GeForce RTX 3070

2020

Why buy it

✅72.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Costs $300 less on MSRP ($499 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
✅Delivers 146.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 44.4 vs 18.0 G3D/$ ($499 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅More future proof: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Radeon Pro W5700

2019

Why buy it

✅Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 3070 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
❌Weaker long-term outlook: GeForce RTX 3070 is the safer future-proof pick thanks to newer hardware and better gaming feature support.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 better than Radeon Pro W5700?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3070 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 72.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data, 54.2% higher PassMark G3D performance, and DLSS 2 Super Resolution. It also comes from 2020 instead of 2019, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

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

GeForce RTX 3070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2019, 54.2% more raw performance headroom, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution 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 3070 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3070 is about $300 cheaper on MSRP at $499 MSRP versus $799 MSRP, and you are getting 72.8% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 54.2% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 146.9%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Radeon Pro W5700 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon Pro W5700 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $799 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 3070 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
