NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5060 Ti vs AMD - Radeon RX 7700 XT
Where they actually differ
The most decisive specs, ranked by how much they matter — before the full spec table.
| Spec | NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5060 Ti | AMD - Radeon RX 7700 XT |
|---|---|---|
| TDP | 180 W | 245 W |
| Memory bus | 128 bit | 192 bit |
| Ray tracing cores | 36 | 54 |
| VRAM | 16 GB | 12 GB |
| CUDA / Stream cores | 4608 | 3456 |
| 3DMark Time Spy | 13200 | 14800 |
Between the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and Radeon RX 7700 XT, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti comes out ahead in tdp / vram, while the Radeon RX 7700 XT wins on memory bus / ray tracing cores. Overall, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti scores 63.4 and the Radeon RX 7700 XT scores 61.6 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (63.4 vs 61.6). The decision is not about overall quality — both clear the bar — it is about which specific trade-offs fit your use.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 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 tdp, vram, cuda / stream cores, among others. The single most decisive one: TDP — 65.00 W less. 180 vs 245.
Pick the Radeon RX 7700 XT if you care most about memory bus / ray tracing cores. Its strongest claims are memory bus, ray tracing cores, 3dmark time spy. The single most decisive one: Memory bus — 50.00% more. 192 bit vs 128 bit.
There are no meaningful ties on the headline specs — every popular-comparison metric has a winner.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity says both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
Which should you buy: NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5060 Ti or AMD - Radeon RX 7700 XT?
NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5060 Ti leads the current Mars Score by 1.8 points.The more useful decision is the trade-off behind that result: compare vram, cuda / stream cores, boost clock, tdp against the way you will actually use the product.
