AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions these two GPUs for distinctly different use cases. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, a desktop add-in board with a 220 W TDP, sits at the 87th percentile of all GPUs in the database, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, an integrated laptop part with a 60 W TDP, lands at the 80th percentile. The desktop card holds a higher average benchmark score of 57,367 versus 35,435 for the mobile part, a gap that reflects their respective power envelopes and physical formats.

The single head-to-head benchmark available, Geekbench OpenCL, shows the NVIDIA part winning by 24%: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 143,870 against the RX 9070 GRE's 109,309. That result, however, runs counter to the overall average score rankings, where the AMD part leads by roughly 62%. The data suggests the mobile NVIDIA part excels in compute-oriented OpenCL workloads, while the desktop AMD part delivers higher aggregate performance across a broader benchmark suite.

For desktop builders seeking a fixed-installation GPU with substantial compute throughput, the RX 9070 GRE is the stronger pick based on its higher average score and superior percentile ranking. For portable systems where power draw and physical footprint matter, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the only viable option of the two, as it is an integrated part with no external power connectors. The RX 9070 GRE requires dual 8-pin connectors and a 550 W suggested power supply, which makes it unsuitable for mobile deployment.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and process nodes. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE uses the Navi 48 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm TSMC process. It contains 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 151.0 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses the GB205 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, also fabricated by TSMC but on a 5 nm process. Its transistor count is 31,100 million on a 263 mm² die, giving a density of 118.3 million per square millimeter.

The AMD part belongs to the Navi IV generation within the Radeon RX 9000 series, succeeding the Navi III predecessor. The NVIDIA part is part of the GeForce 50 Mobile generation, succeeding the GeForce 40 Mobile series. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API coverage is identical.

Core configuration differs markedly. The RX 9070 GRE packs 3,072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 96 render output units, and 48 ray tracing cores. It has no dedicated tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile carries 5,888 shading units, 184 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 46 ray tracing cores, and 184 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part has nearly double the shading units but fewer TMUs and ROPs, and it adds tensor core hardware that the AMD chip lacks entirely.

Memory architecture shares some traits: both use a 192-bit bus and 12 GB of VRAM. The differences lie in memory type and speed. The AMD card uses GDDR6 at 18 Gbps effective, delivering 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA part uses GDDR7 at 28 Gbps effective, producing 672.0 GB/s bandwidth, a 55.6% advantage in raw memory throughput.

Clock behavior also diverges. The RX 9070 GRE runs a base clock of 1420 MHz, a game clock of 2220 MHz, and a boost clock of 2790 MHz. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile operates at a base of 847 MHz and boosts to 1447 MHz, with no game clock listed. Despite far lower clock speeds, the NVIDIA part's higher shading unit count contributes to its OpenCL win.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one direct comparison between these two GPUs. In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 143,870 against the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE's 109,309. The delta is -24% from the AMD card's perspective, meaning the NVIDIA part outperforms it by 24% in this specific workload. This is the only recorded head-to-head result, and it goes to the NVIDIA product.

The OpenCL result likely reflects the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 5,888 shading units and 184 tensor cores, which can accelerate compute tasks beyond what the AMD card's 3,072 shading units achieve. The mobile part's higher memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s versus 432.0 GB/s also contributes to compute-heavy workloads that stress memory access patterns.

Beyond that single test, the broader benchmark records show a different overall picture. The RX 9070 GRE's average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 57,367, placing it at the 87th percentile of all GPUs. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's average is 35,435, at the 80th percentile. The desktop card leads by roughly 62% in average score, a substantial margin that reflects its higher power budget and desktop cooling headroom.

The RX 9070 GRE also has a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,424, a test not recorded for the NVIDIA part. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 109,309 is the same figure used in the head-to-head comparison, confirming the desktop card's compute performance in that test.
