RX 9070 XT vs RTX 5070 Ti spec comparability – which one comes out on prime?

After a protracted wait, the RX 9070 XT, that includes the RDNA 4 structure, has been launched, and it’s the first GPU after AMD determined to step again from producing high-end GPUs. That is the successor of the RX 7800 XT and competes instantly with the RTX 5070 and the RTX 5070 Ti.

Whereas the RTX 5070 was delayed, the RTX 5070 Ti made waves after its launch however was met with some criticism concerning its pricing because the RX 9070 XT is claimed by AMD to be the world’s finest $549 graphics card. That being stated, we’re questioning how the 2 mid-range GPUs stack towards one another, and whereas we have not examined them but, we now have their specs, which supplies us one thing to go off of. 

We’ll replace this text with their efficiency benchmarks after we have put them via our GPU testing course of within the testing lab. So, verify again with us for extra updates.

RX 9070 XT vs. RTX 5070 Ti specs comparability

Right here’s a fast take a look at how these two playing cards stack up side-by-side.

Efficiency

Based mostly on the specs out there, the competitors between the RTX 5070 Ti and the RX 9070 XT appears powerful. We expect it’s going to come right down to the distinction within the reminiscence kind and their respective AI upscaling applied sciences to interrupt a possible stalemate. 

Reminiscence kind 

The RX 9070 XT has caught with GDDR6, whereas the RTX 5070 Ti options the brand new GDDR7 reminiscence. GDDR6 has a per-pin most information price of 16GB/s, whereas GDDR7 doubles that to 32GB/s.

Micron states {that a} GPU with GDDR7 and a 384-bit reminiscence bus will end in an enormous 1.5 TB/s bandwidth. Nonetheless, each these GPUs have a 256-bit reminiscence bus width, which means the RTX 5070 Ti ought to have higher efficiency because it has an 896GB/s bandwidth, whereas the RX 9070 XT might be restricted to 512GB/s. 

Which means, on a elementary stage, the RX 9070 XT can course of much less information than the RTX 5070 Ti. Whereas each GPUs function a PCIe 5.0 connection, the reminiscence kind is the deciding variable within the match, and the percentages favor the RTX 5070 Ti. 

AI and gaming efficiency

The RTX 5070 Ti has extra Ray Tracing, Tensor (AI), and processing cores than the RX 9070 XT, which ought to give it higher efficiency. Nonetheless, the RX 9070 XT has 1557 AI TOPS whereas the RTX 5070 Ti lingers behind with 1406 AI TOPS. 

Which means regardless of simply solely implementing devoted AI cores of their GPUs, AMD has managed to step off on the fitting foot, and whether or not the identical might be stated for its gaming efficiency, its AI output is seemingly higher than the 5070 Ti. 

Alternatively, the RTX 5070 Ti has the additional refined DLSS 4 and Multi-Body Era in its arsenal, and solely time will inform whether or not FSR 4 will have the ability to match it. However what we have seen in our RTX 5080 assessment is that DLSS 4 with MFG is a power to be reckoned with and takes the efficiency of those RTX 50-series GPUs to the subsequent stage. 

Pricing

The RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 Ti are priced at $599 and $749. Nonetheless, based on AMD, the RX 9070 XT is just 2% slower than the RTX 5070 i at 4K, however the RX 9070 XT OC variant, whose worth isn’t confirmed, is 2% sooner than the RTX 5070 Ti. As well as, AMD additionally claims that the RX 9070 XT offers 23% higher gaming efficiency per greenback than its competitors.

Whereas these are all claims, and we’ll take a look at these GPUs ourselves to confirm them, whether it is true, then the RTX 5070 Ti can have a really tough time breaking via the market.

Verdict

General, each the RTX 5070 Ti and RX 9070 XT have robust fits, and we’ll have to check them in-house to be completely positive which one comes out on prime. Nonetheless, their AI upscaling applied sciences will likely be an important consider figuring out the winner in addition to the pricing and inventory. If the RTX 5070 Ti’s inventory points aren’t resolved, we’d see the market vastly favoring the RX 9070 XT, particularly if it matches the efficiency as an alternative of outright outperforming it.
