NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 review: Basically a 4070 Ti that’s better at 4K

The RTX 5070 excels at 1440p gaming, and it does a decent job at 4K. But it’s not a major upgrade over the RTX 4070, and it’s even less impressive in games that don’t support DLSS. With just 12GB of RAM, it’s also not nearly as future-proof as the 5070 Ti.

The NVIDIA Founder's Edition RTX 5070 we reviewed looks similar to the 5090, with a gorgeous metal case and dual fans to cool down the PCB sandwiched in the middle. And it lagged behind that card in the Port Royal and DirectX ray tracing tests, as well as in Blender's benchmark, where it was a full 1,200 points behind the 4070 Ti! Unsurprisingly, NVIDIA's Founder's Edition cooling setup shined on the RTX 5070, where it kept temperatures between 35C and 40C while idling, and under 75C while I was gaming and running benchmarks.
