GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

2017

Why buy it

✅Costs $80 less on MSRP ($399 MSRP vs $479 MSRP).
✅Delivers 17% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 36.8 vs 31.4 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $479 MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon RX 6700S across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
❌Poor future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌125% higher power demand at 180W vs 80W.

Radeon RX 6700S

2022

Why buy it

✅4.5% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

✅More future proof: RDNA 2.0 (2020−2025) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 80W instead of 180W, a 100W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌
20.1% HIGHER MSRP

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX 6700S better than GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?

Yes. Radeon RX 6700S is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon RX 6700S averages 4.5% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 15,061 vs 14,673 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon RX 6700S is a 2022 card with FSR 3 + AFMF, while GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is a 2017 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon RX 6700S is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2022 generation instead of 2017, better upscaling support with FSR 3 (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and better frame-generation support with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 7nm process instead of 16nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon RX 6700S is the smarter buy by a wide margin. Radeon RX 6700S is about 20.1% more expensive on MSRP at $479 MSRP versus $399 MSRP, and you are getting 4.5% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 2.6% higher G3D Mark. GeForce GTX 1070 Ti really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is GeForce GTX 1070 Ti still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is 2017 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM, 14,673 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the Radeon RX 6700S is support for FSR Frame Generation + AFMF. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon RX 6700S relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
