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.

I've got x2 1440p machines, one running a 3080 and the other 2080 TI. With VRAM limitations set aside the 3070 is basically on par with the 2080 TI, easily manages 1440p all day long. I wouldn't fancy carrying the 8GB VRAM limit over to 4K though unless lesser demanding titles or lower quality graphics are acceptable. If I ain't getting 90fps+ i ain't touching it.
My position on framerate is an interesting one (or perhaps quite common, not sure). I find 30fps basically unplayable, a real eyesore and juddery, not even taking into account worse input lag.
But for me 60fps is the sweet spot. It looks perfectly smooth to my eyes, and feels snappy. Can I tell the difference between 90fps and 60fps, absolutely, and I can just about tell the difference between 90 and 120fps. The thing is, for me it's a law of diminishing returns above 60fps. Doesn't quite seem worth it. I can see the argument for less input lag though, especially for competitive shooters and the like.
General use is another matter though. Scrolling websites or code at 60hz feels like 30fps in a game, so 120hz+ for general use is a must :D
But yeah, the 3070 is still great for 1440p, and from my own experience can hit 90fps+ in most titles especially if you're prepared to optimise settings a bit.
And the 2080ti is still a beast really, considering it came out in 2018. The very good memory bandwidth and 11gb VRAM definitely helped future proof it.
RTX 5090 = RTX 4090+29% in Cyberpunk 2077.
Also happy to see RTX 5070 Ti for $749 and 5070 for $549. We will see the AMD's response.
