Notes on 12 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $749 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
- 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; other systems may need a different PSU.
- 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; it recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1 compliant PSU.
- 4NVIDIA 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.
- 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
- 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
- 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
- 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
- 9NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at UHBR20 on all three DP outputs.
- 10NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at UHBR20 on all three DP outputs.
- 11NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, Slot width: The card is 2-slot (40 mm thick), but NVIDIA's install guide asks for 3-slot (61 mm) case clearance.

Performance and Power
The RTX 5090 delivers unmatched raw power with 104.8 TFLOPS, far outpacing the 56.3 TFLOPS of the RTX 5080 and lesser tiers. That heavy compute load requires a massive 575 W board power and a 1,000 W minimum power supply. By contrast, the RTX 5070 draws just 250 W and runs efficiently on a 650 W power supply for standard builds.
Memory and Caching
VRAM capacity scales drastically across the lineup, topped by the RTX 5090 with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory across a 512-bit bus. The RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080 offer 16 GB for high-resolution gaming, while the base RTX 5070 limits you to 12 GB. Larger last-level caches also scale up to 96 MB on the flagship to accelerate complex workloads.
Physical Dimensions and Fit
The base RTX 5070 provides a compact 242 mm length and a slim 2-slot profile that fits easily into tighter PC cases. Stepping up to the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 expands the card length to 304 mm and requires a 3-slot case clearance despite their 2-slot physical thickness. Partner dimensions for the RTX 5070 Ti vary depending on the manufacturer.
The Verdict
Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 if you want an efficient Blackwell card for $549. Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 if you need 16 GB of video memory for advanced gaming. Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 if you demand uncompromising flagship performance with 32 GB of VRAM.
