Nvidia's RTX 5090 and 5080 launched-sort of-but good luck finding one. Now, the RTX 5070 Ti enters the scene, offering 16GB VRAM at $750. Is it a solid deal or another overpriced gamble? Let's dive in.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Review
- Thread starter Steve
- Start date
What, no score? Would also be interesting to see non-gaming benchmarks. I know the AI bubble is gonna burst any minute now as of the past 5 years but…
Otherwise, seems like a decent card. Probably not gonna be much of an overclocker, unlike the 5080, due to the fact that it’s got less power headroom but that’s something system integrators will probably appreciate.

Screw the inflation adjusted metric, that only matters if wages go up with it which, they haven't. This is going to be a $900+ card all day long, the 9070XT will be selling somewhere between 800-900US. With the performance numbers the 50 series are showing, the 9070XT might actually be able to sell for $800+.
These performance numbers were expected based on the specs. What I'm most surprised by this generation is the fact that RT performance didn't increase at all relative to raster. (even though they made a big deal out of the new 4th gen RT cores in their marketing)

Why is it named "5070 Ti" and not just a "5070"? How can you already have the 5070 Ti if we don't have a 5070 yet?
Don't even get me started on the base model vs. Ti vs. Super vs. Ti Super vs. Ti Superduper, Titan any one, etc. Marketing people suck.

We know there is no jump this generation. You get only a minor increase. This in mind, it's a perfectly good product in isolation. The overclocking available on the models I have seen tested looks impressive. Taking it above the 4080 Super without even asking for increased power over stock.
At $750 it is a small bump over a 4070Ti Super for similar money which people will take. At $900 and no stock it is very much a nothing product. Contemptible.
Considering stock and prices now then it seems like a pointless paper launch. Unless we see a host of near MSRP models in the coming months it may as well not exist.

So 5070 Ti = 4070 Ti SuperDuper.
But only at MSRP which will happen on the eternal side of Never.
I’m waiting with bated breath for AMD to sell their 9070xt for $700 MSRP!!!
What a great time to be a gamer!!!

Curious, why were the 5080 and 7900 XTX left off the Power Consumption charts?

So if you are not gaming in 1080p ... this is a useless card if you have a 4xxx. way to go team green...
So.. it will still sell because of sheeple.. They are doing the same thing Intel did for years, small % increase higher price. Which they can get away with since there is little competition.
Looks bleek atm.. guess I'll just stick with what I got until I have no choice but to upgrade.

Worst. Generation. Ever.
+10% performance for +12% price!
When the Super refresh underwhelmed me, I decided to wait another year because then I could at least get 4080S performance for 4070TIS prices...
... not less than 4080S performance for more than 4070TIS prices!
Not even 1 card better than the previous gen (at a higher price!) is a big FU from Nvidia.

Nvidia’s new slogan super green not enough greed!
You cannot give this joke a score of 75/100.
There is REGRESSION in value, and you gave this monstrosity, this joke, this blatant sarcastic and arrogant Nvidia proposition, 75/100...
If AMD was making this GPU, you would have give it 50/100.
You know I am right...

I can't believe how wrong I was . I actually thought that 2025 lineup will be similar performance per dollar to 2022 lineup I didn't realize it would actually be significantly worse.
I'm no longer listening to reviewers' opinions on price it seems. I'm bored of it, these cards aren't coming down, in fact they will probably increase in price because they will sell, they may even sell out on day one. The buyers of these things do not care about value. If a reviewer wishes to discredit one of these products based on a high price, then that reviewer is clearly out of touch and does not understand this products market and/or its consumers.
When it comes to flagship GPUs I'm not interested in price/performance either, but I am interested in things like are there any driver issues/glitches, what bios revisions there have been and what has changed. Also things like how the features perform. What value the features add etc. I find good RT performance a hell of a lot more interesting than the cost per frame etc. And then things like are the cards loud, do they kick out a lot of heat into the case. What connectivity do they have etc. Is it actually a good product.
These days, reviewing high end GPUs on price feels like reviewing a Ferrari on value for money. Its always going to be **** and the buyers dont care.
Budget cards are what should be judged on cost per frame. And by budget, I mean $500 or less.

I would like to thank Steve for his review, another excellent set of base #'s and breakdowns. (albeit missing a few data points, XTX power consumption, etc.)
I would like to point out, that my non-EVGA RX 7900xtx is 2 years old, next to my outdated ryzen 7700x. Both are itching for an upgrade... sadly, I think the RX 9070xt would just be a power saving side-grade for me. So I am going to have to wait until thingz get stacked up again.
I could sum this whole review up in one sentence it would be:
"After 2 years of AMD's 7900XTX dominance at gaming ($950), nVidia manages to finally push past it's RDNA rival, with it Blackwell architecture for a blazing 9~12 more frames 4k than AMD's eol chiplet card"
RTX50 is almost a joke..

Again, another proof that AMD is having a huge opportunity this year, let's see if they can win our heart once more after the 5700xt or just screw us over again xD
If I had to guess, probably because:
a: There is a greater time crunch to get the review ready by the time the review embargo is lifted... and when you're testing 16 games between 12 cards I imagine certain talking points like overclocking were put aside for a later article.
b: Overclocking is extremely subjective and dependent on many variables, and skews results when against other cards of different makes and generations, if you are not also overclocking them as well which is a ton of work. Overclocking benchmarks I feel are best when applied against itself and not with data from other "unrelated" cards.
c: Overclocking results have the implication of what could be and not what is. As a consumer, I would much rather have my expectations tempered to what is typically experienced out of the box versus what is possible after tinkering, especially so at release. Even still it takes weeks and months for drivers to mature and optimize, so the results of overclocking now vs a few weeks down the line could be drastically different (a reason why reviewers like Mr. Watson often revisits cards later down the line).
And to be honest, assume the 5070 Ti could also get another 10% of performance by OC, it would still not change the current reality of supply and prices at all, the lack of perceived generational uplift by reviewers and public alike, as well that nearly every claim Nvidia made about the 5000 series cards have been misleading at best.

Not surprised by the similar gains over the 4070Ti, much like the 5080 had over the 4080. Pathetic. Not to mention how abhorrent the pricing for the Nvidia cards has become.
With how Nvidia is pricing and how MSRP prices on AIB cards for the 5070Ti are pushing $1000, makes me wonder how close to the RUMORED 9700XT price of $549 is going to be if the card and give similar performance of the 5070Ti. Will AMD release it in that price range still or will it be closer to the $700 mark?
The whole idea behind the original rumors was that AMD was looking to have RDNA4 limited to mid ranged and give 4080 type performance for a much lower cost.....not sure if those original rumors will hold true now based on everything we've seen with AMD pushing back the release date and with current prices from Nvidia's side.
