NVIDIA RTX 5070 vs AMD RX 9070
How much faster one is than the other, and the resolution at which that difference turns into real frames. Reference: AMD Ryzen 9 7900, 32 GB of RAM.
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 and the AMD RX 9070 perform the same in practice: a 0% average difference is not perceptible while playing. Decide on price, power draw or availability.
WHERE IT STARTS MATTERING
Real-world advantage of the NVIDIA RTX 5070 over the AMD RX 9070 at each resolution, paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900. At low resolution the processor caps both cards equally, so the faster one delivers nothing extra until the load moves onto the graphics card.

HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
The per-game frame rates are the ceiling each card sustains on its own at that resolution, with no processor limiting it. The resolution table does include the processor, because that is where you see whether the difference reaches you.
Native resolution, no upscaling and no frame generation. Measured model error · Methodology
