Radeon RX 9070 XT vs GeForce RTX 5070: specs comparison

Radeon RX 9070 XT came out in 2025 on the RDNA 4 architecture, GeForce RTX 5070 in 2025 on Blackwell. Radeon RX 9070 XT has 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus (640 GB/s), GeForce RTX 5070 has 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus (672 GB/s). Power draw: 304 W vs 250 W. Recommended PSU: 750 W for Radeon RX 9070 XT and 650 W for GeForce RTX 5070. 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.

Which is better for 1080p, 1440p and 4K

  • 1080pEnough VRAM on both: Radeon RX 9070 XT, GeForce RTX 5070. Higher memory bandwidth: GeForce RTX 5070 (672 GB/s)
  • 1440pEnough VRAM on both: Radeon RX 9070 XT, GeForce RTX 5070. Higher memory bandwidth: GeForce RTX 5070 (672 GB/s)
  • 4KEnough VRAM: Radeon RX 9070 XT

Based on actual specs: 8 GB of VRAM or more for 1080p, 12 GB for 1440p and 16 GB for 4K at high settings in new games. This is not an FPS benchmark: we don’t show scores we can’t back with a source.

FAQ

Which is better — RX 9070 XT or RTX 5070?
It depends on resolution and budget. By VRAM: 1080p: Enough VRAM on both: Radeon RX 9070 XT, GeForce RTX 5070. Higher memory bandwidth: GeForce RTX 5070 (672 GB/s). 1440p: Enough VRAM on both: Radeon RX 9070 XT, GeForce RTX 5070. Higher memory bandwidth: GeForce RTX 5070 (672 GB/s). 4K: Enough VRAM: Radeon RX 9070 XT. There are no FPS benchmarks in the table — check tests in the specific games you play.
How much VRAM do RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 have?
RX 9070 XT has 16 GB of GDDR6 with 640 GB/s of bandwidth, RTX 5070 has 12 GB of GDDR7 and 672 GB/s.
What PSU do RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 need?
The vendors recommend a 750 W power supply for RX 9070 XT and 650 W for RTX 5070. Power connectors: RX 9070 XT — 2×8-pin, RTX 5070 — 16-pin (12V-2×6).
Why are the cores of RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 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”.
