GeForce RTX 5070 vs Radeon RX 9070: specs comparison

GeForce RTX 5070 came out in 2025 on the Blackwell architecture, Radeon RX 9070 in 2025 on RDNA 4. GeForce RTX 5070 has 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus (672 GB/s), Radeon RX 9070 has 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus (640 GB/s). Power draw: 250 W vs 220 W. Recommended PSU for both: 650 W. Cores and clocks from different vendors are not directly comparable, so those rows are not highlighted.

In short. The table below is built from the official spec sheets. Green marks the best value in a row, and under the table you will see which resolutions the VRAM is enough for. This is not an FPS benchmark.

FAQ

Which is better — RTX 5070 or RX 9070?
It depends on resolution and budget. By VRAM: 1080p: Enough VRAM on both: GeForce RTX 5070, Radeon RX 9070. Higher memory bandwidth: GeForce RTX 5070 (672 GB/s). 1440p: Enough VRAM on both: GeForce RTX 5070, Radeon RX 9070. Higher memory bandwidth: GeForce RTX 5070 (672 GB/s). 4K: Enough VRAM: Radeon RX 9070. There are no FPS benchmarks in the table — check tests in the specific games you play.
How much VRAM do RTX 5070 and RX 9070 have?
RTX 5070 has 12 GB of GDDR7 with 672 GB/s of bandwidth, RX 9070 has 16 GB of GDDR6 and 640 GB/s.
What PSU do RTX 5070 and RX 9070 need?
The vendors recommend a 650 W power supply for RTX 5070 and 650 W for RX 9070. Power connectors: RTX 5070 — 16-pin (12V-2×6), RX 9070 — 2×8-pin.
Why are the cores of RTX 5070 and RX 9070 not highlighted?
The “better” highlight on cores and clocks appears only when the cards come from the same vendor and form factor. NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cores are built differently, and laptop GPU clocks depend on the power limit set by the laptop maker.
Can I add a third graphics card?
Yes. Open the interactive comparison — the pair is already selected, you can add two more models and share the link.
Where do the specs come from?
From the official NVIDIA, AMD and Intel spec sheets — each model in the table header links to its vendor page. Bandwidth is calculated as “memory speed × bus width / 8”.
