✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅More future proof: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌69.2% higher power demand at 220W vs 130W.

Radeon Pro 5700

2020

Why buy it

✅Draws 130W instead of 220W, a 90W reduction.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 better than Radeon Pro 5700?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 3070 averages 91.5% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 22,172 vs 11,469 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3070 is a 2020 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon Pro 5700 is a 2020 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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?

GeForce RTX 3070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting 93.3% more raw performance headroom and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling. 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?

GeForce RTX 3070 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3070 is about $300 cheaper on MSRP at $499 MSRP versus $799 MSRP, and you are getting 91.5% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 93.3% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 209.5%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Radeon Pro 5700 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon Pro 5700 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $799 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 3070 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
