We have no way of knowing how many of those cards Newegg sells each week, or when more will arrive. Newegg as an example shows cards ranging from $500 (only one of those) up to $830. Street pricing at respectable retail outlets is a different story, a story of empty shelves. Or at least, that's what you'd have to spend if you wanted to take a chance on eBay. That means you get a few percent less performance for about 25% less money. Remember when the RTX 3090 launched with a starting price of $1,500 and everyone thought that was exorbitant? Right now, you'll have to spend almost that much to nab an RTX 3070 off eBay, and it's about 30% slower than the 3090.ĪMD's RX 6700 XT, by comparison, looks far more reasonable, with an average eBay selling price of only $984. Right now, the cost of a new high-end graphics card is laughable - or it would be if we weren't crying so hard. We've already mentioned pricing and the discrepancies between official prices and real-world costs. If you're after higher frame rates, RTX 3070 beats RX 6700 XT in most of the games we've tested. DLSS seals the deal, considering over 30 major games now support the tech, along with Unreal Engine and Unity, and AMD still doesn't have a shipping alternative. Nvidia comes away with a minor win in rasterization gaming performance, but its lead only grows with more demanding rendering scenarios like ray tracing. On paper, the RTX 3070 costs $20 more, which basically means the two compete in the same market segment.
EVGA RTX 3070 1080P
With DLSS, Nvidia's 1440p performance basically doubles AMD's 1080p performance.ĪMD's RX 6700 XT probably wasn't intended to compete directly with Nvidia's RTX 3070, but the graphics card market is all kinds of messed up right now in terms of pricing tiers. Right now, the RTX 3070 at 1440p surpasses what the RX 6700 XT manages at 1080p with ray tracing.

There's also a growing number of games that don't use ray tracing but still support DLSS, because in the Quality mode it's basically a free performance boost on RTX cards.įidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) can't get here soon enough, but we're also skeptical that it can close the gap without compromising on image quality. In other words, with RT and DLSS enabled, the RTX 3070 is three times as fast as the RX 6700 XT at 1440p. For the six games we tested, the RTX 3070 outpaces the RX 6700 XT by nearly 200% - the lead is 172% at 1080p and 205% at 1440p.
Turn on DLSS Quality and it goes from bad to worse. The overall lead ends up at just under 50% in favor of the RTX 3070 at both 1080p and 1440p, with a range of 6% ( Godfall) to 121% ( Minecraft). The 3070's lead grows substantially with RT enabled, and that's before taking into account Nvidia's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), which can boost performance by 30-50% or more without any noticeable loss in image fidelity.Īcross our 10-game DXR test suite, the RX 6700 XT only gets close to the same performance as the RTX 3070 in the AMD-promoted Dirt 5 and Godfall.
Things only get worse for AMD when we look at games that support ray tracing. That means, all told, we tested with six games promoted by AMD versus four games promoted by Nvidia, and Nvidia still came out ahead (barely).
Final Fantasy XIV, Metro Exodus, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider were Nvidia promoted games. While we're on the subject, for the record, The Division 2, Dirt 5, Far Cry 5, and Strange Brigade were also AMD-promoted games. The flip side is also true: Watch Dogs Legion and Metro Exodus are Nvidia promoted games that favor the 3070 more. Valhalla and Borderlands 3 are both AMD promoted games, so those results generally aren't typical.
EVGA RTX 3070 SERIES
There's a catch, naturally: Valhalla is the first game in the Assassin's Creed series to utilize DirectX 12, and we know from experience that it's entirely possible for a developer to favor one GPU over another with low-level APIs. That doesn't mean Nvidia wins every game, however, and a few games strongly favor AMD - Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Borderlands 3, and Forza Horizon 4 all go to the RX 6700 XT, with Valhalla showing a 26% deficit. Overall, 1080p ends up effectively tied, with the RTX 3070 posting a negligible 1% lead. All of the games were tested without ray tracing enabled (if it's supported), so we're looking at traditional rasterization performance.
