NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti Final Specifications Seemingly Confirmed
Thanks to kopite7kimi, we are able to finalize the leaked specifications of NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti graphics cards.
Starting off with RTX 5070 Ti, it will feature 8,960 CUDA cores and come equipped with 16 GB GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit memory bus, offering 896 GB/s bandwidth. The card is reportedly designed with a total board power (TBP) of 300 W. The Ti variant appears to use the PG147-SKU60 board design with a GB203-300-A1 GPU. The standard RTX 5070 is positioned as a more power-efficient option, with specifications pointing to 6,144 CUDA cores and 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, with 627 GB/s memory bandwidth. This model is expected to operate at a slightly lower 250 W TBP.
Interestingly, the non-Ti RTX 5070 card will be available in two board variants, PG146 and PG147, both utilizing the GB205-300-A1 GPU. While we don't know what the pricing structure looks like, we see that NVIDIA has chosen to make more considerable differentiating factors between its SKUs. The Ti variant not only gets an extra four GB of GDDR7 memory, but it also gets a whopping 45% increase in CUDA core count, going from 6,144 to 8,960 cores. While we wait for the CES to see the initial wave of GeForce RTX 50 series cards, the GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti are expected to arrive later, possibly after RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 GPUs.

5070 Ti smells like what an actual 4070 should've been from the start. But alas.
Still gon hotcake like crazy, no one to contest this unfortunately.
The 5070 is a 5060Ti, what a shame, the 5070 looks like a massive scam. I would even say the 5080 looks like a scam too, the 5070Ti looks to be well positioned. Well, if the prices are right, or they are all one large scam.
Otherwise this card will have a hard time in 1440p with RT/PT.
It's bad when a card is fast enough and can deliver but is bottlenecked by VRAM amount.
Hilarious that 3060 had 12GB and then that VRAM amount is the 70 models' thing in following generations.
My issue is that the 5070 will be able to run most of the games in decent PT settings but the vram will kill it if something is not there to handle the missing vram.
I was watching a vid (Indiana Jones game -
It's bad to have a fast card and not enough VRAM for this.
The later 3060 8GB was a total joke since it was a cut-down card which should've been named as 3050 Ti or something.
Indy being a 2024 title and utterly refusing to work with less than 12GB at launch even without the path-tracing update sets the scene for how much VRAM developers are designing for in 2025. 12GB is the new 8GB - ie, the absolute bare minimum that's only suitable for a short-term solution.
If it's within ~10% of the 5080 and similar $ to the 5070...
5070 looks like the definition of performance stagnation. Nvidia increased it's TDP to somewhat balance the lower number of cores compared to 4070 Super. They might need to bring the MSRP down to $499-$549 to not get negative response from gamers. Of course they could try to sell the new exclusive features of 5000 as a generational jump.
5070 Ti looks like a slightly upgraded 4070 Ti Super. I guess MSRP will remain at $800. That could look like a reasonable upgrade today (it would have been a ridiculous joke 10+ years ego waiting 2 years to get 10% performance increase and a couple new features). If Nvidia lowers the MSRP at $700, it will sell better than hot cakes.
Again we see that the more you pay, the better Nvidia treats you.
Have you noticed how expensive PC gaming in general is. One game such as the DiRT Rally 2.0 costs over $180 with the additional payed packs - every car costs several money, it's crazy.
