5070 blows the sheet-tastic 9070 out of the water when you include all card capabilities. AMD still has no clue how to make drivers and they haven't actually come up with their own tech like ever, instead of tacking it on, poorly as well mind you, similar tech to whatever nVidia has already released.
'5070 blows the 9070 out of the water'.
In rasterization, which covers the vast majority of gaming, the RX 9070 leads the RTX 5070 by 0-18% depending on the game at the same price point, with 16GB VRAM versus 12GB, and with actually good Linux support. GamersNexus called the RTX 5070 'basically out of the conversation' at this price point. The 5070 wins in ray tracing and frame generation. But 'blows it out of the water' requires ignoring that AMD's card is faster in most games at the same price with more VRAM. That's not getting blown out of the water. That's the opposite.
'AMD still has no clue how to make drivers'
Meme, and actually hilarious, considering how bad the 5000 series drivers have been. The RTX 5000 launch drivers caused BSODs across RTX 30, 40 and 50 series simultaneously, were pulled, and Nvidia prioritized fixing 50 series while leaving 30 and 40 series owners with ongoing crashes for months.
And it's not the only incident. Nvidia's own drivers caused 28.8% of all Windows Vista crashes according to Microsoft's court documents, versus ATI's 9%, despite only a 60/40 market share split. Nvidia's crash rate per card was roughly three times worse.
Driver 196.75 physically destroyed graphics cards by disabling fan cooling. The GTX 590 blew up on nine reviewers' test benches due to missing overcurrent protection in shipping drivers. The AMD driver meme was built during the period Nvidia was having the worst driver disasters in GPU history, which is extremely ironic. AMD never physically killed graphics cards with a driver. Nvidia did it... Twice.
'AMD hasn't come up with their own tech like ever'
Oh really...?
TruForm hardware tessellation in 2001, a full decade before Nvidia was forced to implement it in DX11.
The unified shader architecture in the Xbox 360 which directly influenced DirectX 10, which is the foundation every modern GPU including Nvidia's is built on.
Mantle, which became Vulkan, which runs every cross-platform game today, donated to the industry for free by AMD.
HBM memory.
Smart Access Memory (Resizable bar) to improve gaming performance. Nvidia copied it.
That they make everything open source does not mean they didn't invent anything.
Three confident claims. Zero accurate ones.
