GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon RX 5700

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is dramatically faster, around 67% ahead of the Radeon RX 5700. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.

Price & Value

The Radeon RX 5700 currently lists from $426 EUR, $435 EUR less than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at $861 EUR. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 5700 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~21% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 5700 still sits about $77 EUR above its $349 EUR MSRP. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is trading below its $999 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the Radeon RX 5700 is the gentler choice at 180W versus 250W. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 250W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti carries 11GB versus 8GB on the Radeon RX 5700. The extra 3GB 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 RTX 2080 Ti 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 2080 Ti or Radeon RX 5700?

Choose the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Radeon RX 5700 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti better than the Radeon RX 5700?

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is dramatically faster, roughly 67% ahead. The Radeon RX 5700 is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti or the Radeon RX 5700?

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 GeForce RTX 2080 Ti worth the extra $435 EUR over the Radeon RX 5700?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Radeon RX 5700 comes out ahead.

Does the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 11GB (vs 8GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
