AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

Radeon RX 6500 XT vs GeForce RTX 5070 comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 5070 beats the Radeon RX 6500 XT in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 5070 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the Radeon RX 6500 XT has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6500 XT has a significantly lower TDP at 107 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5070 at 250 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 is better than the Radeon RX 6500 XT.
