Notes on 5 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; other systems may need a different PSU.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, HDMI version: AMD's spec page lists HDMI 2.1; its own press release and Notebookcheck state HDMI 2.1a.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  5. 5AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck lists the DisplayPort 2.1 link rate as UHBR13.5; AMD notes DP 2.1 support depends on AIB designs.

Performance and Efficiency

The RTX 5070 runs on the Blackwell architecture with a boost clock of 2,512 MHz and 6,144 shader cores. It draws less power with a 250 W board power rating.

The RX 7800 XT counters with 37.3 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and a 64 MB last-level cache. It demands a 700 W recommended PSU and 263 W of board power.
