Gameplay Performance
In the section below, we are comparing performance at 1440p (2650×1440) as this is the primary target resolution for the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition. We are using a factory-overclocked XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC White Gaming Edition and stock clocked AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT video card in addition to a factory-overclocked PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 7900 GRE. In games, we are selecting the highest preset.
Alan Wake 2
In plain raster, all our video cards are playable. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC White Gaming Edition takes the top spot by quite a margin, 23%. The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition reaches 73 FPS and gets quite a boost in upscaling. It is still overcome by the PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 7900 GRE from the last generation by 5%, however. The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT brings up last place by 13%. The overclock will gain you 7% in this game.
Black Myth: Wukong
This is a tough game graphically. None of the cards is playable until upscaled. There is a 4% difference between the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC White Gaming Edition and the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition, which holds up when applying upscaling as well. None of the last generation’s video cards are playable with upscaling. The overclock gains about 8%, and with that will actually allow the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition to take the top spot in this game.
Cyberpunk 2077
All of the cards are very fast in this game in plain raster. Upscaling simply makes things even faster. Our ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition shows 108 FPS, but that isn’t enough by 12% to catch the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC White Gaming Edition. Our card does best the PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 7900 GRE by 4% and the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT by 16%. Overclocking gains 6%.
Horizon Forbidden West
Once again, all the video cards are playable with fast FPS and no real need for upscaling. The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition is very fast but still falls behind the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC White Gaming Edition by a whopping 21%. The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition outperform the older cards by 6% and 20%, respectively. Overclocking will gain 5% here and edge a bit closer to the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC White Gaming Edition.
Kingdom Come: Deliverence II
Three of four cards are playable here without upscaling. The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition shows a nice result and is even faster with its overclock. Margins here are 10,27 and 55% as your eye tracks down the graph. The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is not playable until upscaling is enabled.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
In STALKER 2, we see that two cards are playable, and the other two are not. Technically, the PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 7900 GRE passes the mark, but it struggles. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC White Gaming Edition is once again more capable by 4% but dead even when upscaling is added. When we overeclock the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition, it is the top card, but just barely.

The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC White Gaming Edition captures the top by 4%. Things get very close when the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition is overclocked. The advantage over the last generation cards is 20%.
