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 43% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.
Price & Value
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti currently lists from $181 GBP, $582 GBP less than the Radeon RX 5700 XT at $763 GBP. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti offers the better performance-per-dollar (~195% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is trading below its $449 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon RX 5700 XT still sits about $364 GBP above its $399 GBP 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 Radeon RX 5700 XT brings AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value, while the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti offers NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: Radeon RX 5700 XT or GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?
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.
