If you are choosing between these two today, buy the Radeon RX 9070 XT: it has 16 GB of video memory instead of 12, and Tom's Hardware measured it 21% faster than the RTX 5070 at 1440p ultra without ray tracing. The RTX 5070 only makes more sense if the games you play support NVIDIA's DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, or if you want a card that draws 54 W less at full load.
\n\nBoth are ASUS Prime models from our catalog, both sit in the same price band right now ([banda:PRD-000102] for the GeForce, [banda:PRD-000140] for the Radeon), and ASUS asks for a 750 W power supply for each. So this is not a budget question. It is a question of memory, raw speed and features, and below is each one with its source next to it: the spec sheets side by side, what the press measured, where 12 GB falls short, and the power supply that covers either card. If you want to line them up with other parts, the comparator and the PC builder already have both.

Table: ASUS Prime RTX 5070 vs ASUS Prime RX 9070 XT OC. Memory, size, connectors, outputs and the 750 W figure come from the RTX 5070 spec sheet and the RX 9070 XT spec sheet on asus.com; official power and the chip makers' power supply figures come from NVIDIA and AMD as listed in our PSU calculator. Updated October 4, 2026.
\n\nTwo rows matter more than the rest. Memory: 16 GB against 12 GB is the difference you cannot fix later with a setting. Power: 54 W less on the GeForce by the official figures, which is less heat for your case to move. The 8 mm of extra length on the Radeon does not change anything in practice, as you will see in the case section.
\n\nWe have not run these cards ourselves, so the performance numbers come from someone who did. In its launch review of March 5, 2025, Tom's Hardware measured the RX 9070 XT ahead of the RTX 5070 by 21% at 1440p ultra, 29% at 4K and 14-15% at 1080p, across 16 games without ray tracing and without upscaling. With ray tracing on, the same review put the Radeon 16-20% ahead at ultra settings and 10% ahead at 1080p medium, across six games. In that ray tracing set, the GeForce was slightly ahead in one game, Minecraft with path tracing.
\n\nTwo caveats so you read those numbers right. They come from launch drivers, and both brands have shipped many driver updates since. And they are native rendering: once you turn on upscaling, the comparison becomes DLSS 4 against FSR 4, which is where the GeForce gets its strongest argument. NVIDIA reserves DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation for RTX 50 cards, and by Gamescom 2025 it counted more than 175 games and apps with DLSS 4. FSR 4 is AMD's machine-learning upscaler, built for the RDNA 4 architecture of the RX 9000 cards; check AMD's list for the games you play. If the two or three games you play the most are on NVIDIA's list and not on AMD's, that weighs more than any average.
\n\nThe clearest example this month is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Activision's PC requirements, read again on October 4, ask for 8 GB of video memory for the recommended tier (90 FPS in multiplayer on High, as Activision's target) and 16 GB for the ray tracing tier at 4K upscaled, where Activision names the RX 9070 XT or the RTX 5070 Ti. Both of our cards clear the recommended tier; only the Radeon matches the ray tracing tier on memory. We broke the three tiers down in the Modern Warfare 4 PC requirements guide, you can check your own PC in Can my PC run it?, and the 115 GB the game asks for on an SSD is a good reason to read our SSD guide before launch day.
\n\nIt is not only one game. In the same review, Tom's Hardware noted that maxing out Spider-Man: Miles Morales needs more than 8 GB and that even 12 GB cards can struggle at times. I keep a graphics card for years, and memory is the spec I would least want to be short on. If you play at 1440p and are not sure which resolution your next monitor will be, the guide on 1080p, 1440p or 4K by graphics card helps you size it.
\n\nI game at 1440p on an RTX 3060 with 12 GB. If I replaced it today with one of these two, my money goes to the Radeon, for three reasons I can point to: four more gigabytes of memory, the lead Tom's Hardware measured at 1440p and 4K, and the fact that it already matches Activision's ray tracing tier for Modern Warfare 4. For a 1440p monitor at 144 Hz or more, it is the card in this pair with more headroom.
\n\nWhere it falls short: 304 W official, so more heat to move out of the case, and three 8-pin connectors, so your power supply needs three 8-pin PCIe plugs free. ASUS asks for 750 W for it, and here AMD agrees. And if a game you love only has DLSS, you give that up.
\n\n[producto:PRD-000140]
\n\nThe GeForce is not a bad card; it is a narrower one. It makes sense if your games support DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation and you are happy to play with it on, if you want a 250 W card in a small or warm room, or if your power supply already has a native 16-pin cable and you prefer one connector to three. ASUS also puts a 1-to-2 adapter cable in the box, per its spec sheet, so an older power supply with 8-pin cables can still run it.
\n\nThe catch is the 12 GB, for the reasons above. If you like NVIDIA but want 16 GB, the step up is the GIGABYTE RTX 5070 Ti WINDFORCE OC SFF 16G ([banda:PRD-000103]), the NVIDIA card Activision names for its ray tracing tier; we place it in context in our guide to graphics cards for 2026.
\n\n[producto:PRD-000102]
\n\nOur calculator with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the RTX 5070 gives 470 W at full load and a 650 W power supply; with the RX 9070 XT it gives 524 W and 750 W. ASUS asks for 750 W for both of its cards, and when the card maker asks for more than the calculator, the card maker wins. So the floor is 750 W either way, and 850 W if you want room for a bigger card later. With a Ryzen 5 9600X the totals drop (415 and 469 W) but the floor stays the same, because it comes from ASUS and AMD, not from the total. Our watts guide explains where each part of that number comes from.
\n\nThe MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 covers both cards: 850 W, 80 Plus Gold, fully modular, with one native 16-pin PCIe 5.0 cable rated at 600 W for the GeForce and four 6+2-pin connectors for the three the Radeon needs, according to MSI's spec page. If you go with the RTX 5070 and want exactly the 750 W ASUS asks for, the Corsair RM750e ([banda:PRD-000039]) is the one in our catalog, and Corsair lists a native 12V-2x6 cable for it.
\n\n[producto:PRD-000141]
\n\nCase: the RTX 5070 measures 304 mm and the RX 9070 XT 312 mm, per ASUS. Every one of the 27 cases in Will it fit? takes a card of at least 330 mm (the Jonsbo D41 Mesh is the tightest), so either card fits all of them. If you are picking the case too, our case guide puts airflow first, and that counts more with a 304 W card. And if your processor is a few generations old, run the two-minute bottleneck test before you spend on either one.
\n\nWe have no lab and we have not run these two cards. Memory, size, connectors, outputs and the 750 W figure come from ASUS's spec sheets; official power and the chip makers' power supply figures from NVIDIA and AMD as stored in our calculator; the power supply's connector list from MSI. The performance figures are Tom's Hardware's, from its March 5, 2025 review, and they are cited as that, not as ours. Price bands come from our catalog and move with Amazon. No brand pays to appear here.
\n\nI write every guide with the help of AI tools for research and drafting; I decide which products make the cut, check every figure against the manufacturer's spec sheet and the price on the day I verify it, and sign the text. — Samuel
\n\nYes, by 21% at 1440p ultra without ray tracing and by 16-20% with ray tracing at ultra settings, according to Tom's Hardware's March 2025 review. Those are native-resolution figures from launch drivers; with upscaling on, DLSS 4 on the GeForce changes the picture in the games that support it.
\n\n750 W: that is what AMD and ASUS ask for, and what our calculator gives with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D (524 W at full load). Go to 850 W if you want room for a bigger card later, and check that it has three 8-pin PCIe plugs for the ASUS Prime.
\n\n650 W by NVIDIA's figure and by our calculator with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D (470 W at full load), but ASUS asks for 750 W for its Prime model. Buy 750 W, ideally with a native 16-pin cable.
\n\nFor Modern Warfare 4's recommended tier, yes: Activision asks for 8 GB there. For its ray tracing tier at 4K upscaled, no: Activision asks for 16 GB, which is why it names the RX 9070 XT and the RTX 5070 Ti, not the RTX 5070.
\n\nYes, if your case is one of the 27 in our Will it fit? tool: the card measures 312 mm per ASUS, and every one of them takes at least 330 mm. If your case is not on that list, compare 312 mm with the maximum graphics card length on its maker's page.
\n\nRX 9070 XT, with an 850 W power supply like the MSI A850GL, for almost anyone buying one of these two in October 2026: same price band, more memory, and ahead in Tom's Hardware's numbers with and without ray tracing. RTX 5070 only if DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation is in the games you play every week, or if lower power draw matters more to you than four extra gigabytes. If you are building the whole PC around the card, start from our part-by-part value PC guide; and if you are still torn between a laptop and a desktop, read this one first.

ASUS asks for 750 W for both of its cards, and when the card maker asks for more than the calculator, the card maker wins. So the floor is 750 W either way, and 850 W if you want room for a bigger card later. With a Ryzen 5 9600X the totals drop (415 and 469 W) but the floor stays the same, because it comes from ASUS and AMD, not from the total. Our watts guide explains where each part of that number comes from.

If you go with the RTX 5070 and want exactly the 750 W ASUS asks for, the Corsair RM750e ($80 to $110) is the one in our catalog, and Corsair lists a native 12V-2x6 cable for it.

If you are picking the case too, our case guide puts airflow first, and that counts more with a 304 W card. And if your processor is a few generations old, run the two-minute bottleneck test before you spend on either one.
\n\nWe have no lab and we have not run these two cards. Memory, size, connectors, outputs and the 750 W figure come from ASUS's spec sheets; official power and the chip makers' power supply figures from NVIDIA and AMD as stored in our calculator; the power supply's connector list from MSI. The performance figures are Tom's Hardware's, from its March 5, 2025 review, and they are cited as that, not as ours. Price bands come from our catalog and move with Amazon. No brand pays to appear here.

\n\nYes, by 21% at 1440p ultra without ray tracing and by 16-20% with ray tracing at ultra settings, according to Tom's Hardware's March 2025 review. Those are native-resolution figures from launch drivers; with upscaling on, DLSS 4 on the GeForce changes the picture in the games that support it.
\n\n750 W: that is what AMD and ASUS ask for, and what our calculator gives with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D (524 W at full load). Go to 850 W if you want room for a bigger card later, and check that it has three 8-pin PCIe plugs for the ASUS Prime.
\n\n650 W by NVIDIA's figure and by our calculator with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D (470 W at full load), but ASUS asks for 750 W for its Prime model. Buy 750 W, ideally with a native 16-pin cable.
\n\nFor Modern Warfare 4's recommended tier, yes: Activision asks for 8 GB there. For its ray tracing tier at 4K upscaled, no: Activision asks for 16 GB, which is why it names the RX 9070 XT and the RTX 5070 Ti, not the RTX 5070.
\n\nYes, if your case is one of the 27 in our Will it fit? tool: the card measures 312 mm per ASUS, and every one of them takes at least 330 mm. If your case is not on that list, compare 312 mm with the maximum graphics card length on its maker's page.
\n\nRX 9070 XT, with an 850 W power supply like the MSI A850GL, for almost anyone buying one of these two in October 2026: same price band, more memory, and ahead in Tom's Hardware's numbers with and without ray tracing. RTX 5070 only if DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation is in the games you play every week, or if lower power draw matters more to you than four extra gigabytes. If you are building the whole PC around the card, start from our part-by-part value PC guide; and if you are still torn between a laptop and a desktop, read this one first.
