In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! are significantly better than the AMD Radeon RX 5500 8GB.
The RX 5500 has a 63 MHz higher core clock speed and 8 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1070. This results in the RX 5500 providing 21 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RX 5500 has a 63 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 1070, but the GTX 1070 has 32 more Render Output Units than the RX 5500. As a result, the GTX 1070 exhibits a 49.4 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the RX 5500. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RX 5500 was released over three years more recently than the GTX 1070, and so the RX 5500 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GTX 1070 when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The Radeon RX 5500 8GB and the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The GTX 1070 has 32.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RX 5500, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1070 is noticeably better than the RX 5500.
The Radeon RX 5500 8GB has 2048 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! has 1920. However, the actual shader performance of the RX 5500 is 2456 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1070 is 4658. The GTX 1070 having 2202 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 1070 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the RX 5500.
The RX 5500 transistor size technology is 9 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 1070. This means that the RX 5500 is expected to run very slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 1070.
The Radeon RX 5500 8GB requires 120 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! requires 220 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the RX 5500 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1070. The GTX 1070 requires 100 Watts more than the RX 5500 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1070 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RX 5500.
