AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no shared benchmark tests between the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and neither product registers a win against the other. This absence of common tests means no direct performance comparison can be drawn from identical workloads. Each card was evaluated using different testing suites, so the scores in the database reflect distinct measurement conditions rather than a controlled contest.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP delivers a Geekbench OpenCL score of 88183 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 39476. Its average benchmark score across recorded tests is 63830. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER shows a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5, which forms its entire average benchmark score of 6270. These values are not directly comparable because they come from different test categories, one focusing on compute APIs and the other on a specific DirectX 12 gaming workload.

The percentile placement in the database tells a different story. The AMD card sits in the 89th percentile against all GPUs, indicating that its average score outperforms the vast majority of recorded graphics hardware. The NVIDIA card, however, lands in the 36th percentile, a position that appears low given its specifications. This discrepancy likely stems from the sparse benchmark coverage for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, as a single 3DMark result cannot fully represent its capabilities across varied applications.

The nearest rival data for each card reinforces the lack of overlap. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is positioned against the NVIDIA CMP 30HX at an average score of 63842 with a zero percent delta, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M at 63775 with a 0.1 percent delta, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 63693 with a 0.2 percent delta, and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 at 64212 with a negative 0.6 percent delta. These rivals occupy a narrow performance band around 63830, suggesting the RX 9060 XT LP is a mid-pack performer among its closest peers.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is listed against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 at an identical average score of 6270 with a zero percent delta, the NVIDIA Quadro K620 at 6282 with a negative 0.2 percent delta, the AMD FirePro W600 at 6223 with a 0.8 percent delta, and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 at 6327 with a negative 0.9 percent delta. The rival set includes much older or lower-tier products, which suggests the single benchmark score may not reflect the card's true standing.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, also from TSMC but on a larger 5 nm node. The process difference implies the AMD part can pack more transistors into a smaller area. The RX 9060 XT LP contains 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 149.2 million per square millimeter. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER contains 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, with a density of 120.6 million per square millimeter.

The compute resources diverge sharply. The RX 9060 XT LP has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output pipelines. It also carries 32 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output pipelines, along with 70 ray tracing cores and 280 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part has more than four times the shading units and more than twice the texture units, reflecting a substantially larger silicon footprint.

Memory architecture also differs. The RX 9060 XT LP uses 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128 bit bus, producing 322.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256 bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA card has nearly three times the memory bandwidth, a critical factor for high resolution textures and data-heavy workloads. Both cards support PCIe 5.0 x16 and share the same API list: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Clock speeds reveal different operating strategies. The RX 9060 XT LP has a base clock of 1380 MHz, a boost clock of 3050 MHz, and a game clock of 2450 MHz. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz, with no game clock listed. The AMD card boosts much higher, while the NVIDIA card runs a higher base frequency. The memory clocks also differ: the RX 9060 XT LP runs at 2518 MHz with 20.1 Gbps effective, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data indicates the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP performs well in compute-focused tests. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 88183 is strong, and its Geekbench Vulkan score of 39476 provides a secondary measure. The average benchmark score of 63830 places it in the 89th percentile of all GPUs in the database, which means it ranks above the vast majority of recorded hardware. This suggests the RX 9060 XT LP is a capable choice for applications that rely on OpenCL compute, such as certain rendering, simulation, or analysis tasks.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER shows a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5. Since this is the only recorded benchmark, any conclusion about its wins must be limited to that specific DirectX 12 workload. The card's 36th percentile placement reflects this narrow testing, and the nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 at an identical score, which indicates parity in that one test. The presence of lower-tier rivals like the NVIDIA Quadro K620 and AMD Radeon R7 M350 in the nearest list suggests the recorded score does not capture the full performance envelope.

For ray tracing and tensor workloads, the database shows a structural advantage for the NVIDIA card. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 70 ray tracing cores and 280 tensor cores, while the RX 9060 XT LP has 32 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. These specifications imply the NVIDIA part can handle hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI-based features more extensively, though no benchmark scores in the database verify this directly. The AMD card lacks tensor cores entirely, so any machine learning or DLSS-style acceleration would rely on other methods.

The power and thermal profiles suggest different use cases. The RX 9060 XT LP has a TDP of 140 W and uses a single 8-pin power connector, with a suggested PSU of 300 W. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a TDP of 350 W and uses a single 16-pin power connector, with no suggested PSU listed. The lower power draw of the AMD card makes it more suitable for compact or power-constrained builds, while the NVIDIA card demands a more robust power delivery system.

The Verdict

The data points toward different audiences for each card. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP, with its 89th percentile ranking and strong Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores, appears well-suited for compute-heavy tasks and systems with modest power budgets. Its 140 W TDP and single 8-pin connector make it a flexible option for smaller builds, and the 16 GB GDDR6 memory provides ample capacity for many workloads.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, despite its low percentile ranking, offers a much larger feature set on paper. The 8960 shading units, 280 tensor cores, 70 ray tracing cores, and 896.0 GB/s of GDDR7 bandwidth indicate substantial raw capability. However, the database only records a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score, and its nearest rival at an identical score is the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102. The higher TDP of 350 W and larger physical dimensions require a more substantial power supply and chassis.

Users seeking a compact, efficient card with proven compute performance in the database should consider the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP. Users prioritizing the architectural advantages of Blackwell 2.0, including tensor cores and extensive ray tracing hardware, should note the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, but the recorded benchmark evidence for it is currently limited. The choice hinges on whether the measured scores or the specification sheet carries more weight for the intended application.
