The most popular GPU and drive-making company, Nvidia, officially announced its GeForce RTX 5070, part of the new RTX 50 series, in the CES 2025 keynote. The graphics card costs $549 and provides unbelievable performance and is comparable to the performance of one of the higher-end variants such as the RTX 4090, though significantly cheaper and requiring much less power for processing.
Key Specifications of Newly Launch GeForce RTX 5070
-Architecture: Blackwell
-CUDA Cores: 6,144
-VRAM: 12GB GDDR7
-Memory Bandwidth: Approximately 672 GB/sec
-Transistor Count: Not specified yet
-Boost Clock Speed: Estimated around 2512 MHz
-Total Graphics Power (TGP): Not explicitly stated, but expected to be competitive within its tier.
Performance Insights
According to Nvidia, the RTX 5070 is said to be capable of delivering performance comparable to the RTX 4090. That is a very bold statement considering the significant disparity in specs.
The RTX 5070 Features:
-48 SMs. Compare that to the 128 found in the RTX 4090.
-This comes with a theoretical performance of approximately 31 TFLOPS; this is actually better than RTX 4070, 29 TFLOPS, yet still very low compared to RTX 4090, at 83 TFLOPS.
AI and Rendering Capabilities
The GPU comes equipped with the most advanced AI features such as fifth-generation Tensor Cores and fourth-generation RT Cores that make the AI-driven rendering and gaming experiences better. The introduction of DLSS 4 is expected to play a critical role in the maximum performance via neural rendering techniques.
Comparison with Previous Generations
The RTX 5070 is a direct successor to the RTX 4070, with specifications slightly improved from its predecessor but keeping the same VRAM capacity at 12GB, which could limit performance in future high-resolution gaming scenarios. Memory bandwidth is also lower than that of the flagship models, so performance at higher settings might be affected.
Availability of The GeForce RTX 5070
The GeForce RTX 5070 will be available starting January 2025. Along with it, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models will be made available to consumers. These new GPUs are set to be made available by Nvidia through its website and some retail stores worldwide.
