Performance Analysis
The RTX 2070 delivers FP16 dense performance of 29.9 TFLOPS while the RTX 5090 reaches 209.5 TFLOPS dense FP16 for a sevenfold increase that shortens training iteration times on large models. FP32 figures of 7.5 TFLOPS dense on the RTX 2070 versus 104.8 TFLOPS dense on the RTX 5090 indicate even greater acceleration for precision-sensitive workloads. Memory bandwidth four times higher on the RTX 5090 permits larger batch sizes during inference without swapping to host memory. Sparse FP16 performance of 419 TFLOPS on the RTX 5090 cannot be compared directly to the RTX 2070 because no sparsity figure exists for that model.

When to Choose the RTX 2070
The RTX 2070 suits environments constrained to 175W power limits or legacy PCIe 3.0 slots where the RTX 5090 TDP of 575W would exceed available cooling. Workloads that fit within 8 GB GDDR6 and require only 29.9 TFLOPS dense FP16 avoid the need for newer interconnect standards.
When to Choose the RTX 5090
The RTX 5090 fits scenarios that demand 32 GB GDDR7 and 1792 GB/s bandwidth to sustain large batch inference at 209.5 TFLOPS dense FP16.
Use Cases
The RTX 5090 supplies 104.8 TFLOPS dense FP32 and 32 GB GDDR7 that accommodate larger models than the 7.5 TFLOPS and 8 GB on the RTX 2070.
Dense FP16 performance of 209.5 TFLOPS and 838 TOPS dense INT8 on the RTX 5090 exceed the 29.9 TFLOPS and 119.4 TOPS of the RTX 2070 for faster token generation.
Memory bandwidth of 1792 GB/s on the RTX 5090 supports larger batch sizes during adaptation compared with 448 GB/s on the RTX 2070.
The RTX 5090 provides 419 TFLOPS dense FP8 that accelerates diffusion steps beyond the FP16 dense limit of 29.9 TFLOPS on the RTX 2070.
FP32 throughput of 104.8 TFLOPS dense on the RTX 5090 delivers higher simulation throughput than the 7.5 TFLOPS dense rating of the RTX 2070.

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the RTX 2070 and the RTX 5090. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
- Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
- The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
