NVIDIA’s next-gen 50 Series graphics cards made their debut with the one-two punch of the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080. These top-tier cards give hardcore gamers, creative professionals, and PC enthusiasts an all-new tier of performance. Now, more gamers than ever will be able to upgrade their PC with the Blackwell architecture and the latest NVIDIA RTX features. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti has arrived, and we’re marking the occasion with the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and Prime GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.
Blackwell rides again
With the GeForce RTX 50 Series, NVIDIA debuts its latest Blackwell architecture. Armed with fifth-gen Tensor cores, new streaming multiprocessors optimized for neural shaders, and fourth-gen Ray Tracing cores built for Mega Geometry, the new graphics cards unlock access to the next generation of graphics technologies.
For many gamers, the highlight of the new architecture is DLSS 4. DLSS is a revolutionary suite of neural rendering technologies that uses AI to boost FPS, reduce latency, and improve image quality. The latest breakthrough, DLSS 4, brings new Multi Frame Generation and enhanced Ray Reconstruction and Super Resolution. But there’s more. NVIDIA Reflex 2 with Frame Warp provides game-winning responsiveness, and these cards are equipped to give you the best experience with ray-traced graphics yet.
Alongside the architecture updates comes beefed-up video memory. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti boosts memory bandwidth with speedy GDDR7. Its plentiful 16GB helping of VRAM will give you the freedom to crank up the graphics settings in any game out there, even at higher resolutions.
Add all these advantages up, and you have graphics cards that take a solid step forward over their last-gen namesakes — and a little bit of performance tuning using GPU Tweak III has the potential to unlock even more FPS. To learn more about the software’s easy overclocking utilities and real-time performance monitoring features, check out our GPU Tweak III guides.
Two options for your gaming rig
We’re kicking things off with the Prime GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. The Prime card offers a slimmer 2.5-slot design for wide chassis compatibility, and as SFF-Ready cards, it’ll fit comfortably into any chassis that’s also labeled through the NVIDIA GeForce SFF-Ready program.
The Prime GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers effective cooling in its lean dimensions. New for this generation is a phase-change GPU thermal pad. By melting to effectively fill the gaps between the GPU and the thermal module, this pad provides superior thermal conductivity and enhanced heat dissipation, ensuring optimal performance. Phase-change thermal pads offer greater longevity than traditional thermal pastes, giving you peace of mind that your card’s cooling solution is built to go the distance. Three Axial-tech fans with longer blades direct a steady, focused stream of air to the heatsink, which has venting on the backplate to give heat another pathway to exhaust from the card.
The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti model kicks up the cooling with a beefier 3.125-slot design. Its overall larger dimensions, larger heatsinks, long-bladed Axial-tech fans, and vented exoskeletons makes it even more effective at keeping their components cool. Like its Prime brother, it offers a phase-change GPU thermal pad for optimal heat dissipation and a protective PCB coating helps protect against moisture and debris.
High-bandwidth next-gen connectors
Don’t miss the upgrade that NVIDIA 50 Series graphics cards offer regarding their connectivity selection. The ports on the Prime GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti are equipped for stunning bandwidth, enabling you to take advantage of some truly next-level displays. PC gamers will likely be most interested in the trio of DisplayPort 2.1b ports capable of up to 80Gbps of throughput thanks to the four lanes of the UHBR20 link.
The engineers on our display team will have no shortage of ways to play with all that bandwidth, but here’s one that’s already here: DisplayPort 2.1 allows for 4K 240Hz without compression. Check out the just-launched ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM to experience high-resolution, high-PPI gaming without the need for DSC. Even more dazzling combinations are theoretically possible with DisplayPort 2.1 and DSC. We’re not ready to make any announcements on this front yet, but unhindered access to the next generation of gaming displays is undoubtedly a major draw of the Prime GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.
Built to go the distance
We go above and beyond to give you the confidence that your Prime or TUF Gaming graphics card will deliver the performance you need for years to come. Their highly durable dual ball fan bearings offer twice the lifespan of other options, and they’re equipped with long-life capacitors. Additionally, these cards were built with our Auto-Extreme Technology, which automates the manufacturing process so that all soldering can be completed in a single pass, reducing thermal strain and environmental impact for a product that will stand the test of time.
To protect the GPU, the Prime GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti feature ASUS GPU Guard. This process applies adhesive to secure all four corners to reduce the risk of cracks, while a GPU bracket helps ensure uniform mounting pressure and extra stability. The PCB gets additional protection, too, with reinforcement provided by a backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and to protect components and trace pathways from damage.
Prime graphics cards do more with GPU Tweak III
The latest version of our GPU Tweak III software has everything you need to customize your experience with your Prime graphics card. Our ASUS preset modes allow you to boost your card’s power or cut back on noise with a single click, and you can even set your own profiles on a game-by-game basis.
Our Mobile Monitor is one of the most exciting new features, though, allowing you to connect to GPU Tweak via your phone or other remote device to monitor your GPU without adding overlays on top of your gameplay. Set your phone or tablet up on a stand next to your PC, connect to the GPU Tweak mobile monitor interface, and keep an eye on system stats without sacrificing immersion on-screen.
Finally, we’ve also made our VF Tuner more user-friendly than ever, providing fine-grained control over the clock speed curve of your GPU. We’ve even improved the on-screen display, the import and export function, and built-in a GPU-Z interface so you can get detailed GPU information without having to install GPU-Z separately. The latest GPU Tweak III improvements are available today, and you can download the program here.
Even more free software

Power considerations for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
For folks buying a 50-series graphics card, we recommend taking a moment to make sure that your power supply is up to task. If you’re building your first PC, or if it’s been a while since you last bought a PSU, click here to learn more about how to pick a PSU and what differentiates the different ASUS lineups.
Perhaps you’d prefer a quick recommendation instead. For the Prime GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, we’ll point you to ASUS Prime 850W Gold. Draped in complementary style, equipped for efficient performance, and ready for your new graphics card with a bundled 16-pin PCIe cable, it’s an easy choice for your next build.
For the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, the TUF Gaming 850W Gold might be the perfect partner. Beyond its signature TUF aesthetic, it’s equipped with many of the technologies that allow its TUF graphics card partner to go the distance: military-grade capacitors and chokes, dual ball fan bearings, a protective PCB coating, and an Axial-tech fan design.
We often recommend that builders bump up a wattage tier, though. This makes it more likely that you’re operating in the sweet spot of your PSU’s efficiency curve, and the extra overhead can help if you add lots of USB devices or dig into some overclocking. The TUF Gaming 1000W Gold gives you the wattage boost you’re looking for — and it doesn’t cost all that much more, either.
Next-gen gaming experiences await with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
Card by card, the next-gen NVIDIA 50 Series graphics card lineup is filling out. The Prime GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti join the fray alongside the top-end RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 models. If you need a slimmed-down SFF-Ready card in a 2.5-slot design, the Prime card awaits. If you’re looking for a beefier cooling solution and the battle-hardened TUF Gaming aesthetic, the TUF model stands ready.
