Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: High VRAM, But at What Power Cost?

TECH NEWS – One of the top midrange Blackwell architecture cards is leaking, and rumor has it that it might be worth upgrading the power supply…

 

WCCFTech has expanded on the previous specs published by Videocardz for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. There will be 8960 CUDA cores on the GB203 GPU, and the reference board had the PG147 SKU 60 tag and had a 300W TGP. This has been modified a bit because while the PG147 SKU 60 board tag is retained, it uses the GB203-300 GPU, which is the same chip that is in the RTX 5080 (but GB203-400 there), so they are cutting back on that a bit here. This is different from the RTX 4080/4070 Ti, where the beefier card was based on a different, better GPU (AD103, not AD104 – the lower the last digit, the more powerful the chip), and only the Super version keeps the same GPU as the RTX 4080/4080 Super.

The TBP will be 350W instead of 300W. This is 23% higher than the RTX 4070 Ti and 4070 Ti Super (285W), but it is not the same as the average power consumption. It could be lower depending on the usage. The RTX 5070 Ti will have a 256-bit memory bus on the GB203 GPU and 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM. This is again better than its predecessor, which later got 16GB of VRAM in the Super version. Memory bandwidth on the new card will be 33% better than the RTX 4070 Ti Super.

The RTX 5070 Ti will be the third card that Nvidia will release from the GeForce Blackwell series. So the RTX 5070 should be expected a bit later. Nvidia will reportedly release all six cards in the first half of 2025, with most of them hitting stores in the first quarter, by the end of March. That makes the beginning of 2025 quite crowded!

Let’s not forget that Intel’s new Arc cards, the pair based on the Battlemage architecture, as well as AMD’s RDNA 4-based RX 8000 GPUs will also be released around that time…
