Notes on 8 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 9070, Launch price: AMD's $549 starting MSRP at launch; AMD sells no reference card, so partner models may cost more.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 9070, Boost clock: Peak 'up to' boost; AMD's game clock is 2070 MHz for typical gaming.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 9070, Board power: Partner overclocked cards can exceed 220 W; IGN measured 249 W peaks on a factory-OC card.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; other systems may need a different PSU.
  5. 5AMD Radeon RX 9070, Power connectors: Two 8-pin PCIe power connectors are required (2x 8-pin per AMD and Sapphire).
  6. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
  7. 7AMD Radeon RX 9070, DisplayPort version: Club386 lists the DP 2.1a link rate as UHBR13.5; UHBR20 is not supported.
  8. 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.

Performance and power

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 achieves 36.1 TFLOPS of FP32 compute alongside a 2,520 MHz boost clock, edging out the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 in raw single-precision output. At the same time, the AMD card operates at a lower 220 W board power.

Buyers focused on energy efficiency benefit from the AMD model's lower power draw, though partner overclocked cards can exceed 220 W with 249 W peaks recorded on factory-OC versions. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA competitor demands a higher 250 W board power.

Memory capacity and speed

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 features 16 GB of GDDR6 video memory paired with a 256-bit memory bus and a 64 MB last-level cache. This configuration handles high-resolution texture loads effectively for modern gaming.

On the other side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 equips 12 GB of GDDR7 memory. While it offers a smaller capacity and a narrower 192-bit bus, its memory speed reaches 28 Gbps and delivers a higher total bandwidth of 672 GB/s.

Connectivity and setup

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 includes DisplayPort 2.1b supporting the full UHBR20 rate across three ports, alongside a single HDMI 2.1b port. Its power delivery relies on a modern 12V-2x6 16-pin socket.

In contrast, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 relies on standard 8-pin connectors, requiring two 8-pin PCIe cables. Its DisplayPort 2.1a connection operates at the UHBR13.5 link rate.
