Our Verdict: The RX 5700 XT is faster by 34% for 1440p gaming. However, GTX 1070 is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from GTX 1070 to RX 5700 XT is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070

The GTX 1080 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Pascal set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 1070 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 399. The good news is, with the release of the GTX 1070 Ti, the GTX 1070 's price is getting more discount.

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, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. Spec for spec, this GTX 1070 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 970, by boasting 50.5 % more fps.

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

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 1070 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 970 and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX Vega 56, the GTX 1070 was -2.4 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core VI, F1 22, Anthem, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II at 60 fps to 68 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play GreedFall, Hitman 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Death Stranding, F1 2019 at 61 fps to 67 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Overwatch 2, Valorant at 64 fps to 134 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 99 fps.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT

AMD ’s xx00 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 RDNA 1.0 graphics card inside the RX 5700 XT, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. Spec for spec, this RX 5700 XT leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX Vega 56, by boasting 28.1 % more fps.

In our synthetic benchmarks, the RX 5700 XT blows past the RX Vega 56 and, amazingly, even the RX Vega 64 as well. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 2070, the RX 5700 XT was 1.7 % faster.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 5700 XT consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX Vega 56 and it really justifies an upgrade. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play A Plague Tale: Requiem, Dead Space, Metro Exodus, God of War, Forza Horizon 5 at 67 fps to 69 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 68 fps.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Battlefield 2042, Baldur's Gate 3, Armored Core VI, Anthem, Final Fantasy XV at 64 fps to 68 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 66 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Forza Horizon 4, Spider-Man Remastered, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Fallout 76, Battlefield V at 62 fps to 64 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 63 fps.
