Just like their big brothers, the RTX 5070 cards appear to offer a considerable performance improvement over their RTX 4000 Series counterpart, double or more performance according to Nvidia.
Although prices have increased, a lot of new hardware and technology has been integrated into the cards, including the ability to use DLSS 4 which introduces 3x frame generation and a much desired new two-slot design.
On the surface, the specifications are not much different from those of the RTX 4000 Series card, but all the core hardware has undergone a generational change, combined with new AI and Neural hardware that allows for neural nuances and tuning. Significantly improved scaling, while improving image fidelity for scaled and generated images. Overall, this allowed the RTX 5000 Series card to perform twice as well as previous generation cards.
Performance figures are unfortunately not accompanied by an actual FPS number, but the graph below should give a rough idea:
-The RTX 5070 TI and its 8960 CUDA cores go to 2.45 Ghz, while the normal RTX 5070 reaches 5.51 Ghz, but it lacks 4 GB of GDDR7 RAM, 12 instead of 16, and “only” 6144 cores CUDA. Efficiency has also been greatly improved, 250 Watts for the RTX 5070, so somewhere Nvidia must have done a lot of optimization.
The launch will take place next month, with the RTX 5070 at €650 and the RTX 5070 TI at €880. We expect these cards to be the new kings of 1440p gaming, especially with DLSS 4 helping in poorly optimized games where even 16GB of VRAM isn’t enough.
