RTX 5070 Ti vs RX 9070 XT

The RTX 5070 Ti and RX 9070 XT target adjacent price points — $749 versus $599 — but deliver very different results in Blender. NVIDIA's card posts 7,582 combined Blender points against AMD's 3,133, a 2.4× lead, while both cards draw roughly equal power (300W vs 304W TDP). The efficiency gap in rendering is stark: 25.3 pts/W vs 10.3 pts/W. For Geekbench 6 OpenCL the gap narrows to 248,739 vs 179,178, a more modest 39% lead. Both cards ship with 16GB of VRAM, making large scene work viable on either. The RTX 5070 Ti costs $150 more but delivers substantially more Blender throughput per dollar (10.1 vs 5.2 pts/$). Creators who render primarily in Blender will find the premium justifiable; those who split time between gaming and creative work may prefer AMD's lower entry cost.
