The wider bus and faster GDDR7 standard on the RTX card handle heavy textures and high-resolution assets much more smoothly.
Power and Price
The RX 7700 XT draws 245 W and carries a starting launch price of $449, making it far lighter on the wallet and the power bill. NVIDIA's card demands 300 W of board power, a 750 W recommended power supply, and starts at $749 for partner cards.
Budget-focused builders will appreciate the lower power draw and friendlier entry price of the AMD alternative.
Connectivity and Encoding
Both cards include four total display outputs with three DisplayPort slots and one HDMI port, plus identical support for H.264, HEVC, and AV1 hardware encode. However, the NVIDIA model steps up to DisplayPort 2.1b at full UHBR20 rates and includes two video encoders instead of an unpublished count.
This gives the GeForce card a slight edge for advanced display setups and multi-stream encoding workflows.
The Verdict
Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti if you want top-tier processing power, GDDR7 memory speeds, and wider memory bandwidth. Buy the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT if you want to spend significantly less while keeping power consumption down.
