GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs Radeon RX 570: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs Radeon RX 570
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is dramatically faster, around 183% ahead of the Radeon RX 570. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is comfortable at 1080p, while the Radeon RX 570 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The Radeon RX 570 currently lists from $4,790 SEK, $9,818 SEK less than the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti at $14,609 SEK. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 570 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~8% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 570 still sits about $4,621 SEK above its $169 SEK MSRP. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti still sits about $13,910 SEK above its $699 SEK MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon RX 570 is the gentler choice at 150W versus 250W. The GeForce GTX 1080 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 GTX 1080 Ti carries 11GB versus 4GB on the Radeon RX 570. The extra 7GB 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 GTX 1080 Ti 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 1080 Ti or Radeon RX 570?
Choose the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Radeon RX 570 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
