NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 vs AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060
► remove from comparison
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 is a mid-range desktop graphics card utilizing the GB206 chip based on the Blackwell architecture with 3,840 CUDA cores. The 5060 offers 8 GB GDDR7 graphics memory with a 128-bit memory bus. Additionally, the model features 30 RT-cores and 120 Tensor Cores (5th Gen).
Performance
Thanks to the bump in dedicated RT/CUDA cores and new architecture, the card is expected to offer better performance compared to the previous RTX 4060. The RTX 5060 is expected to be one of the fastest mid-range GPUs in 2025.
According to our tests, RTX 5060 is 32% ahead of the previous-gen RTX 4060, but also 14% behind the RTX 5060 Ti in the synthetic benchmarks and professional applications. The gaming performance is up to 26% better than that of the RTX 4060, but at the same time, the model trails the RTX 5070 by 34%.
Power consumption
The GB206 chip is manufactured in the modern 4N FinFET process at TSMC and specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 145 Watts (35 W higher than RTX 4060).
AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT
► remove from comparison
The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is a mid-range desktop GPU and is primarily designed for gaming in 1440p. This makes the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT the fourth-fastest model of the current Radeon generation and places it directly behind the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE. The graphics chip is manufactured using the 5 nm process at TSMC. The chiplet design is also used in the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, although there are only four MCDs here. Nevertheless, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT has 16 GB of VRAM, beating the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 in terms of technical data.
Features
RDNA 3 continues to serve as the basis for the Navi 32 graphics chip. The already established features such as SAM (Smart Access Memory) and the Infinity Cache are also available in the new mid-range model aka Radeon RX 7800 XT. Compared to the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT the ray tracing part has been revised and AI support has been implemented on the hardware side. The media engine has been updated and videos can be decoded/encoded with a resolution of up to 8K. The modern DisplayPort connection is also available on the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, as version 2.1 is currently only available from AMD. AMD's answer to DLSS is FSR 2.0 and offers a significant increase in performance in games with the upscaling option. With FSR 3, there will be another feature in the near future which, like DLSS 3.0, promises even better frame rates thanks to frame generation.
Performance
The performance of the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT in games without ray tracing is well ahead of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is out of reach for the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT. In the in-house duel, the performance of the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT can be compared with an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT can be compared.
Power consumption
The power consumption of the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is estimated by the manufacturer at 263 watts (TBP) and is therefore significantly more efficient than an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (300 watts). Compared to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT requires 63 watts more. Also an AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE is also more economical at 260 watts.
