GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design vs Radeon Pro 5700: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design

2019

Why buy it

  • 21.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • Draws 80W instead of 130W, a 50W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 14.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $799 MSRP).

Radeon Pro 5700

2020

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 14.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($799 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • More future proof: RDNA 1.0 (2019−2020) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • 62.5% higher power demand at 130W vs 80W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 21.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon Pro 5700 instead at 11,469 vs 11,461, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon Pro 5700 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020), a 7nm process instead of 12nm, and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2019. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon Pro 5700 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
