AMD Radeon Pro 570 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The direct comparison between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 and the AMD Radeon Pro 570 is defined by two recorded benchmark tests: Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan. In both, the RTX 5070 delivers a decisive victory, with margins that are less a contest and more a demonstration of generational and architectural separation.

In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the RTX 5070 scores 172,660, while the Radeon Pro 570 scores 27,702. This results in a delta of 523.3% in favor of the NVIDIA card. The score gap is enormous: the RTX 5070 outperforms the Radeon Pro 570 by a factor of more than six. This is not a marginal win; the data shows a complete dominance in compute throughput, which aligns with the underlying specifications: the RTX 5070 carries 6,144 shading units against the Radeon Pro 570's 1,792, and its FP32 throughput is listed at 30.87 TFLOPS versus 3.960 TFLOPS.

The Vulkan results follow a similar pattern. The RTX 5070 posts a score of 178,923, against the Radeon Pro 570's 31,974, yielding a delta of 459.6%. Again, the NVIDIA part leads by a wide margin, nearly 5.6 times the AMD score. Vulkan is a low-level API that often scales well with raw hardware resources, and the RTX 5070's modern Blackwell architecture, with its 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores, far outstrips the GCN 4.0 design of the Radeon Pro 570, which lacks dedicated RT and tensor hardware entirely.

Across the two head-to-head tests, the RTX 5070 wins both, with a clean 2-0 record. The Radeon Pro 570 has no recorded wins in this direct comparison. The average benchmark scores from the database reinforce this hierarchy: the RTX 5070 has an average score of 40,377, while the Radeon Pro 570 sits at 33,207. The RTX 5070 also holds a higher percentile rank among all GPUs, at 82, compared to the Radeon Pro 570's 78.

The nearest rivals for the RTX 5070 provide context for its position. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 is nearly identical in average score at 40,318, just 0.1% behind. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40,063, a 0.8% deficit. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is slightly ahead at 40,870, a -1.2% delta, and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile trails at 39,568, a 2% gap. For the Radeon Pro 570, its nearest rivals are all NVIDIA mobile parts: the RTX 3050 Mobile at 33,170 (0.1% ahead), the T550 Mobile at 33,161 (0.1% ahead), the P104-100 at 32,982 (0.7% ahead), and the T600 Mobile at 32,849 (1.1% ahead). This shows that the Radeon Pro 570 is competitive only with entry-level mobile GPUs, whereas the RTX 5070 sits alongside workstation-class cards.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the superior performer in every recorded benchmark comparison against the AMD Radeon Pro 570. The 523.3% lead in OpenCL and 459.6% lead in Vulkan are not incremental improvements; they represent a different performance class entirely. Anyone selecting between these two parts for compute-heavy workloads, 3D rendering, or modern gaming should choose the RTX 5070 without hesitation.

The Radeon Pro 570, with its 78th percentile ranking and average score of 33,207, aligns more closely with low-end mobile GPUs like the NVIDIA RTX 3050 Mobile and T550 Mobile. Its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 217.0 GB/s bandwidth are far below the RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 5070 also supports modern APIs including DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6, while the Radeon Pro 570 tops out at DirectX 12 (12_0) and Vulkan 1.3.

For a user with legacy software or a Mac-centric workflow, the Radeon Pro 570 might still function, but the recorded data shows no scenario where it wins. The RTX 5070 is also newer, with a release date in March 2025, versus June 2017 for the AMD part. The Radeon Pro 570 is marked as end-of-life, while the RTX 5070 is active in production. The verdict is straightforward: the RTX 5070 is the choice for anyone prioritizing performance, future-proofing, and raw compute capability.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different eras and design philosophies. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, using the GB205 chip, and is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It packs 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². The AMD Radeon Pro 570, in contrast, uses the GCN 4.0 architecture with the Ellesmere chip, fabricated on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. It contains only 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, for a density of 24.6M per mm². The transistor count difference is stark: the RTX 5070 has more than five times as many transistors.

The memory subsystems are equally disparate. The RTX 5070 uses 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon Pro 570 has 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus, yielding 217.0 GB/s. Although the AMD card has a wider bus, the newer GDDR7 standard and higher effective clock (28 Gbps versus 6.8 Gbps) give the NVIDIA part a decisive bandwidth advantage.

Core counts and specialized hardware further separate the two. The RTX 5070 has 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, along with 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores. The Radeon Pro 570 has 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with no RT cores or tensor cores listed. This means the RTX 5070 can handle ray tracing and AI acceleration natively, while the Radeon Pro 570 cannot. The pixel rate of the RTX 5070 is 201.0 GPixel/s versus 35.36 GPixel/s for the AMD part, and the texture rate is 482.3 GTexel/s versus 123.8 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 30.87 TFLOPS for NVIDIA and 3.960 TFLOPS for AMD, with both offering 1:1 FP16.

The power profiles differ as well. The RTX 5070 has a TDP of 250 W, requires a 16-pin power connector, and suggests a 600 W PSU. It is a dual-slot card with dimensions of 245 mm in length. The Radeon Pro 570 has a TDP of 150 W, uses no power connectors, and is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no listed dimensions, making it suitable for portable devices. The bus interface also differs: PCIe 5.0 x16 for the RTX 5070 versus PCIe 3.0 x16 for the Radeon Pro 570.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 wins in every measured category. The 2-0 head-to-head record is backed by massive deltas in both OpenCL and Vulkan. For users running compute-intensive applications such as 3D rendering, scientific simulation, or machine learning, the RTX 5070's 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 and 192 tensor cores provide a clear advantage. Its 12 GB of GDDR7 memory also allows larger datasets and textures to reside on the GPU, reducing reliance on system memory.

The RTX 5070's support for DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4 makes it suitable for modern gaming titles with ray tracing and advanced effects. Its 48 RT cores enable hardware-accelerated ray tracing, a feature entirely absent from the Radeon Pro 570. The 672.0 GB/s bandwidth and 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate ensure smooth high-resolution rendering, and the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface doubles the bandwidth available to the older PCIe 3.0 standard, reducing data transfer bottlenecks.

The AMD Radeon Pro 570, in contrast, finds no winning scenario in the recorded data. Its only benchmark results are from Geekbench tests, and it loses both decisively. Its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 217.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for modern high-end workloads. However, its low TDP of 150 W and IGP form factor, with no power connectors, could make it acceptable for legacy portable systems or basic display output, where performance is not the priority. Its DirectX 12 (12_0) support and Vulkan 1.3 compatibility mean it can run some modern applications, but at vastly reduced performance levels.

The percentile rankings tell the story: the RTX 5070 sits at the 82nd percentile among all GPUs, while the Radeon Pro 570 is at the 78th. The average benchmark scores, 40,377 versus 33,207, place the NVIDIA part in a higher performance tier altogether. For any user whose primary concern is performance, the RTX 5070 is the only rational selection. The Radeon Pro 570's only possible justification would be extreme power constraints or a requirement for an integrated form factor, but even then, the data shows it trails even mobile-class NVIDIA parts like the RTX 3050 Mobile.
