Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins the only directly comparable benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, by a 47% margin. Its raw compute advantage is also evident in the specification data: 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 versus 21.43 TFLOPS, 896.0 GB/s memory bandwidth versus 288.0 GB/s, and double the VRAM at 16 GB versus 8 GB. The NVIDIA card also has 280 tensor cores, which the AMD card lacks entirely, along with 70 ray tracing cores versus 28.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 wins in efficiency-oriented comparisons. Its TDP of 132 W is less than 38% of the NVIDIA card's 350 W. It achieves its performance with a single 8-pin power connector and a 300 W suggested PSU, while the NVIDIA card requires a single 16-pin connector. The AMD card also has a higher boost clock at 2990 MHz versus 2452 MHz, and a higher transistor density at 149.2 million per mm² versus 120.6 million per mm².

The AMD card's average benchmark score of 16014 is higher than the NVIDIA card's 6270, but this reflects the different number of recorded tests. The AMD card has ten benchmark entries covering DirectX 9, 10, 11, 12, OpenCL, Vulkan, G2D, G3D, and compute workloads. The NVIDIA card has a single entry in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The percentile ranks reflect this data distribution: the AMD card at 59th percentile versus the NVIDIA card at 36th percentile.

In the shared test, the NVIDIA card demonstrates a decisive raw performance advantage. In the broader benchmark set, the AMD card shows consistent results across legacy and modern APIs, with its PassMark G3D score of 17631 representing its strongest traditional rasterization result.

The Verdict

The recorded data separates these two cards clearly by performance class. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers 6269.5 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, a 47% advantage over the AMD Radeon RX 9060's 3322 in the same test. This aligns with its larger hardware configuration: 8960 shading units, 43.94 TFLOPS FP32, 16 GB of GDDR7, and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA card is the stronger choice for raw performance in modern DirectX 12 workloads.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 presents a different profile. Its 132 W TDP, 300 W suggested PSU, and single 8-pin connector indicate a much lower power envelope. Its 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for its performance level, and its 2990 MHz boost clock shows a high-frequency design. The AMD card's ten recorded benchmark scores demonstrate broad API coverage, including PassMark DirectX 9 at 280, DirectX 10 at 104, DirectX 11 at 182, and DirectX 12 at 44, plus Geekbench OpenCL at 88183 and Vulkan at 39476.

For buyers prioritizing the highest frame rates in demanding DirectX 12 titles, the data points to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. For those prioritizing lower power draw and a smaller system power requirement, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 is the better match. The 2.65 times TDP difference between the two cards is the most striking specification gap, and it defines their respective positions in the database. The NVIDIA card uses its additional power budget to nearly double the FP32 throughput and triple the memory bandwidth, while the AMD card achieves its results at a fraction of the power cost.
