NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 Ti vs AMD - Radeon RX 7900 XTX
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 7900 XTX |
|---|---|---|
| TDP | 300 W | 355 W |
| VRAM | 16 GB | 24 GB |
| Memory bus | 256 bit | 384 bit |
| CUDA / Stream cores | 8960 | 6144 |
| Ray tracing cores | 70 | 96 |
| 3DMark Time Spy | 20100 | 21000 |
Between the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and Radeon RX 7900 XTX, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti comes out ahead in tdp / cuda / stream cores, while the Radeon RX 7900 XTX wins on vram / memory bus. Overall, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti scores 68.1 and the Radeon RX 7900 XTX scores 70.5 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (68.1 vs 70.5). 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 5070 Ti if you care most about tdp / cuda / stream cores. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp, cuda / stream cores, dlss. The single most decisive one: TDP — 55.00 W less. 300 vs 355.
Pick the Radeon RX 7900 XTX 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 vram, memory bus, ray tracing cores, among others. The single most decisive one: VRAM — 50.00% more. 24 GB vs 16 GB.
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 5070 Ti or AMD - Radeon RX 7900 XTX?
AMD - Radeon RX 7900 XTX leads the current Mars Score by 2.4 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.
