Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 better than Radeon AI PRO R9700?

Yes. GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 49.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data, 6.3% higher PassMark G3D performance, and DLSS 4 + Multi Frame Gen.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting better frame-generation support with DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation (2025) 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 5090 D v2 is about 53.9% more expensive on MSRP at $1,999 MSRP versus $1,299 MSRP, and you are getting 49.7% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 6.3% higher G3D Mark. Radeon AI PRO R9700 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Radeon AI PRO R9700 still makes more sense on price alone and remains capable enough for modern gaming.

Is Radeon AI PRO R9700 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon AI PRO R9700 is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is excellent for 1080p and 1440p maxed-out gaming, and still very capable for 4K in many titles. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to $1,299 MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 earns that extra money with a clearly stronger gaming result and a more complete overall package.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 is support for DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The Radeon AI PRO R9700 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce RTX 5090 D v2 gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon AI PRO R9700 relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
