Radeon RX 6800 vs GeForce RTX 5070 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 6800 in our tests.

Our database shows that 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 5070 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, both the Radeon RX 6800 and the GeForce RTX 5070 have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 5070 is faster than the Radeon RX 6800.
