Notes on 6 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $749 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; it recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1 compliant PSU.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at UHBR20 on all three DP outputs.
  6. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Slot width: The card is 2-slot, but NVIDIA's install guide asks for 3-slot (61 mm) case clearance.

Performance and Compute

The RTX 5090 dominates heavy workloads with 21,760 shader cores and 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This massive horsepower handles extreme rendering tasks much faster than the RTX 5070 Ti.

The RTX 5070 Ti relies on 8,960 cores and 43.9 TFLOPS. Despite trailing in raw compute, it offers slightly higher base and boost clocks out of the box.

Memory and Video Editing

The RTX 5090 features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory paired with a 512-bit bus width, delivering a massive 1,792 GB/s of bandwidth and 96 MB of last-level cache. This setup handles heavy multi-display configurations and massive asset loads without choking.

The RTX 5070 Ti provides 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and an 896 GB/s bandwidth. While smaller, it drives up to four displays using the same DisplayPort 2.1b UHBR20 and HDMI 2.1b connections.

Power and System Requirements

The RTX 5090 demands a massive 575 W of board power and requires a 1,000 W power supply. It also needs careful case planning, taking up 2 slots physically while requiring 3-slot clearance.

The RTX 5070 Ti draws a much lower 300 W, needing only a 750 W power supply. Both cards use the 12V-2x6 power connector, but the lower draw of the 5070 Ti makes it far easier to fit into existing builds.
