Relative Performance before overclocking (at 1440p) according to TechPowerUp:

  • vs RTX 3060 12GB (card I'm personally upgrading from): +194% performance & extra 4GB VRAM
  • vs RTX 3070 8GB: +96% performance & extra 8GB VRAM
  • vs RTX 3070 Ti 8GB: +82% performance & extra 8GB VRAM
  • vs RTX 3080 10GB: +49% performance & extra 6GB VRAM
  • vs RTX 4060 8GB: +157% performance & extra 8GB VRAM
  • vs RTX 4070 12GB: +52% performance & extra 4GB VRAM
  • vs RTX 4070 Ti 12GB: +21% performance & extra 4GB VRAM
  • vs RTX 4080 16GB: Don't upgrade, lol.
  • vs RX 6700 XT 16GB: +47% performance
  • vs RX 7800 XT 16GB: +49% performance
  • vs RX 9070 XT 16GB: +6% performance.

After overclocking: Multiply all above numbers by 1.11x.


Other noteworthy features:

Video editing & streaming

  • Blackwell features 4:2:2 decode support for H265 and H264. This is a HUGE upgrade for videographers and video editors who shoot in this format, going from non-hardware accelerated to HW-accelerated.
  • The 5070 Ti features two encoders and one decoder; which is a step-up from all lower-class cards (1 enc, 1 dec). If you encode video (e.g. streaming, video editing), the 5070 Ti is the sweet spot.

VRAM

  • With GDDR7, you will get ~896GB/s memory bandwidth (along with 48MB of L2 cache). This is more effective memory bandwidth than a 3090 Ti!
  • 16GB VRAM is not generous, but neither is it low or skimpy. It is a reasonable amount of VRAM for the compute power offered by the card. This significantly improves the card's longevity.

Overclocking

  • The Blackwell series are excellent 'overclockers'. If you're willing to use MSI Afterburner, you can get ~11% extra performance in most cases unless you're unlucky.
  • You can also choose to undervolt, and get performance at a lower power draw.

Multi-frame generation

  • A marketing scam. Don't even enable it.

Enjoy :)

    You compare it to every card besides it's one true competitor 😭

    • +21

      Ahh sorry!! I was using TPU’s review, and the 9070 XT came out after the 5070 Ti so it wasn’t in that review’s chart. I’ve just added.

      Cheapest 9070 XT is $1249, which is 11% cheaper with 5% less performance. That said, I think the 5070Ti is still better value, I’ve found NVIDIA cards to have much better resell value than AMD, they’re like Apple products.

      DLSS4 is modestly better than FSR4 and more natively supported, but you can use 3rd party mods. For video editing, machine learning, NVIDIA is much better supported and 4:2:2.

      The 9070 (non-XT) is worth considering too. You can flash a XT BIOS for higher power limits and get close to a 9070 XT, at $1049.

      • +1

        5080Super with 20GB VRAM at $1508 would be very nice.

        • +1

          If it's GB203 based it'll be 21 GB at least, more likely 24 GB, and that pricing might be tough either way, certainly nowhere near launch.

          If it's GB202 based you're not getting that kind of pricing and the power consumption is going to be silly, all for what could be a 10% gain after relative overclocks, maybe 15% at max. Would also probably be 24 GB.

      • +4

        This is a very well rounded comment on the 5070ti vs the 9070 XT.

        The only possible comment I would make is, the performance is so close in so many games, I'd be checking what I intend to play (or have now and am playing etc), and do my own calculation. Would want to be sure my $160, in this case, is giving me more performance.

        The 9070 non-XT route is also a cool scenario if you want to tinker, unsure if it can be flashed easily yet, e.g. via software, I've seen needing a bios flashing kit, which I'd attempt personally, but for many users might be a bit difficult

        • +2

          More performance in RT, if you care about that. I’d say that in raster, the 9070xt is close enough that they’re essentially the same performance. The new Doom game is one weird standout where the 9070xt performs better than the 5080.

      • +5

        Not sure about resell value. Yes, historically NV has been better at it, but I’ve seen even the non tech-savvy friends taking a look at AMD. Plus, there’s tons of driver issues on the 50 series.

        I would just hold off as long as you can. Probably gonna drop even lower next month, these things are not flying off shelves.

    • +14

      Lol keyboard warrior talking about pound for pound

      • Yeah Andrew Tate types must think he's so lame!

  • +10

    Good post, but one little nitpick: you say after overclocking the performance comparisons should be multiplied by 1.11x. This assumes the comparison card is not being overclocked, which seems unrealistic. It matters quite a bit in some cases e.g. the RX 9070 (non-XT) overclocks even better than the 5070Ti and can see gains in excess of 13%, so that actually shrinks the performance margin.

    • +3

      Also funny saying MFG is a marketing scam when they are coming from a card which doesn’t support it so they probably haven’t ever used it.

    • Now quote the change in power consumption for both cards when you do that.

  • +1

    Outstanding description. Thanks!

  • Should I upgrade from a GTX 1070?

    • +2

      Mate, anything is better then a 1070 at this point. I'm still running a 1070 and would take any new card without a second thought.

    • Some games will require you at this point to have a card with newer shaders.

      If you want to play such games, yes, you'll need to upgrade.

      If you don't actually have any performance issues in the games you do play (older or Indie titles) don't upgrade.

      That said my brother jumped from my old 1070 to a 7800 xt for 730 bucks at 1080p and he was like 'GAMES CAN RUN AND LOOK THIS GOOD?' so there's that…

    • I guess your still playing older games? If these games have PhysX? You might want to google "PhysX on RTX 5000 series"

  • +5

    Hodl, $200 more to go

    • +3

      For me this should be under $1000 AUD.

  • +5

    How is multi frame gen a marketing scam.

    Works great.

    Just don't use it for competitive online gaming

    • +3

      Because there is no nuance on the internet.

    • +4

      People prob salty cause Nvidia could click a box to enable it on all their old gpus down to 2000 series. Also for "the best" frame gen experience u need at least 60fps stable to begin with.

      • +1

        And rightly so they should be salty- It's anti-consumer as (profanity).

    • because this guy is part of the reddit dude bros who will cry about AI “fake frames” 24/7 but if AMD does it its fine.

  • Currently got a 3070, looking at upgrading. Might patiently wait for a 5080 which should last for quite awhile

    • 5080 is about 16% faster with one extra decoder chip, which is mostly useful for working with 4K HFR video or 8K+ video.

      Same chip, different binning. If the 5070 Ti continues to be 25% cheaper, it's better value.

      60 series is going to be a big leap from the 50 series though.

      • +3

        60 series is going to be a big leap from the 50 series though

        Didn't we hear the same about 50 series?

        • +2

          We heard it would be 70-80% at the top of the stack (full GB202 vs full AD102), which appears to be technically true even without multi-frame gen, but requires using the latest architectural features in pathtracing to their fullest extent (specifically BVH compression features).

          TSMC 3nm vs TSMC 4nm is about an 80% jump in density compared to Blackwell and Lovelace designs for about a 15-20% increased cost. No point in pushing clocks and voltage further due to existing power budgets, so they can maximise density this time around on N3X and push significantly more cores for no extra cost.

          TSMC 2nm is a far more challenging jump to squeeze performance out of for the price, but defect rates are already vanishingly low.

  • +4

    Don't feed the beast, buy AMD instead. My 7900xt has 20gb vram and almost the same raster performance at 75% of the price.

    • I’m considering going AMD after my RTX4080 Super becomes obsolete

      • +4

        you are going to be considering for a long time

    • yeah make your purchasing decisions on whether it can gain you reddit karma or other nonsense internet points guys

  • +1

    Chinese AIBs like Palit, Zotac and Inno3d going to get smashed due to Tarrifs so why are we buying now, HODL. US demand is dropping. It's going to start filtering through soon.

    • Aren't gpus likely to be exempt? Not an expert, but current exemptions listed here include code 8473.30, and GPUs seem to be classified as a subcategory, 8473.30.1180.

      • The US government has restricted GPUs to China because of AI technology. NVIDIA made the 5090D and now that is banned too.

        • Hmm, replaced your entire comment with an edit?

          Re. what you were saying, I don't think it's true that PNY models are more expensive in the US.

          On that link you provided, the PNY models are the cheapest listed for 5060 ti, 5070, 5070 ti… they are out of stock, but that could just as easily be because people want to buy the models closest to MSRP.

          It's much the same situation in Aus generally, the cheapest AIB cards go in and out of stock while the expensive asus etc. have good availability.

          The US government has restricted GPUs to China because of AI technology. NVIDIA made the 5090D and now that is banned too.

          This is true. This is also entirely irrelevant when we're talking about the application of tariffs to goods being imported into the US, and those goods aren't part of the ban even if we were talking about sales into China.

  • +5

    Great write up OP! Good price…but idk if its that Nvidia has just gaslit us into feeling like it is by raising the MSRP so high

    Looking to upgrade but a 49% uplift from my 4.5yo 3080 doesn't feel sufficient. And a more meaningful one like a 5080 Super might take a very long time to drop down to an acceptable 1700-1800 price point. Guess I'm HODLing like many others

    • There's about 12% extra performance for both RTX 50 cards without increasing power limits beyond reference (effectively an extra 20-30 W), so the number is more like 66% and 92% for the 5070 Ti and 5080 respectively, and that's just for raster, pathtracing now and going forward will have a notable gap.

      But the 60 series will be a mighty jump due to silicon process change (TSMC 3nm).

    • I'm in the same boat, I want more VRAM but the pricing is ridiculous.

      Nvidia screwed up this generation. It used to be that the next generation but a tier down was still an upgrade. The 4070 ti was way faster than the 3080 (which was about equal to the 4070). The 4060ti was faster than the 3070. Now, the 5070ti is slower than the 4080, the 5060ti is way slower than the 4070, the 5070 isn't even faster than the 4070 super.

      There's the problem of a lack of competition too in that area too. Unless AMD release a 9070 XTX, if you want faster than a 5070ti/9070XT you're stuck with Nvidia. In the last Steam hardware report, the 5080 was higher than the 5070ti and 5070, it's still selling (despite stock issues and insane pricing)

    • I think we will see the 5080 go sub $2k here in a few months but not by much. Certainly looks like that early crazy demand has dropped off and if you look at places like PCcasegear, they have an absolute massive amount of stock now. The 1700 -1800 price point will come more towards the end of this gen. Probably late 2026 once we start getting the rumours and leaks about the 6000 series.

    • +1

      as long as they use TSMC chips price isnt going to be any cheaper from any side

      remember how people thought 30 series was the last gen resonably priced? Guess what it wasnt using TSMC chips

  • +1

    Scorptec took a long time to ship my first order with them (east digital beat them with a package from china, ie that package got to me before scorptec had shipped the nas), I now occasionally pass on that warning to anybody who hasn't bought from them. You has been warnsed.

  • +1

    I’m not going to buy one but this is a quality post OP.

    Just curious, I’m still using a RIG with GTX 980 (and a 4th gen Intel CPU + 8GB DDR3 RAM)😭 What would be the percentage performance increase to this card?

    • +1

      depends on the title, screen resolution, and the settings massaging you're doing to make the 980 setup playable (e.g. 30fps minimum??), but my guess is anywhere in the +400% to 700% range. maybe higher. closest comparison vid i could find https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHqkkVuKGAo which shows this range e.g. cyberpunk 20fps on 980 compared to 150fps on 5070ti

      the subjective difference to any gamer is going to be monumental. not sure how much of a bottleneck an intel 4th gen/ddr3 setup would cause on it. personally if spending $1.5k on a gpu I'd be considering a newer cpu, mobo, ram, and likely psu also, a whole new rig. otherwise I'd look for a used 3060ti 8gb for under $300 and drop that in the old rig while researching new build.

    • +1

      I reckon start with your base system first IMO…

      Nab a Ryzen 7700 from Aliexpress (the sub $250 deals make this a steal), a decent Micro ATX AM5 board, 32GB of DDR 6000 CL30.

      Throw it all in a Lian Li A3.

      This alone will grant you a massive bump in general system performance. I would not even try to pair a card like this with a 4th gen intel CPU.

      Then you can decide how things are going regarding your 980 performance in the specific games you play. If you had to separate your purchases definitely platform first then GPU.

      You'll likely want a new power supply if it's also as old as the system, pending it's quality/wattage etc. (Quality Seasonics or similar from that era probs will keep chugging along just fine, but frankly won't hurt to bump it all. Also eliminates the possibility of an old PSU causing issues with newer components especially if you have to troubleshoot a rebuild)

  • Good post OP. A decent option for those locked into nvidia.

    Though seems to be a mistake in your performance calcs, implying that 6700xt is faster than 7800xt? Typo with 6900xt perhaps?

    vs RX 6700 XT 16GB: +47% performance
    vs RX 7800 XT 16GB: +49% performance

  • Good post OP!

  • Good post - was thinking of upgrading but very underwelmed by this 5xxx generation.

    https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/igors-lab-un…

    I might wait until the rumored 5070/80 Super to see if designs / value improves.

  • So glad i went team red

  • How is it a card itself costs 1-3k, or you can buy a "gaming laptop" also for 1-3k?

    (Obs not a gamer)

    • Gaming laptops dollar for dollar perform far worse. Eg it is not uncommon for the laptop equivalent gpu to have less than half the perf of a pc gpu card.

    • You can't anymore.. all 50 series laptops also skyrocketed

  • Hey guys, looking to upgrade to this graphics card. PC part picker is giving me an error saying "Additional expansion slot clearance is needed"

    I'm guessing that means I need a new motherboard for it to work?

  • Nice deal cheers!

  • damn vacation im too late; I tried to purchase it, but the code expired. I would prefer such a card from a shop not an ebay shop for warranty purposes. :(
