Nvidia graphics card rumors are again on the menu, as the primary leaks surrounding the brand new RTX 5070 Ti gaming GPU have surfaced. If this rumor is true, the 5070 Ti is getting a good increase in energy over its predecessor, the RTX 4070 Ti.
The Ti fashions have gone by the wringer with the RTX 40-series. Initially slated to be the 4080 12GB, the primary one was quietly “unlaunched” after which rebranded because the RTX 4070 Ti. This card was rapidly overshadowed a couple of yr later, as Nvidia launched the RTX 4070 Tremendous, which we’ve classed as the very best graphics card for many.
This newest leak comes from well-known leaker Kopite7kimi (through VideoCardz), and claims that the brand new GPU would clock in with 8,960 CUDA cores and a 300W TDP. This appears like a step beneath the RTX 4080, which is available in at 9728 CUDA cores and 320W, nevertheless it needs to be famous that it’s additionally more likely to include a lot quicker GDDR7 VRAM. That is additionally a step up from the RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous, which has 8,448 CUDA cores.
Nonetheless, the leaked specs pass over key data, together with how a lot reminiscence will likely be fitted to the RTX 5070 Ti as commonplace. The RTX 5070 is allegedly deliberate to launch with 12GB, which stirred the hornet’s nest on-line when the knowledge leaked. Consensus is slowly solidifying across the want for no less than 16GB to be definitely worth the improve or cash as video games get extra demanding.
Kopite7kimi additionally leaked that the 5070 Ti is deliberate to be constructed on the identical die because the RTX 5080, GB203. The rumored CUDA core distinction places the 5080 at 20% extra cores, at 10,752. Whereas it’s apparent that the lower-end card could be weaker, Nvidia’s pricing will finally decide its success.
The maligned 4070 Ti was initially launched in 2023 for $799, which was deemed too costly for what it was offering, particularly with simply 12GB of VRAM. Let’s hope the RTX 5070 Ti no less than comes with 16GB of VRAM and a half-reasonable worth.
Nvidia is predicted to announce the small print of its upcoming RTX 5000 GPU vary at CES 2025 in January. We’ll hopefully discover out then if the value of upgrading to get the most recent updates on options equivalent to Nvidia DLSS will likely be price it.
