Where they actually differ
The most decisive specs, ranked by how much they matter — before the full spec table.
| Spec | NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 Ti | AMD - Radeon RX 7800 XT |
|---|---|---|
| CUDA / Stream cores | 8960 | 3840 |
| TDP | 300 W | 263 W |
| 3DMark Time Spy | 20100 | 16500 |
| Ray tracing cores | 70 | 60 |
| DLSS | true | false |
| Boost clock | 2452 MHz | 2430 MHz |
Between the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and Radeon RX 7800 XT, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti comes out ahead in cuda / stream cores / 3dmark time spy, while the Radeon RX 7800 XT wins on tdp. Overall, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti scores 68.1 and the Radeon RX 7800 XT scores 63.9 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti edges ahead on the Mars Score (68.1 vs 63.9), but the 4.2-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5070 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 cuda / stream cores, 3dmark time spy, ray tracing cores, among others. The single most decisive one: CUDA / Stream cores — 133.33% more. 8960 vs 3840.
Pick the Radeon RX 7800 XT if you care most about tdp. Its strongest claims are tdp. The single most decisive one: TDP — 37.00 W less. 263 vs 300.
Both ship with comparable vram, memory bus, so those specs do not 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 says both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
Which should you buy: NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or AMD - Radeon RX 7800 XT?
NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 Ti leads the current Mars Score by 4.2 points.The more useful decision is the trade-off behind that result: compare cuda / stream cores, boost clock, tdp against the way you will actually use the product.
