Our Verdict: Upgrading from RX 590 to GTX 1070 Ti is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for RX 590 .

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

NVIDIA ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Pascal graphics card inside the GTX 1070 Ti, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. Spec for spec, this GTX 1070 Ti leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 970, by boasting 62.5 % more fps.

The GTX 1070 Ti has 8 GB RAM compared to the GTX 970 's 4 GB video memory. In our synthetic benchmarks, the GTX 1070 Ti blows past the GTX 970 and, amazingly, even the GTX 980 as well.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX Vega 56, the GTX 1070 Ti was 5.4 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 1070 Ti consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 970 and it really justifies an upgrade.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Dying Light 2, Total War: Warhammer III, Borderlands 3, Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core VI at 62 fps to 65 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Hitman 3, Monster Hunter: World, Guardians of the Galaxy, Final Fantasy XV, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War at 60 fps to 62 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 61 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Overwatch 2, Valorant at 69 fps to 145 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 107 fps.

AMD Radeon RX 590

AMD ’s xx90 cards have always been defined by high-end prices with performance that knocks on the door of extreme graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the GCN 4.0 graphics card inside the RX 590, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, GTX 1070, the RX 590 was -13.8 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Far Cry 6, Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter: World, Hitman 3, Godfall at 62 fps to 66 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Apex Legends, Resident Evil 2, Forza Horizon 4, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Overwatch 2 at 60 fps to 67 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Valorant at 107 fps to 107 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 107 fps.
