NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti specifications revealed, core count increased by 17%, TDP only 300W

Recently, well-known hardware tipster Kopite7kimi revealed the preliminary specifications of Nvidia’s fourth upcoming Blackwell architecture graphics card-GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. As a member of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 50 series, the RTX 5070 Ti will sit between the RTX 5070 and RTX 5080, targeting high-end gamers. Reports suggest that Nvidia will officially unveil the RTX 5070 Ti in 2025. NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti specifications have sparked interest among gamers and industry experts alike.

Nvidia is expected to equip the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with the GB203 GPU, which will feature 8960 CUDA cores. This represents a 16.6% increase from the 7680 cores of the previous generation RTX 4070 Ti. Compared to the 8448 cores of the newly leaked RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, this improvement is 6%.

Despite the increase in core count, the RTX 5070 Ti shows only a modest improvement compared to previous generations. For example, the RTX 4070 Ti saw a 26% increase in cores over the RTX 3070 Ti. Similarly, the RTX 5080 will have a relatively limited core increase compared to the RTX 4080. However, this generation’s performance gains may involve more than just core count. Architectural optimizations and other hardware improvements could also play a key role.

The TGP of the RTX 5070 Ti is expected to be 300W. This is slightly higher than the 285W of the RTX 4070 Ti and its SUPER version, though still reasonable. For high-end graphics cards, this increase reflects better energy consumption control. It is worth noting that the Ada architecture in the RTX 40 series usually has actual power consumption lower than the nominal TGP value. Therefore, the RTX 50 series might also experience similar power consumption optimization.

The team is still finalizing the current graphics memory configuration of the RTX 5070 Ti. Nvidia may offer 16GB of video memory with a 256-bit bit width or opt for a combination of a 192-bit bit width and 12GB of video memory. The RTX 4070 Ti, for example, initially launched with 12GB of video memory and a 192-bit bit width, later upgraded to 16GB and 256-bit width through the SUPER version. Nvidia may adopt a similar strategy for the RTX 5070 Ti. Since video memory configuration is critical to the graphics card’s performance in high-resolution games and content creation, this detail will be a focus of attention for players and the industry.

According to current news, NVIDIA plans to release three graphics cards, RTX 5090, 5080 and 5070, at the CES show in January 2025. Among them, NVIDIA plans to release the RTX 5070 in February. They may release the RTX 5070 Ti later to further enrich the RTX 50 series product line.
