GeForce GTX 1070 vs Radeon RX 590: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1070 vs Radeon RX 590
The GeForce GTX 1070 is significantly faster, around 30% ahead of the Radeon RX 590. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 1070 draws just 150W versus 225W for the Radeon RX 590, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon RX 590 is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1070 (GCN 4.0 (Polaris) 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 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 590 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 590?
