There is no longer any doubt that NVIDIA will launch its RTX 50 cards at CES, the firm having sent signs including one eloquent enough to not require oral or verbal confirmation. David was talking to you about it a few days ago, with this 50 barely hidden in the middle of the CES 2025 poster. Several weeks ago, the rumors were not really in agreement about the TGP of the RTX 5070 Ti , kopite7kimi affirmed that it would take 300 W of pure electron nectar, while Benchlife climbed to 350 W. This is still much more than the 285 W RTX 4070 Ti then RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, cards supposed to be replaced by the RTX 5070 Ti.
It was rumored that it would have 8960 CUDA Cores, and 16 gigabytes of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus. These two points would not have changed a priori. What is new is that kopite7kimi thinks he knows that the TGP would be 285 W, like its older sisters, but that the consumption of 350 W is still part of the data he has. It’s not that clear-cut, we can finally think that the card could behave like the RTX 4090. Indeed, in game, it is around 400 W, while loaded to death with ray tracing or other, it can sporadically climb to 450 W. Not all games pump out the maximum every time, as evidenced for example by our test of the RTX 4080 SUPER which has an official TGP of 320 W.
For the moment, we don’t know more, but it would be strange, given the fact that the engraving process changes little between Ada and Blackwell, to end up with a gap of 65 W to the detriment of the RTX 5070 Ti! The only sure thing is that the wait shouldn’t be very long now!
