Radeon RX 5700 XT vs GeForce GTX 1070 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 5700 XT vs GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

The Radeon RX 5700 XT is dramatically faster, around 50% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 5700 XT is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti currently lists from $359 EUR, $769 EUR less than the Radeon RX 5700 XT at $1,128 EUR. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti offers the better performance-per-dollar (~109% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is trading below its $449 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon RX 5700 XT still sits about $729 EUR above its $399 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is the gentler choice at 180W versus 225W. The Radeon RX 5700 XT is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 225W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern RDNA architecture on a TSMC N7 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Generation & Longevity

The Radeon RX 5700 XT is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti (RDNA vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 5700 XT 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 1070 Ti or Radeon RX 5700 XT?

Choose the Radeon RX 5700 XT if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 5700 XT better than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?

The Radeon RX 5700 XT is dramatically faster, roughly 50% ahead. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti or the Radeon RX 5700 XT?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Radeon RX 5700 XT worth the extra $769 EUR over the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti comes out ahead.
