AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data splits cleanly between the two cards, but only one head-to-head test exists in the database: 3DMark Steel Nomad under DirectX 12. In that test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6269.5 points, while the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT scores 3316 points. The delta is 47.1% in favor of the NVIDIA card, meaning the AMD card trails by nearly half in this specific workload.

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT has a broader set of benchmark results in the database, covering OpenCL, Vulkan, and multiple PassMark tiers. Its average benchmark score is 22549, with a percentile rank of 67 among all GPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, has only the single 3DMark Steel Nomad result, an average score of 6270, and a percentile rank of 36. The percentile discrepancy is notable: the AMD card sits above the midpoint of all GPUs, while the NVIDIA card sits below it, despite winning the direct comparison. That outcome reflects the limited test coverage for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, not necessarily its overall standing.

For the AMD card, the strongest recorded results include a PassMark G3D score of 22547, a PassMark G2D score of 1161, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 138383, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 46443. The NVIDIA card has no equivalent entries in those tests, so the data cannot confirm wins outside of 3DMark Steel Nomad. In the direct head-to-head, the NVIDIA card wins the only available matchup. The AMD card, however, shows a much wider benchmark footprint, which suggests it has been tested across more application types.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from different architectural generations. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Wheat Nas. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture. Both are fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process node, but the transistor counts differ substantially: the AMD chip packs 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, while the NVIDIA chip packs 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die. That translates to a transistor density of 81.2M per mm² for AMD and 120.6M per mm² for NVIDIA.

Shading unit counts differ by a wide margin. The AMD card has 3456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The NVIDIA card has 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and also 96 ROPs. Ray tracing cores also differ: 54 on the AMD card versus 70 on the NVIDIA card. The NVIDIA card additionally includes 280 tensor cores, while the AMD card lists none. The AMD card's FP32 throughput is 35.17 TFLOPS, and its FP16 throughput is identical at 35.17 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. The NVIDIA card delivers 43.94 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16, also at 1:1.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The AMD card uses 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, yielding 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA card uses 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, yielding 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, more than double the AMD figure. Memory clocks also differ: the AMD card runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the NVIDIA card runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective. The bus interface differs as well: the AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 5.0 x16.

The power delivery setup changes too. The AMD card has a TDP of 245 W and uses two 8-pin power connectors, with a suggested PSU of 550 W. The NVIDIA card has a TDP of 350 W and uses a single 16-pin connector, with no suggested PSU listed. Both are dual-slot cards, but dimensions differ: the AMD card measures 267 mm in length, 135 mm in height, and 50 mm in width, while the NVIDIA card measures 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width. Display outputs also differ: the AMD card has one HDMI 2.1a, two DisplayPort 2.1, and one USB Type-C, while the NVIDIA card has one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card's release date is September 5, 2023, while the NVIDIA card's release date is December 31, 2025. The AMD card has a predecessor named Navi II and a successor named Navi IV, while the NVIDIA card lists neither.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains exactly one head-to-head benchmark between these two cards: 3DMark Steel Nomad under DirectX 12. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6269.5 points, and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT scores 3316 points. The delta is 47.1% in favor of the NVIDIA card. This is a decisive win in the only directly comparable workload.

The AMD card, however, has a much richer benchmark profile in the database. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 138383, its Geekbench Vulkan score is 46443, and its PassMark G3D score is 22547. The PassMark G2D score is 1161, and the PassMark GPU Compute score is 12912. The NVIDIA card has no recorded scores in any of these tests. The average benchmark score for the AMD card is 22549, while the NVIDIA card's average is 6270, but that average is based on a single test.

The nearest rivals listed for the AMD card are all NVIDIA or AMD models with scores close to its own. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile scores 22435 with a delta of 0.5%, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile scores 22729 with a delta of -0.8%, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895 with a delta of -1.5%, and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 scores 22170 with a delta of 1.7%. The AMD card sits within 2% of these four rivals.

The nearest rivals for the NVIDIA card are different. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 scores 6270 with a delta of 0%, the NVIDIA Quadro K620 scores 6282 with a delta of -0.2%, the AMD FirePro W600 scores 6223 with a delta of 0.8%, and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 scores 6327 with a delta of -0.9%. The NVIDIA card's single score places it effectively even with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102.

In the only direct comparison, the NVIDIA card wins by a large margin. The AMD card's strengths appear in its multi-test coverage, but the database does not provide any direct evidence of AMD wins in shared workloads.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. For anyone prioritizing the 3DMark Steel Nomad DirectX 12 workload, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the choice. It scores 6269.5 against 3316, a 47.1% advantage. The NVIDIA card also brings a larger memory pool at 16 GB, a wider 256-bit bus, and 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, compared to the AMD card's 12 GB, 192-bit bus, and 432.0 GB/s. Its shading unit count is 8960 versus 3456, and its FP32 throughput is 43.94 TFLOPS versus 35.17 TFLOPS. These are substantial architectural advantages.

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, however, has a higher percentile rank among all GPUs at 67, versus 36 for the NVIDIA card. Its average benchmark score of 22549 reflects a broad set of tests, including OpenCL, Vulkan, and multiple PassMark tiers. The NVIDIA card's average of 6270 comes from a single benchmark. The AMD card also runs cooler in terms of power draw, with a TDP of 245 W versus 350 W, and it uses standard 8-pin connectors rather than a single 16-pin connector. Its pixel rate is slightly higher at 244.2 GPixel/s versus 235.4 GPixel/s, despite the NVIDIA card's higher texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s versus 549.5 GTexel/s.

The launch MSRP is 449 USD for the AMD card and 749 USD for the NVIDIA card. The data does not cover pricing beyond that single figure. For users focused on the recorded head-to-head result, the NVIDIA card is the faster option. For users who value a more complete benchmark footprint and a lower power envelope, the AMD card has merits. The verdict depends on which metric matters more: the one direct comparison, where NVIDIA wins decisively, or the broader test coverage, where AMD shows a wider range of recorded performance. The database records no additional shared benchmarks, so any further comparison would require new measurements.
