Notes on 9 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 9070, Launch price: AMD's $549 starting MSRP at launch; AMD sells no reference card, so partner models may cost more.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 9070, Boost clock: Peak 'up to' boost; AMD's game clock is 2070 MHz for typical gaming.
  4. 4AMD Radeon RX 9070, Board power: Partner overclocked cards can exceed 220 W; IGN measured 249 W peaks on a factory-OC card.
  5. 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.
  6. 6AMD Radeon RX 9070, Power connectors: Two 8-pin PCIe power connectors are required (2x 8-pin per AMD and Sapphire).
  7. 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.
  8. 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  9. 9AMD Radeon RX 9070, DisplayPort version: Club386 lists the DP 2.1a link rate as UHBR13.5; UHBR20 is not supported.

Price and Value

The NVIDIA card costs $379 at its starting MSRP, making it much easier on the wallet than the AMD rival at $549. That lower price point requires keeping expectations in check regarding overall horsepower and long-term asset budgets.

Memory and Bandwidth

AMD equips its option with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus, yielding 640 GB/s of bandwidth and a 64 MB last-level cache. NVIDIA relies on 8 GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 running at 28 Gbps on a narrower 128-bit bus for 448 GB/s.

Power and System Requirements

NVIDIA demands less from your power supply at 180 W board power and a 600 W recommended PSU using a single 8-pin connector. AMD asks for a 650 W PSU to support its 220 W board power requirement.
