GeForce RTX 2070 vs Radeon RX 570: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 2070 vs Radeon RX 570

The GeForce RTX 2070 is dramatically faster, around 150% ahead of the Radeon RX 570. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2070 is comfortable at 1080p, while the Radeon RX 570 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the Radeon RX 570 starts at $100 USD against $170 USD for the GeForce RTX 2070. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2070 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 47%. The Radeon RX 570 is trading below its $169 USD MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 2070 is trading below its $499 USD MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

The Radeon RX 570 pulls less power (150W vs 175W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2070 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 8GB against 4GB, the GeForce RTX 2070 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 RTX 2070 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 RTX 2070 or Radeon RX 570?

The GeForce RTX 2070 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 RTX 2070 better than the Radeon RX 570?

The GeForce RTX 2070 is dramatically faster, roughly 150% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 2070 or the Radeon RX 570?

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 2070 worth the extra $70 USD over the Radeon RX 570?

Often yes — despite the higher price the GeForce RTX 2070 delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the GeForce RTX 2070 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.
