Notes on 8 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Release date: Chinese retail deliveries began May 8, 2025; the global launch followed at Computex 2026.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Launch price: Global launch MSRP $549; Chinese AIB cards started at ¥4,199 (≈$450 per Notebookcheck).
  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 9070 GRE, Power connectors: AIB-only card; most listed partner models use two 8-pin connectors (Yeston Sakura variants use three).
  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. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  7. 7AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, HDMI outputs: AMD sells no retail reference card; port counts are for AMD's reference design as listed by VideoCardz.
  8. 8AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, DisplayPort outputs: AMD sells no retail reference card; port counts are for AMD's reference design as listed by VideoCardz.

Graphics performance and speed

The RX 9070 GRE utilizes the RDNA 4 architecture with 3,072 shader cores and a 2,790 MHz boost clock, delivering 34.3 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. In contrast, the RTX 5070 runs on the Blackwell architecture with 6,144 cores and a 2,512 MHz boost clock, producing 30.9 TFLOPS. This gives the AMD card an edge in raw compute numbers and boost frequency.

Despite having fewer compute units, the Nvidia card features faster memory speeds at 28 Gbps and a bandwidth of 672 GB/s utilizing GDDR7 memory. The AMD option relies on GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps for a bandwidth of 432 GB/s. Buyers prioritizing memory throughput will find the Nvidia option better equipped for high-bandwidth tasks.

Power efficiency and connectors

The RX 9070 GRE requires a board power of 220 W and generally uses an 8-pin power setup depending on the partner model. Meanwhile, the RTX 5070 draws 250 W of board power and connects via a 12V-2x6 socket that includes an adapter for two 8-pin cables in the box.

Both cards recommend a 650 W power supply for standard systems, though Nvidia's requirement specifically accounts for a processor like the Ryzen 9 9950X. The AMD card runs on lower board power, making it slightly easier on overall system power draws.

Display outputs and connectivity

Both options support PCIe 5.0 across 16 lanes, HDMI 2.1b, and include one HDMI port alongside three DisplayPort outputs. The Nvidia alternative moves ahead on DisplayPort connectivity by supporting version 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.

When building a multi-monitor setup, the GeForce card supports up to 4 displays. Buyers looking for the absolute newest display connection standards will benefit from Nvidia's superior DisplayPort implementation.
