NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition

So it’s a slightly faster 4070S that also is more power hungry and… that’s kind of it?

5% more performance at the expense of 9% more power consumption. That's zero improvement from my point of view.

(terrible conspiracy theory offered as a joke: ) I bet they just wanted the volume discount on those connectors they're using for the PCIe adaptor cards. If they only put them on 5090's, they'd be really expensive as they only made 73 of those cards and maybe 125 5080s. Adding in the 5070 cards they plan to make over the next year or two (only 13 made so far) and they might get the connector price down.

(again...joke...as are the numbers I guessed at for how many FE cards have been produced so far...thought it might not be that far off lol)

Yeah, saw an article somewhere that retailers were saying they had more 9070 / 9070 XTs in stock than all models of Nvidia delivered so far combined.

Every wafer Nvidia uses to make a GPU means they make less money vs making an AI Blackwell. Same is true of AMD vs making Epyc dies though. Both companies are literally throwing money away by making GPUs. They only do it to keep the AIBs and retailers going, just in case the AI craze dies and they need those connections later.

Intel is probably the only hope to break this pattern in the next couple of years.
 
5070 beats 4090...after all 5070 is a bigger number,skip this crap series...all of them just a waste of money
 
5070 is nothing more than 60 class gpu with tiny 263mm² die for whopping $600
Nvidia's real slogan: The way it's meant to be scammed.

Where is that traitor Jacob_F?

They must've cherrypicked a game or two where 5070 is slightly faster with DLSS4 and fake frames on. When the card loses to 7900 GRE in reality, that doesn't seem that good in marketing.
 
Leather jacket was wrong, its 3090 level of performance.
 
what a dog!
 
this is a 60 series gpu with a 70 badge , the performance of a 3090 with only 12 gb of ram . Super useless at 1440 and over unless you tone down settings and you don't run out of vram.
 
Is there any more details on this test?

how is this configured and what software is being used?

Some games should be removed from the test bench. that card is not that good. the average fps is just pulled up by some titles which are not that demanding and should not belong in a graphic card test counterstrike and the witcher. a game which generates over 270 fps should not be in a graphic card test at all - especially when testing a low level entry card. The price, the card name, the vram, the vram bus size may indicate this is an entry level card. Of course a customer can worse graphic cards. There is always something much worse to purchase.

Looking at those charts that card looks more like a 90 fps card in 1080p. Very sad card. You can not be serious to take high numbers from old outdated games as a base. Remove Coutnerstrike and add avatar pandora -> that game at least reduce the ridiculous - not real fps value of ¨~~430 fps.

Seeing such low numbers in Starfield, the Last of us, Star wars indicate this card is just entry level gaming card.

I also get the impression some driver optimisations for NVIDIA only games heavily give better results as the card can really deliver. Why are some games such worse? Just some driver optimisations and lack of performance.
 
What a dreadful product. It'll still sell out everywhere though. Also doesn't matter how good the 9070 series is, it won't move the needle in terms of market share. Boy, I sure love the current GPU market.
 
And it will sell like hotcakes.

Unfortunately the makret has become extremely one dimensional. In AI they only buy Nvidia. In gaming GPUs 90% only buy Nvidia.
Intel came out early, gave people good options at $200 and $250 with 10GB and 12GB VRAM and I haven't seen any articles saying they are selling.
AMD will offer 9070 and 9070XTs at probably high supply in real prices probably lower than the real prices of 5070 and still it's logical to expect that 5070 will sell 5-10 times more than both 9070s combined.

The market looks like the desktop OS market. No one changes Windows, no matter if they hate them.
Everyone buys Nvidia. No matter the reviews, specs and prices.

Well, I think you're wrong on market share. AMD can have as much, or as little, market share as they desire by simply making more GPUs. Thing is, every GPU they make with their fixed TSMC allocation is like throwing away hundreds and possibly thousands in profit they could have made by allocated that wafer space to Epyc instead.
 
What a disaster of a generation this is, barely being faster than a 4070 Super is a joke.

AMD, you have a golden opportunity this time around, please don't screw this up and deliver something hard hitting. Intel still needs more time to develop unfortunately.

I kind of expected this card to be on par with 7900 XT or 4070 Ti performance.
My expectation was wrong. 7900 XT for 600 € is much better choice than RTX 5070.
RTX 5070 sales launch tomorrow but we all know there are no pieces in stock.

This should have been RTX 5060 to make sense.

So much for RTX 5070 being as powerful as RTX 4090 and shame on all those who believed in this Jensen's bullshit.

Yesterday, the only two RTX 5070 models showing up at my local Micro Center were listed at the $549 MSRP - but who knows how many they have and if any other models will show up between now and tomorrow when they go on sale and for what prices they might be listed at.

As for MC, apparently they are opening early across the US for the AMD cards available for sale this Thursday.

The B580 looked very promising and I almost pulled the trigger but decided to wait for the drivers to mature a little more. They might be my next GPU purchase.
Click to expand...

I would probably go Intel if they had a B770. The B580 was basically the same performance as my current 6700 XT.
 
well nvidia lost an opportunity to get even more market share. if they PRICED it at 350…

Wow, I totally forgot this card was getting reviewed today. It's just so goddamn meh. It basically replaces the 4070S at the same price and offers practically nothing apart from disappointment
  • 12GB of VRAM still. On a >$500 GPU in 2025?!
  • Single-digit gains in performance for double-digit increases to power consumption is unimpressive and unwanted.
  • Ridiculous paper-launch availability (probably, we will find out tomorrow)
  • Fake MSRPs that AIBs have zero intent to adhere to, so first-party scalping straight from the source. The FE will go out of stock within 30 seconds tomorrow, and will likely never be restocked.
You know what I miss? The 4070 Super.
It didn't need replacing with this and up until November you could easily find one of several models from $575-590.
 
RTX 5070 seems to be the worst after that comes RTX 5080
