Palit GeForce RTX 5070 GamingPro OC

[W1zzard]

The Palit GeForce RTX 5070 GamingPro OC comes with a cooler that runs much cooler and quieter than the Founders Edition, and the secondary Quiet BIOS can transform the card into a whisper-quiet gaming machine. You also get RGB illumination and a factory overclock that helps gain additional FPS.

Makes absolutely no sense at $675, for 550 maybe.

 

[_roman_]

I think I could disassemble the cooler more. I doubt the fans are glued on the plastic / metall comonent. I do understand for a most likely borrowed card it's most likely not possible to show every component.
Quite loud card in these days standard.

The PCB has space for 2 8-pin connectors. I wonder why Palit bothered design that in, if Nvidia is mandating 12v-2x6?

Allows for moving the connector to a different and more inconspicuous location with an extension cable, as I can imagine.
And you probably don't want to just solder an 8-pin and just plug it into the power supply because at that point that will short 12 and Gnd as far as I can see.

black myth wukong the 3080 is faster than 3090 @ 1080p .... interesting

Basic RTX 5070 are now actually available for 640 EUR, which is about 550 USD + VAT - I think the only card model now. And they appear to be widely in stock.

It's a bit ridiculous that for one tier up, RTX 5070 Ti, you have to stretch to 950 EUR - straight up 50% more for 20 - 25% faster card. And RTX 5080, a card barely faster than RTX 4080 Super, a 1000 EUR card, is still at least 1350 EUR.

So nothing changed in the upper tiers, but relatively cheap and available RTX 5070 will be enough for Nvidia to throw the spanner in the plans of AMD and Intel, which kind of only aim at this performance level...

 

[N/A]

All that availability is useless as eventually 5070 could run out of memory and become a stuttering mess and a very expensive paperweight, planned obsolescence.. The whole line up is broken. Instead of establishing a basic building block and multiplying, for example 1280 shaders/16 rop for 7680/96/256b/16GB and carve 5070 out of that and another die for the real 5080 with 15360/192/384b/24G config.

I really don't understand these board partners charging massive price premiums for designs that offer very little advantage over the base designs at MSRP. It must be some kind of industry-wide mental illness.

 

[Bwaze]

Several AIB partners openly stated that Nvidia's MSRP was set too low for them to have enough profit. By selling more expensive models that cost them about the same to make or just a bit more, partners are boosting their profits.

I'm sure original contracts have some obligations on how many percent of cards must be at MSRP, but since apparently everything is off, partners aren't receiving enough card parts, those obligations perhaps don't have to be followed.

They're not gonna boost anything if their overpriced rubbish doesn't sell at all.

 

[Bwaze]

Well I think they hope people will give in after a while and accept the fact that the low end GPU starts above the price of the whole gaming console?

I mean, they know how many cards they can get from Nvidia, and they did their calculations. If the cards won't sell, they might just fold, unless they can find some other more lucrative business - many of them are now trying their hands at server equipment making...

 

[The Shield]

At that price, with 12 gb is DOA, DOA and DOA.

But that doesn't make sense from a manufacturing perspective, because volume is always king. Say you're Palit and you spent $100,000 on tooling up to make RTX 5000 cards, but you only get 1,000 5070 GPUs from NV... do you try and get those GPUs out to door on the cheapest cards possible so that you have at least some cashflow to cover your 100k investment, or do you put them on unnecessarily overbuilt cards that are more likely than not going to sit unsold - meaning no cashflow - while consumers buy cheaper 5070s from other manufacturers instead?

 

[rusty caterpillar]

Is a bad cooling design and mostly the shroud covering so much from heatsink exhaust, no thermal pads on the back plate neither. Not buying this not even for 500.

Edit: 480 maybe and than add some 55 for for deshrouding = 535 + labor + cost of 3 way splitter

 

[starfals]

DOA! What a bad generation, lool.

Annoyingly you can't switch off the RGB without installing software.

You want features without spyware and exploitware.

4% over earlier generation, a real trash this generation is. Hopefully 6000 series will deliver.

That implies there are no supers in the works. And it's possible that 60 series are just optical shrinks of 50 series with narrower buses but faste non binary ram. Which is ridiculous because 6400 shaders would be sitting on a 128 bit 12GB card, no improvement. 10752 a 192 bit 18GB and so on.

To be fair 5070 is 25% faster than the 4070 vanilla it replaces at 550 price point. 4070 wasn't discontinued, it dropped to 550.

But isn’t the 5070 suppose to replace the 4070 super?

4070 Super is sort of a 4070 Ti LE originally a 4080. it's on a two year cycle.

Have Palit solved the fan control problem they had with so many of their 20 and 30-series cards?

They had a tendency of putting three fans on controllers designed for two fans and the double rpm signals from two fans sharing a channel would frequently cause the controller to panic and ramp the fans up to double their RPM for a second before recovering.

I personally experienced it on their GP and Gamerock models for the 2060S, 2070, 2070S, 2080S, 3060Ti, and 3070, and for the 2070S Gaming Pro I took home to test with, the problem stopped happening when I temporarily taped one of the fans in place, which was probably really bad for the fan but completely prevented double rpm signals going back down the cable to the controller. I raised it with Palit as an SI and was given the blunt response that it was working as intended. I declined the offer of an RMA since at this point I'd purchased 20+ cards and all of the dozen I'd gone back and investigated showed the exact same behaviour. Thankfully, GPU-Z made logging these fan-controller panics every 20-40 seconds really easy.

The solution for me was to put the panicky card back into a workstation in a noisy environment so that the user didn't complain about the weird noises and then stop buying Palit cards.

There is room for a 5070 Super. I wouldn't be surprised if January 2026 brought a 5070 Super replacing the 5070 at the same $550 MSRP. It would disrupt the 9070 a bit, AMD would drop its MSRP to $500 and it will be a better deal than the "5070 Super" at $550, similar or marginally less performance in raster, weaker in RT, but slightly cheaper with a lower power draw and 16 GB VRAM. Also higher chances for a more compact design as a 2-slot cooler is enough for 9070. nVidia lost this $500-600 segment right now, this hypothetical 5070 Super would slot between two AMD cards that will be better deals.

But the 5080 uses the full GB203 so the only option for a Super/Ti/Ti Super is a significantly cut-down GB202 that would replicate the 4090: shader count, bus width, VRAM, MSRP and all. Unlikely I would reckon. Well maybe it would have slightly better performance and a $1500 MSRP so that nVidia could play the "cost reduction card" again.

Several AIB partners openly stated that Nvidia's MSRP was set too low for them to have enough profit. By selling more expensive models that cost them about the same to make or just a bit more, partners are boosting their profits.

And MSI thought it was a genius move to drop AMD. They'll reap what they have sowed.
