GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

2017

Why buy it

✅1.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Costs $4,000 less on MSRP ($399 MSRP vs $4,399 MSRP).
✅Delivers 1054% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 36.8 vs 3.2 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $4,399 MSRP).
✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs Unknown).
✅Draws 180W instead of 475W, a 295W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.

Radeon Pro Vega II Duo

2019

Why buy it

✅More future proof: GCN 5.1 (2018−2022) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 1070 Ti across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 1070 Ti better than Radeon Pro Vega II Duo?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. GeForce GTX 1070 Ti averages 1.9% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 14,673 vs 14,018 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is the overall package: you are getting no meaningful modern upscaling stack, plus much lower power draw (180W vs 475W).

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

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting more VRAM at 8 GB instead of Unknown and the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $399 MSRP. GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is about $4,000 cheaper on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $4,399 MSRP, and you are getting 1.9% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 4.7% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Pro Vega II Duo is the newer 2019 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon Pro Vega II Duo make more sense than GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?

Yes. Radeon Pro Vega II Duo is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture and staying closer to $4,399 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. The trade-off is that GeForce GTX 1070 Ti currently gives you 4.7% higher G3D Mark and 1.9% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 1054%.
