What just happened? After all the anticipation over the arrival of Nvidia's RTX 5000 graphics cards, gamers have been disappointed by the lukewarm reviews of the RTX 5090 and 5080. But what about cards further down the product stack? Team Green has just released the full RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti specs, and it looks like Blackwell still isn't going to see much love from consumers. Nvidia revealed the RTX 5070 / 5070 Ti at CES alongside the 5090 and 5080. The main specs were already known, but now the company has released an official document that dives further into the hardware.Starting with the more powerful 5070 Ti, the card is based on the same GB203 GPU as the RTX 5080. It also has the same 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM with a memory bus width of 256-bit, but the memory speed is reduced from 30 Gbps to 28 Gbps.The RTX 5070 Ti also has a TGP of 300W, 15W more than the RTX 4070 Ti. It will arrive with an MSRP of $549.Graphics CardRTX 3070 TiRTX 4070 TiRTX 5070 TiGPU CodenameGA104AD104GB203GPU ArchitectureNVIDIA AmpereNVIDIA Ada LovelaceNVIDIA BlackwellGPCs656TPCs243035SMs486070CUDA Cores / SM128128128CUDA Cores / GPU614476808960Tensor Cores / SM4 (3rd Gen)4 (4th Gen)4 (5th Gen)Tensor Cores / GPU192 (3rd Gen)240 (4th Gen)280 (5th Gen)RT Cores48 (2nd Gen)60 (3rd Gen)70 (4th Gen)GPU Boost Clock (MHz)177026102452Peak FP32 TFLOPS21.740.143.9RT TFLOPS42.592.7133.2Frame Buffer Memory Size and Type8 GB GDDR6X12 GB GDDR6X16 GB GDDR7Memory Interface256-bit192-bit256-bitMemory Clock (Data Rate)19 Gbps21 Gbps28 GbpsMemory Bandwidth608 GB/sec504 GB/sec896 GB/secROPs968096Pixel Fill-rate (Gigapixels/sec)169.9208.8235.4Texture Units192240280Texel Fill-rate (Gigatexels/sec)339.84626.4686.6L1 Data Cache/Shared Memory6144 KB7680 KB8960 KBL2 Cache Size4096 KB49152 KB49152 KBRegister File Size12288 KB15360 KB17920 KBVideo Engines1 x NVENC (7th Gen), 1 x NVDEC (5th Gen)2 x NVENC (8th Gen), 1 x NVDEC (5th Gen)2 x NVENC (9th Gen), 1 x NVDEC (6th Gen)TGP (Total Graphics Power)290 W285 W300 WTransistor Count17.4 Billion35.8 Billion45.6 BillionDie Size392.5 mm294.5 mm378 mmManufacturing ProcessSamsung 8 nm 8NTSMC 4nm 4NTSMC 4nm 4NPCI Express InterfaceGen 4Gen 4Gen 5Nvidia has provided its typically vague performance comparison charts for the card, putting it up against the RTX 4070 Ti. Unsurprisingly, five of the six benchmarks are with DLSS enabled.Moving onto the RTX 5070, it features the GB205 GPU, whereas previous-generation equivalents have used xx104 dies. It has 12GB of VRAM (192-bit), the same as the RTX 4070, though it is of the GDDR7 variety and clocked at a faster 28 Gbps. Memory bandwidth is up from 507 GB/s to 672 GB/s.The 5070's TGP is 250W, 50W more than its predecessor and 30W more than the RTX 4070 Super. The MSRP has yet to be revealed. As a reminder, the $799 RTX 4070 Ti was $200 more than the $599 RTX 4070 at launch. // Related StoriesGraphics CardRTX 3070RTX 4070RTX 5070GPU CodenameGA104AD104GB205GPU ArchitectureNVIDIA AmpereNVIDIA Ada LovelaceNVIDIA BlackwellGPCs655TPCs232324SMs464648CUDA Cores / SM128128128CUDA Cores / GPU588858886144Tensor Cores / SM4 (3rd Gen)4 (4th Gen)4 (5th Gen)Tensor Cores / GPU184 (3rd Gen)184 (4th Gen)192 (5th Gen)RT Cores46 (2nd Gen)46 (3rd Gen)48 (4th Gen)GPU Boost Clock (MHz)172524752512Peak FP32 TFLOPS20.329.130.9RT TFLOPS39.767.493.6Frame Buffer Memory Size and Type8 GB GDDR612 GB GDDR6X12 GB GDDR7Memory Interface256-bit192-bit192-bitMemory Clock (Data Rate)14 Gbps21 Gbps28 GbpsMemory Bandwidth448 GB/sec504 GB/sec672 GB/secROPs966480Pixel Fill-rate (Gigapixels/sec)165.6158.4201Texture Units184184192Texel Fill-rate (Gigatexels/sec)317.4455.4482.3L1 Data Cache/Shared Memory5888 KB5888 KB6144 KBL2 Cache Size4096 KB36864 KB49152 KBRegister File Size11776 KB11776 KB12288 KBVideo Engines1 x NVENC (7th Gen), 1 x NVDEC (5th Gen)1 x NVENC (8th Gen), 1 x NVDEC (5th Gen)1 x NVENC (9th Gen), 1 x NVDEC (6th Gen)TGP (Total Graphics Power)220 W200 W250 WTransistor Count17.4 Billion31.1 Billion35.8 BillionDie Size392.5 mm294.5 mm263 mmManufacturing ProcessSamsung 8 nm 8NTSMC 4nm 4NTSMC 4nm 4NPCI Express InterfaceGen 4Gen 4Gen 5Here is Nvidia's performance chart for the RTX 5070, putting it up against the RTX 4070.While Nvidia hasn't revealed launch dates, the RTX 5070 Ti is rumored to release on February 20. There are no reports yet on when the RTX 5070 will arrive.It's always worth waiting for reviews of cards before making a judgment, of course, but most reactions to the specs have not been positive, especially in light of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 reviews, which we scored 80 and 70, respectively.A key question now is whether AMD, which is prioritizing more affordable mid-range cards in its Radeon RX 9000 series, can capitalize on consumer apathy toward Blackwell. The RX 9070 XT, RX 9070, RX 9060, and RX 9050 will start to go on sale this March.
