Radeon RX 570 compared with GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

	AMDRadeon RX 570	NVIDIAGeForce GTX 1070 Ti
Overview
Released
Released	April 2017	November 2017
Performance
Chip maker
Chip maker	AMD	NVIDIA
Architecture
Architecture	GCN 4	Pascal
Shader cores
Shader cores	2,048	2,432
Boost clock
Boost clock	1,244 MHz	1,683 MHz (better)
Architecture
Architecture	Fourth-generation GCN (Polaris), 128 texture units, 32 ROPs and 5.7 billion transistors. AMD's retained support page is labelled RX 570 (OEM) and includes slower OEM clocks; the original retail baseline and both named MSI ARMOR configurations use the published maximum 1,244 MHz. Photo shows MSI ARMOR 4G, not an AMD reference board.	NVIDIA launch specifications with stock clocks verified in MSI's GTX 1070 Ti GAMING 8G datasheet. The photo shows this MSI partner board; its connectors and dimensions differ from the Founders Edition.

Memory bandwidth
Memory bandwidth	224 GB/s or –	256 GB/s
Memory detail
Memory detail	MSI ARMOR 4G and 8G both specify 7,000 MHz effective GDDR5. AMD publishes up to 224 GB/s for the GPU, but MSI does not state bandwidth separately for either capacity; the 8 GB configuration therefore omits it.	8 Gbps GDDR5 (NVIDIA); MSI lists 8008 MHz effective speed
