Performance: GeForce GTX 1080 vs Radeon RX 570
The GeForce GTX 1080 is dramatically faster, around 117% ahead of the Radeon RX 570. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The Radeon RX 570 currently lists from $3,116 BRL, $921 BRL less than the GeForce GTX 1080 at $4,037 BRL. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1080 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 67%. The Radeon RX 570 still sits about $2,947 BRL above its $169 BRL MSRP. The GeForce GTX 1080 still sits about $3,438 BRL above its $599 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon RX 570 is the gentler choice at 150W versus 180W. The GeForce GTX 1080 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 180W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce GTX 1080 carries 8GB versus 4GB on the Radeon RX 570. The extra 4GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1080 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 570 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1080 or Radeon RX 570?
The GeForce GTX 1080 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon RX 570 if you find it at a steep discount.
