Between the Arc B570 and GeForce RTX 5070, the Arc B570 comes out ahead in tdp and boost clock, while the GeForce RTX 5070 wins on cuda / stream cores and ray tracing cores. Overall, the Arc B570 scores 54.1 and the GeForce RTX 5070 scores 62.3 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The GeForce RTX 5070 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 8.2 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the Arc B570 if you care most about tdp and boost clock. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp, boost clock.
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. Its strongest claims are cuda / stream cores, ray tracing cores, 3dmark time spy, among others.
There are no meaningful ties on the headline specs — every popular-comparison metric has a winner.
Bottom line: the GeForce RTX 5070 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
