Specifications for NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 have surfaced once again, reaffirming details about these upper mid-range GPUs in the Blackwell RTX 50 series. The information comes courtesy of well-known leaker @Kopite7kimi, whose track record for accuracy lends credibility to the latest revelations.
GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: Enhanced Power with GDDR7 Memory
The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is shaping up to be a formidable option in the RTX 50 lineup. According to the leak, it features:
- SKU Name: GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
- Board: PG147-SKU60
- GPU Die: GB203-300-A1
- CUDA Cores: 8,960
- VRAM: 16 GB GDDR7, 256-bit memory bus
- Total Board Power (TBP): 300W
This card is confirmed to use the GB203-300 GPU paired with a 256-bit GDDR7 memory configuration, which offers significant performance gains over its predecessor.
Interestingly, the leaked TBP of 300W is 50W lower than earlier estimates, making it only 15W higher than the RTX 4070 Ti. However, some custom variants may still push the TBP closer to 350W.
GeForce RTX 5070: Affordable Performance in the Blackwell Lineup
The RTX 5070 positions itself as a slightly more affordable option, retaining key features while dialing back certain specifications:
- SKU Name: GeForce RTX 5070
- Board: PG146-SKU70
- GPU Die: GB205-300-A1
- CUDA Cores: 6,144
- VRAM: 12 GB GDDR7, 192-bit memory bus
- Total Board Power (TBP): 250W
This card retains the same 12 GB VRAM capacity as the RTX 4070 but upgrades to GDDR7 memory, offering faster data rates and efficiency.
While the CUDA Core count is slightly reduced compared to previous rumors (from 6,400 to 6,144), the specs align with early leaks, particularly regarding the GB205-300 GPU and memory configuration.
Performance and Market Position
The RTX 5070 Ti stands out with its enhanced GPU and higher memory capacity, making it a strong contender in the mid-range GPU market. On the other hand, the RTX 5070 offers an incremental upgrade over the RTX 4070, focusing on efficiency and affordability.
What’s Next for NVIDIA?
Both cards are expected to launch in Q1 2025, following the release of the flagship RTX 5080 and RTX 5090.
While pricing details remain under wraps, it’s unlikely NVIDIA will deviate significantly from the pricing structure of the 40 series, particularly given their focus on performance improvements and the use of cutting-edge GDDR7 memory.
As always, these specifications are not final until NVIDIA makes an official announcement. However, given @Kopite7kimi’s track record and corroborating reports, these details are likely close to the finished product.
Stay tuned as NVIDIA gears up for the unveiling of the Blackwell RTX 50 series at CES 2025, promising to reshape the landscape of gaming and graphical performance.
