GeForce RTX 2070 vs Radeon RX 580: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2070 vs Radeon RX 580
The GeForce RTX 2070 is dramatically faster, around 150% ahead of the Radeon RX 580. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2070 is comfortable at 1080p, while the Radeon RX 580 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The Radeon RX 580 currently lists from $23,454 JPY, $34,346 JPY less than the GeForce RTX 2070 at $57,800 JPY. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2070 wins on performance-per-dollar. The Radeon RX 580 still sits about $23,225 JPY above its $229 JPY MSRP. The GeForce RTX 2070 still sits about $57,301 JPY above its $499 JPY MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 175W against 185W, the GeForce RTX 2070 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 2070 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 580 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 2070 or Radeon RX 580?
The GeForce RTX 2070 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 580 if you find it at a steep discount.
