RTX 5070 Ti Expected Specifications
Recent information provides a clearer picture of the RTX 5070 Ti's features:
- Architecture: Expected cut-down GB203 die
- CUDA Cores: Approximately 8960 CUDA Cores
- Memory: 16GB GDDR7 VRAM on a 256-bit bus
- TDP: 300W TDP
- Pricing: $749 MSRP
The RTX 5070 Ti's MSRP is $50 lower than the RTX 4070 Ti launch price. This is positive news for gamers seeking high-end performance at a more accessible price point.
Performance Expectations
Initial benchmarks suggest the RTX 5070 Ti could perform close to the RTX 5080 in synthetic tests. It is expected to at least match the performance of both the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 SUPER. Real-world gaming performance will be revealed in independent reviews.
Availability Concerns
Stock availability remains a question. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launches faced stock issues. It is hoped NVIDIA and partners have increased production for the RTX 5070 Ti, given its anticipated popularity due to pricing.
The RTX 50 Series Roadmap
Following the RTX 5070 Ti, the RTX 5070 is expected in March. The RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 are rumored for April. NVIDIA's RTX 50 series appears to be a significant force in the graphics card market this year.
