Radeon RX 590 vs GeForce RTX 5070 Ti comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti beats the Radeon RX 590 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 590 has a significantly lower TDP at 175 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti at 300 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is better than the Radeon RX 590.
