MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Gaming Duke 3X VS Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB

The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Gaming Duke 3X and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB have distinct differences in several performance metrics. Starting with GPU clock speeds, the MSI RTX 5070 operates at a base clock speed of 2325 MHz, while the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti is slightly faster at 2410 MHz. However, when considering GPU turbo speeds, the MSI model reaches 2512 MHz, which is just a bit below the Nvidia's 2570 MHz turbo speed.

In terms of pixel rate, the MSI RTX 5070 is far ahead, offering 201 GPixel/s compared to the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti's 123.4 GPixel/s. This indicates the MSI card may be better for handling high-resolution textures and rendering tasks. On the other hand, the floating-point performance shows the MSI card leading with 30.87 TFLOPS, which surpasses the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti's 23.69 TFLOPS, highlighting a more powerful computational capability in the MSI card.

The texture rate also follows a similar trend, with the MSI RTX 5070 providing 482.3 GTexels/s, much higher than the Nvidia's 370.1 GTexels/s. When it comes to GPU memory speed, both cards are identical at 1750 MHz. The MSI RTX 5070 has more shading units at 6144, compared to the 4608 in the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti. Additionally, the MSI card features 192 texture mapping units (TMUs) and 80 render output units (ROPs), both of which exceed the Nvidia’s 144 TMUs and 48 ROPs, suggesting a more robust architecture for texture handling and output rendering in the MSI card. Both models support Double Precision Floating Point (DPFP) operations.

The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Gaming Duke 3X and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB both use GDDR7 memory, but there are several differences in their memory specifications. Both cards feature an effective memory speed of 28000 MHz, so they match in that aspect. However, when it comes to maximum memory bandwidth, the MSI card outperforms the Nvidia card with a bandwidth of 672 GB/s, while the Nvidia card offers 448 GB/s.

In terms of VRAM, the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti has a larger 16GB of memory, compared to the MSI RTX 5070's 12GB. The memory bus width is another area of difference: the MSI card has a 192-bit bus, while the Nvidia card uses a narrower 128-bit bus.

Both cards support ECC memory (Error-Correcting Code), ensuring greater stability and error correction during demanding tasks, so they match in this regard.

The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Gaming Duke 3X and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB share several features, with only a few key differences. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, offering compatibility with modern gaming and rendering APIs. They also both support multi-display technology, ray tracing, and 3D, making them ideal for immersive experiences. Additionally, both support DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and Intel Resizable BAR (also known as AMD SAM), which optimizes performance in certain games.

However, there is a notable difference in RGB lighting—while the MSI RTX 5070 features RGB lighting, the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti does not have this feature. Both cards do not support XeSS (XMX), and neither has the LHR (Lite Hash Rate) restriction, making them equally suitable for gaming and non-mining purposes.

Both models support up to 4 displays, meaning they are capable of driving multiple monitors for enhanced productivity or gaming setups.

The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Gaming Duke 3X and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB have identical port configurations. Both cards come with one HDMI output, supporting HDMI 2.1b. They also each feature three DisplayPort outputs, but neither model includes any USB-C ports, DVI outputs, or mini DisplayPort outputs.

Thus, their port offerings match exactly in terms of HDMI, DisplayPort, and lack of additional connection types like USB-C or DVI, offering a consistent experience across both models.

Both the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Gaming Duke 3X and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB share the same GPU architecture, Blackwell, and use the same semiconductor size of 5 nm. They also both support PCI Express version 5, ensuring fast data transfer rates. However, there are differences in their other specifications.

The MSI RTX 5070 has a higher Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 250W, compared to the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti’s 180W. This suggests that the MSI card may require more power to operate effectively. The MSI card also has more transistors, with 31,100 million compared to the 21,900 million in the Nvidia card.

In terms of physical dimensions, the MSI RTX 5070 is larger, measuring 325 mm in width and 121 mm in height, while the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti is smaller at 241 mm wide and 111 mm high. Both cards do not feature air-water cooling solutions.
