The NVIDIA RTX Super vs AMD RX 5700 Comparison! 3.0

Now that both AMD and NVIDIA have already released their RTX SUPER and RX 5700 graphics cards, we thought it would be interesting to compare them!

Let’s compare the performance, value and power efficiency of the NVIDIA RTX Super graphics cards, against the AMD Radeon RX 5700 series graphics cards!

 

NVIDIA RTX Super vs AMD RX 5700 : Specifications

First, let’s take a look at the key specifications of the NVIDIA Super RTX cards, and the new AMD Radeon RX 5700 cards…

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT vs. RTX 2070 SUPER

• They both have the same minimum texture and pixel fill rates.
• The RX 5700 XT has 7.6% higher peak texture and pixel fill rates.
• The RX 5700 XT uses 10 watts (4.7%) more power.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 vs. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

• The RX 5700 XT has 5.6% higher minimum and 10.7% higher peak texture fill rates.
• The RX 5700 XT has a 4.5% higher peak pixel fill rate.
• The RX 5700 XT uses 10 watts (5.7%) more power.

However, these are only paper specifications. NVIDIA also took pains in their RTX SUPER tech briefing to point out (starting at 9:20) that the boost speed of Radeon RX 5700 cards kicks in only occasionally, while GeForce RTX cards will boost whenever thermal limits allow.

RTX 2060 Super vs RX 5700 : Real World Performance

As our article, The AMD Radeon RX 5700 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Performance Comparison showed…

• Both Radeon RX 5700 and GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER cards were equally fast when we averaged the benchmark results of six games.
• The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (US | UK | MY) was slightly faster at 1080p.
• The Radeon RX 5700 (US | UK | MY) was slightly faster at 1440p.

• The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER was notably quieter than the Radeon RX 5700.
• The Radeon RX 5700 has better value for money, after the pre-launch price cut, but the RTX 2060 SUPER comes with two free games.

 

NVIDIA RTX Super vs AMD RX 5700 : Price-Performance Value

Raw performance is one thing, but what about price-performance value? Especially after new RX 5700 price cut? Let’s find out…

Value Evaluation Based On Specifications

* We earlier compared the MAXIMUM fill rates, but it would be fairer to compare their MINIMUM fill rates, because that’s the minimum guaranteed performance level.

Specifications	RTX 2080 SUPER	RX 5700 XT (50th)	RX 5700 XT	RTX 2070 SUPER	RX 5700	RTX 2060 SUPER
Launch Price	$699	$449	$399	$499	$349	$399
Min. Texture Fill Rate	316.8 GT/s	268.8 GT/s	256.8 GT/s	256.8 GT/s	211.0 GT/s	199.9 GT/s
$ Per GT/s	$2.206	$1.670	$1.554	$1.943	$1.654	$1.996
Min. Pixel Fill Rate	105.6 GP/s	107.5 GP/s	102.7 GP/s	102.7 GP/s	93.8 GP/s	94.1 GP/s
$ Per GP/s	$6.619	$4.177	$3.885	$4.859	$3.721	$4.240
AVERAGE $ / (GT/s + GP/s)	$4.413	$2.924	$2.720	$3.401	$2.688	$3.118

Based on the earlier price, the AMD Navi cards had a 20.8% better price-performance value than the NVIDIA RTX SUPER cards.

With the new Radeon RX 5700 price cut, they now have a 23.8% better price-performance value than the NVIDIA RTX SUPER cards. That’s a 14.4% improvement.

Specs-wise, the RX 5700 XT is virtually the same as the RTX 2070 SUPER, but it is now $100 cheaper.

The RX 5700, on the other hand, is about the same as the RTX 2060 SUPER, just $50 cheaper.

RTX 2060 Super vs. RX 5700 Value Comparison

As our article, The AMD Radeon RX 5700 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Performance Comparison showed…

Specifications	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER	AMD Radeon RX 5700 Old Price	AMD Radeon RX 5700 New Price
Launch Price	$399	$379	$349
6 Game Average Frame Rate	86.3 fps	86.0 fps	86.0 fps
$ Per fps	$4.623	$4.407	$4.058

Even though both cards performed the same, the Radeon RX 5700 (US | UK | MY) offered 12.2% better price-performance value.

The price cut really helped a lot. Without it, the Radeon RX 5700 would have offered only 5% better price-performance value, and that’s nothing compared to the two free games from NVIDIA!

NVIDIA RTX Super vs AMD RX 5700 : Performance Per Watt

Now, let’s compare their power efficiency in performance per watt.

Power Efficiency Based On Specifications

Bear in mind that the AMD Navi GPU is built on the newer 7 nm process technology, while the NVIDIA Turing is using the older 12 nm process technology.

Specifications	RTX 2080 SUPER	RX 5700 XT (50th)	RX 5700 XT	RTX 2070 SUPER	RX 5700	RTX 2060 SUPER
Avg Texture Fill Rate	332.7 GT/s	292.8 GT/s	280.8 GT/s	270.0 GT/s	229.7 GT/s	212.2 GT/s
Avg Pixel Fill Rate	110.9 GP/s	117.1 GP/s	112.3 GP/s	108.0 GP/s	102.1 GP/s	99.9 GP/s
TGP	250 watts	235 watts	225 watts	215 watts	185 watts	175 watts
(Texture + Pixel) / TGP	1.774	1.744	1.747	1.758	1.794	1.783

Despite the AMD Navi’s advantage in fabrication technology, the RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 cards had virtually the same power efficiency as the RTX 2070 SUPER and RTX 2060 SUPER cards.

RTX 2060 Super vs. RX 5700 Power Efficiency Comparison

Since we cannot test their actual power consumption, we will have to rely on their rated TGP (Total Graphics Power) specifications.

Specifications	AMD Radeon RX 5700	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
Total Graphics Power (TGP)	185 watts	175 watts
6 Game Average Frame Rate	86.0 fps	86.3 fps
Watt Per fps	2.15	2.03

Despite the AMD Navi’s advantage in fabrication technology, the RTX 2060 SUPER (US | UK | MY) was 5.6% more power efficient than the RX 5700 (US | UK | MY).
