In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT HIS 8GB are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile.
The RX 5700 XT has a 390 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 2070. This results in the RX 5700 XT providing 81.8 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX 5700 XT has a 390 MHz higher core clock speed than the RTX 2070 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the RX 5700 XT providing 24.9 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 5700 XT was released less than a year after the RTX 2070, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT HIS 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the Radeon RX 5700 XT HIS 8GB and the GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile are the same, which means the RX 5700 XT and the RTX 2070 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT HIS 8GB has 2560 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile has 2304. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5700 XT is 3170 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 2070 is 3318. The RTX 2070 having 148 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the RX 5700 XT performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The RX 5700 XT transistor size technology is 5 nm (nanometers) smaller than the RTX 2070. This means that the RX 5700 XT is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the RTX 2070.
The Radeon RX 5700 XT HIS 8GB requires 225 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile requires 115 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RX 5700 XT. The RX 5700 XT requires 110 Watts more than the RTX 2070 to run. The difference is significant enough that the RX 5700 XT may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 2070.

| Mini Review | Overview The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT HIS 8GB is an Enthusiast gaming Graphics Card based on the first (1.0) Revision of the RDNA Architecture. Architecture The Navi 10 XL GPU offers support for GDDR6 Memory, DirectX 12.0, Vulkan 1.0, and OpenGL 4.5. This variant of the Navi 10 XL GPU features 40 Compute Units activated, offering 2560 Shader Processing Units, 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The GPU features a 1605 MHz base clock speed and up to 1905 MHz with boost clock, making it an estimated 15% faster than a Radeon RX Vega 64. This puts its predicted performance roughly in line with the GeForce RTX 2080. GPU The Central Unit is clocked at 1605 MHz, rising to 1905 MHz with boost clock enabled. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with high-speed GDDR6 and accesses the Frame Buffer through a 256-bit memory interface, providing total memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 8GB. Under most circumstances, this only proves useful in certain 3D Games whose Settings Require Large Amounts of Memory. However,the GPU itself is aimed for 4K Gaming, In some limited scenarios, 8GB might be a bottleneck and Performance could be better were the Frame Buffer larger, however this would only be an issue in the most demanding games. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 225W, it requires at least a 600W PSU with one available 8+6-pin connector. Performance The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT HIS 8GB competes with GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, which is available for $599. Specs currently available suggest the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT HIS 8GB performance should be in the same region as the GeForce RTX 2070. System Suggestions The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT HIS 8GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840 x2160 (4K). For the most demanding AAA games it should be ideally suited to 4K. We recommend a Very Strong Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview The GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile card is a high-end RTX 20 Series graphics card for laptops and considered an enthusiast graphics card based on the Turing GPU architecture. Architecture It equips a Turing GPU Codenamed TU106 which is a First Gen Turing GPU and has 36 SM activated, offering 2304 Shader Processing Units, 144 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The Turing architecture provides the world's first consumer support for real-time ray-tracing technology, or RTX. It also has 288 Tensor Cores for AI purposes. GPU The TU106 GPU used in the GeForce RTX 2070 Mobility is clocked lower than the desktop variant, caused decreased performances. The standard model has a base clock speed of 1215 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1440 MHz. Memory The GPU accesses an 8GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 256-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1500MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 80-115W the RTX 2070 Mobile is fairly power hungry and will significantly reduce laptop battery life at full load. System Suggestions GeForce GRTX 2070 Mobile is capable of resolutions all the way up to 3840x2160 but is best suited for 1440p displays. We recommend a high-end processor and 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | |||
