NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Linux GPU Compute Performance
Across all of the GPU compute benchmarks conducted, the RTX 5070 was consuming similar levels of power to the RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 SUPER graphics cards.
The GeForce RTX 5070 Founder's Edition graphics card was also performing well thermal-wise and on-par with the other graphics cards tested.
On the whole with the geometric mean of all the benchmarks carried out for this Linux GPU compute comparison, the RTX 5070 performed similar to the RTX 4070 SUPER but depending upon the particular workload was capable of outperforming the RTX 4080 in some instances. The RTX 4070 SUPER had launched last year at $599 USD so at least the $549 list price for the RTX 5070 is an improvement. The upgrade story is much more compelling if you are currently on NVIDIA RTX 30 class hardware or older. Stay tuned for more Linux (gaming) benchmarks of the GeForce RTX 5070 in the coming days once a proper game ready driver is available. Thanks to NVIDIA for providing this review sample for launch-day Linux testing on Phoronix.
