GeForce RTX 3070 vs Radeon RX 5700: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 3070 vs Radeon RX 5700
The GeForce RTX 3070 is dramatically faster, around 80% ahead of the Radeon RX 5700. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 3070 is comfortable at 1440p, while the Radeon RX 5700 is better matched to 1080p.
Price & Value
The GeForce RTX 3070 currently lists from $430 CAD, $729 CAD less than the Radeon RX 5700 at $1,159 CAD. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 3070 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 385%. The GeForce RTX 3070 is trading below its $499 CAD MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon RX 5700 still sits about $810 CAD above its $349 CAD MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon RX 5700 is the gentler choice at 180W versus 220W. The GeForce RTX 3070 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 220W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern Ampere architecture on a Samsung 8nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 3070 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 5700 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 RTX 3070 or Radeon RX 5700?
The GeForce RTX 3070 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 5700 if you find it at a steep discount.
