RTX 5070 vs RTX 5070 Ti graphics card comparison

Technical specifications

Graphics processor

RTX 5070 Ti has 45% more streaming processors (8,960 vs 6,144), which gives it an advantage in heavy scenarios.

VRAM capacity and type

The VRAM difference is fundamental: 16 GB of VRAM on a 256-bit bus gives the Ti 33% higher bandwidth. For 4K at ultra settings in modern games, 12 GB is already close to the limit — some titles are approaching it today. The Ti model provides enough headroom for the next 3–4 years.

Connectivity and outputs

The output set is identical on both cards: 1× HDMI 2.1b and 3× DisplayPort 2.1b. The connection interface is PCIe 5.0 x16. Both models use a safe 1× 16-pin (12V-2x6) ATX 3.1 power connector, which requires the cable to be firmly seated to avoid overheating. API support is also the same: DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, CUDA 12.0, OpenCL 3.0.

Gaming performance

Tests without ray tracing

According to tests across 13 games (Ryzen 9 9900X platform):

• 1080p: RTX 5070 Ti — 122.9 fps vs 103.4 fps on RTX 5070 (+19%)
• 1440p: 97 fps vs 77.4 fps (+25%)
• 4K: 57.6 fps vs 43.6 fps (+32%)

The gap grows as resolution increases — 4K is where the Ti shows its full strength.

Tests with ray tracing

• 1440p RT: RTX 5070 Ti — ~88.5 fps vs ~69.8 fps on RTX 5070 (+27%)
• 4K RT: ~48.9 fps vs ~36.4 fps on RTX 5070 (+34%)

RTX 5070 Ti is equipped with 70 fourth-generation RT cores versus 48 on the base card. In Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing mode at 4K, the difference is especially noticeable: RTX 5070 already needs DLSS for comfortable gameplay, while the Ti handles it more confidently.

Average gaming performance

Performance comparison

Power consumption and thermals

RTX 5070 consumes 250 W and requires a quality PSU rated from 600 W, making it an ideal option for compact mATX and ITX builds. RTX 5070 Ti, with a 300 W TDP, will require a reliable 700–750 W PSU. It is strongly recommended to use high-quality new-standard ATX 3.1 power supplies with a 12V-2x6 connector, inserting the power cable fully and firmly. In fps/W, RTX 5070 is more efficient: less heat, quieter fans. The TDP difference is 50 W, which noticeably affects temperatures and noise levels under sustained load.

DLSS and its impact on performance

Both cards support DLSS 4 and DLSS 4.5 with Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, a technology for dynamically generating multiple intermediate frames. In practice, this lets RTX 5070 in DLSS Quality mode deliver results comparable to native 4K on previous-generation cards. Thanks to more Tensor Cores (280 vs 192) and a 42% advantage in AI TOPS, RTX 5070 Ti handles AI tasks faster: LLM token generation is 40% higher, and Stable Diffusion is significantly faster. For gamers who combine gaming with local AI tools, this is a strong argument in favor of the Ti.

Price and availability

RTX 5070 offers better price/performance in the Russian retail market. With a raw performance difference of 19–32%, the price gap is about 50%, which is the key argument for most buyers.

Who should choose RTX 5070 or RTX 5070 Ti?

RTX 5070 Ti is your choice if:

• You play at 4K and want stable 60+ fps without DLSS
• You plan to keep the card for 4+ years — 16 GB of VRAM provides future headroom
• You use ray tracing in demanding titles
• You combine gaming with AI tasks, Stable Diffusion, or LLMs

HYPERPC offers custom ready-made PC configurations with RTX 5070 Ti in the PLAY 1 PRO, PLAY 1 ULTRA, and LUMEN 7 series.

RTX 5070 is your choice if:

• Your main resolution is 1440p/144 Hz
• A quiet and efficient build is important to you (mATX, ITX)
• Your budget is limited, and 12 GB of VRAM is enough for you
• You actively use DLSS 4 to increase fps

You can also purchase the following HYPERPC PCs with an RTX 5070 graphics card: GAMING, LUMEN 5, PLAY 3 MAX.
