Whether those extra frames are worth an extra $100 to $150 is a call you’ll have to make. Civilization VI and Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, however, are where the 5700 XT fell apart. The gap was far less obvious at 4K than 1080p, but the 5700 XT was always behind by a noticeable margin.īattlefield V was far more favorable to AMD, with the 5700 XT and Radeon VII outpacing the 2070 Super, particularly at 1440p. In Fortnite, the RTX 2070 Super was clearly the more capable card, enjoying between a 10 frames per second and 30 fps advantage over the 5700 XT. That difference was less pronounced in games, with specific titles tending to perform better on one card more than the other. It also nearly matched the score of the far more expensive AMD Radeon VII, but it fell behind the 2070 Super by just over 1,000 points. In our 3DMark Time Spy benchmark, the 5700 XT had a strong showing, pulling even with the RTX 2060 Super. The 5700 XT does draw a little extra power, though. The memory runs at an identical speed and configuration to the Nvidia part, resulting in the same bandwidth for both cards. AMD has also used GDDR6 rather than the more expensive HBM of recent generations.
#AMD RADEON RX 5700 XT SERIES#
The 5700 series has seen a big increase in clock speed over older GPU lines like Vega, helping bring AMD card clocks to near-parity with Nvidia GPUs at stock. That said, there are some intriguing take-homes from these numbers. Since AMD and Nvidia cards are built differently, not every specification is directly comparable. Its more typical clock speed is around 1,755MHz. *Note: The Radeon RX 5700 XT’s “boost clock” is its theoretical maximum under stock conditions and will likely only be met for fractions of a second. Before we get to our benchmark results, though, let’s take a look at the specifications of these cards to see how they measure up. PerformanceĪlthough there are some physical and feature differences between these two cards, when it comes to graphics, the most important factor for most is performance. Although the GPU shortage may take a few years to go away, prices should hopefully start dropping for last-gen cards soon. Regardless, both cards are overpriced right now. They sell out in seconds, but Nvidia and its board partners are still actively restocking the cards, so you can find one new if you look around. That said, it’s a better idea to shop around for an RTX 3070. At $700, the 2070 Super isn’t a bad deal, at least considering the awful state of the GPU market. We found multiple sold cards on eBay for around $700, though some went for above $1,000. Thankfully, the secondhand market isn’t too bad. The cheapest new card we could find was a Zotac Mini card, selling for $1,500. Stock of 2070 Super graphics cards was already dwindling before the GPU shortage, however, so you won’t find one anywhere near that price. The RTX 2070 Super also launched in July 2019 for an MSRP of $499. Neither is worth anywhere near their asking price, so if you can wait for prices to normalize, that’s the best option. You can find the RX 6700 XT on eBay for around $1,000, which is a far better card than the 5700 XT. The latest Steam Survey spells trouble for Nvidiaįor the secondhand market, 5700 XT cards are selling for anywhere from $700 to over $1,500.
