Radeon RX 6700 XT vs GeForce RTX 5070 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 5070 beats the Radeon RX 6700 XT in gaming performance.

The GeForce RTX 5070 has a slightly 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. Despite this, the Radeon RX 6700 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 6700 XT has a slightly lower TDP at 230 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5070 at 250 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 5070 is faster than the Radeon RX 6700 XT.
