Between the GeForce RTX 5070 and Radeon RX 7700 XT, the GeForce RTX 5070 comes out ahead in cuda / stream cores and 3dmark time spy, while the Radeon RX 7700 XT wins on ray tracing cores and tdp. Overall, the GeForce RTX 5070 scores 62.3 and the Radeon RX 7700 XT scores 59.6 on our Mars Score.

Buying advice

Which should you buy?

These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (62.3 vs 59.6). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.

Pick the GeForce RTX 5070 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are cuda / stream cores, 3dmark time spy, dlss.

Pick the Radeon RX 7700 XT if you care most about ray tracing cores and tdp. Its strongest claims are ray tracing cores, tdp, boost clock.

Both ship with comparable vram, memory bus, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
