NVIDIA RTX 5070 vs. AMD RX 9070 – Which One Will You Choose?

March 07, 2025

Introduction

The eternal battle between Team Green (NVIDIA) and Team Red (AMD) continues with the launch of two powerful new GPUs: the NVIDIA RTX 5070 and the AMD RX 9070. Both cards are designed to dominate at 1440p and even 4K gaming, but they take different approaches to achieving top-tier performance, offering gamers new ways to experience their favorite titles with cutting-edge technology.

NVIDIA brings DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation, boosting performance with AI-driven frame reconstruction, while AMD counters with FSR 4 AI Upscaling, enhancing clarity and sharpness while maintaining strong native rendering. Both GPUs come with significant upgrades in efficiency, power consumption, and graphical fidelity, ensuring that games look better and run smoother than ever before. With new architectural advancements, both GPUs are set to change how we experience gaming in 2025 and beyond.

So, which GPU is right for you? Today, we’ll break down the specs, compare their strengths, and introduce two brand-new Chillblast gaming PCs featuring these cutting-edge GPUs. Whether you’re a die-hard Team Green fan or loyal to Team Red, this showdown is one you don’t want to miss. Get ready to choose your side and elevate your gaming experience!

Performance & Specs Breakdown

Upscaling Technologies: DLSS 4 vs. FSR 4

Both cards take advantage of AI upscaling, but they do it in different ways:

• DLSS 4 uses a transformer-based AI model and Multi-Frame Generation, allowing the RTX 5070 to produce higher frame rates with AI-assisted interpolation. This means smoother gameplay even at ultra-high resolutions. Additionally, DLSS 4 integrates improved temporal stability, reducing flickering and motion blur artifacts in fast-moving scenes. It also features enhanced detail reconstruction, making distant objects appear sharper and more refined.

• FSR 4 leverages improved AI-driven upscaling, offering a boost in performance while maintaining strong native rendering for higher resolutions. It also provides better support for a wider range of games and GPUs. Unlike DLSS 4, which requires dedicated hardware for AI acceleration, FSR 4 works across a broader selection of GPUs, including older AMD and NVIDIA cards. With refinements in spatial upscaling, FSR 4 ensures that textures and lighting effects remain crisp, even in performance modes that prioritize frame rates over raw image fidelity.

Another major difference is how each technology adapts to variable refresh rates. DLSS 4 dynamically adjusts AI-generated frames to align with G-Sync-enabled monitors, minimizing screen tearing and ensuring a fluid experience. On the other hand, FSR 4 optimizes frame pacing, ensuring consistent smoothness across a wider range of hardware configurations, particularly on FreeSync displays.

If you prioritize higher frame rates with AI-powered smoothness, NVIDIA RTX 5070 might be the better choice. If you want higher raw performance with extra VRAM for future-proofing, AMD RX 9070 is the way to go.
