GeForce GTX 1070 vs Radeon RX 570: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 1070 vs Radeon RX 570

The GeForce GTX 1070 is dramatically faster, around 83% ahead of the Radeon RX 570. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce GTX 1070 starts at $347 EUR against $1,100 EUR for the Radeon RX 570. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1070 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 481%. The GeForce GTX 1070 is trading below its $379 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon RX 570 still sits about $931 EUR above its $169 EUR MSRP.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 8GB against 4GB, the GeForce GTX 1070 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 570's 4GB can fall short.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1070 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 1070 or Radeon RX 570?

The GeForce GTX 1070 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce GTX 1070 better than the Radeon RX 570?

The GeForce GTX 1070 is dramatically faster, roughly 83% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1070 or the Radeon RX 570?

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

Is the Radeon RX 570 worth the extra $753 EUR over the GeForce GTX 1070?

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

Does the GeForce GTX 1070 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 8GB (vs 4GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
