Earlier this month for the launch day, there was NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Linux GPU Compute Benchmarks. The graphics / game references of the GeForce RTX 5070 on Linux have been selected while waiting for a new version of the R570 Linux driver with appropriate support for this new Blackwell graphics card. Last week, this new Linux pilot arrived in the form of NVIDIA 570.133.07 BUILD Linux. This new NVIDIA Linux driver works very well with the edition of the founder of GeForce RTX 5070 and in this article are some Linux game / graphic performance benchmarks for this new graphics card competition with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 series.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 as a recall A 6144 CUDA cores, a 2.51 GHz boost clock, a basic 2,33 GHz clock and 12 GB of GDDR7 video memory with a 192 -bit memory bus. The RTX 5070 shares the common characteristics of Nvidia Blackwell such as DLSS 4 support, 5th generation tensor nuclei, 4th generation RT nuclei, etc.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 has a list of $ 549 USD, but during the writing of three launch weeks after the launch, the GeForce RTX 5070 graphics cards available to 699 USD and more. There are even RTX 5070 graphics cards coming to $ 769. With suggested retail prices and specifications, the GeForce RTX 5070 is positioned to face the Radeon RX 9070 series with the AMD RX 9070 for around $ 549 and the RX 9070 XX for $ 599.
When you use the NVIDIA 570.133.07 Linux pilot, the edition of the founder of GeForce RTX 5070 worked very well on Ubuntu Linux from graphic workloads / Games with OpenGL and Vulkan to various GPU workloads Calculation with Opencl and Cuda. With already published the initial GPU calculation benchmarks this month, this article is an initial overview of Linux game performance compared to other NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards and the AMD Radeon competition.
