Why the RTX 5070?

All RTX 5070 cards feature 12GB of fast GDDR7 memory, NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, and support for DLSS 4 - NVIDIA's AI-powered technology that boosts frame rates significantly in supported games.

The RTX 5070 is the card for people who want 1440p to feel effortless. Expect confident performance at 1440p ultra, smooth 4K with optimisation, and 200+ fps at 1080p for competitive gaming. It's the best balance of price and performance available right now — and the GPU most gamers should be buying.

It's not just for gaming either. Video editors, 3D artists, and anyone using AI-powered creative tools will find the 5070's memory bandwidth and NVIDIA Studio support genuinely useful in a professional context.

5060 TI vs 5070 vs 5070 TI

The 5070 sits between two solid options. The RTX 5060 Ti costs less and handles 1440p well at a lower price point. The RTX 5070 Ti goes further with 15–20% more performance and better sustained thermals - worth it if you're streaming and gaming simultaneously or pushing into 4K. The 5070 is the right call if you want exceptional 1440p performance without the Ti's price premium.

True 1440p gaming

The RTX 5070 is built for 1440p. Expect consistently high frame rates across modern AAA titles, with enough headroom for competitive gaming at 1080p and smooth performance when you push into 4K on less demanding games.

If you're building a high-performance 1440p setup, this is the GPU it's been waiting for.

DLSS4 and Ray Tracing

Ray tracing adds real-time lighting, shadows, and reflections that make games look noticeably more realistic - and the 5070 handles it well even at 1440p.

DLSS 4 is NVIDIA's AI upscaling technology that lets the GPU render at a lower resolution and intelligently reconstruct a higher-quality image, recovering the performance headroom that ray tracing costs. With Multi Frame Generation, it can generate up to three additional frames per rendered frame in supported games.

Frequently asked questions

Is the RTX 5070 worth it over the RTX 4070 Super?

In raw rasterisation performance the gap is modest, but the 5070 brings DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation which the 4070 Super doesn't support. If you're playing DLSS 4-compatible titles, the real-world frame rate difference is significant.

Is 12GB VRAM enough?

For 1440p gaming yes, though it's worth being aware that some newer titles push VRAM limits at ultra settings. If you're doing heavy creative work like 3D rendering or AI tools alongside gaming, the 5060 Ti's 16GB variant may be worth considering instead.

What is DLSS 4?

DLSS 4 is NVIDIA's latest AI upscaling technology. It renders frames at a lower resolution and reconstructs a higher-quality image using AI, recovering performance lost to demanding settings or ray tracing. Multi Frame Generation — exclusive to RTX 50 series — can generate up to three additional frames per rendered frame in supported games.

What PSU do I need for an RTX 5070?

The RTX 5070 has a 250W TDP. NVIDIA recommends a 650W PSU as a minimum, though a 750W unit gives you more headroom if you're pairing it with a high-end CPU.

Does the RTX 5070 support ray tracing?

Yes. All RTX 50 series cards include 4th gen RT cores. The 5070 handles ray tracing well at 1440p, particularly with DLSS 4 enabled to offset the performance cost.
