The GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 are both very fast graphic cards and you can look beyond the possibility that we may have another capital-connector-related overheating problem. But the vast majority of people (including you, distinctive and technically skilled Ars Technica reader) does not publish $ 1,000 or $ 2,000 (or $ 2,750 or whatever) on a new graphic card.
No, statistically, you (like most people) will probably buy one of the more affordable Midrange Nvidia or AMD cards, GPUs that are all planned to ship later this month or early March.
This week there has been a wave of announcements on that front. Nvidia announced yesterday that the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, which the company previously introduced into CES, would be available for $ 749 and higher from 20 February. The new GPU, like the RTX 5080, looks like a relatively modest upgrade of the RTX 4070 Ti Super from last year. But it should at least flirt with affordability for people who are looking for a native -rendered 4K without automatically calling in DLSS reveling to get playable frame speeds.
| RTX 5070 TI | RTX 4070 Ti Super | RTX 5070 | RTX 4070 Super | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cuda Cores | 8,960 | 8,448 | 6,144 | 7,168 |
| Boost the clock | 2,452 MHz | 2,610 MHz | 2,512 MHz | 2,475 MHz |
| Memory | 256-bit | 256-bit | 192-bit | 192-bit |
| Memory | 896 GB/S | 672 GB/S | 672 GB/S | 504 GB/S |
| Memory | 16 GB GDDR7 | 16 GB GDDR6X | 12 GB GDDR7 | 12GB GDDR6X |
| TGP | 300 W | 285 W | 250 W | 220 W |
That said, if the launches of the 5090 and 5080 are something to enter into, it might not be easy to find and buy the RTX 5070 TI for something close to the mentioned selling price; Early retailing lists are not promising in this area. You will also rely exclusive relying on Nvidia's partners to deliver unadorned, relatively minimalist MSRP versions of the maps, because Nvidia does not make founders -edition -version.
Regarding the $ 549 RTX 5070, the NVIDIA website says it will be launched on 5 March. But it is less exciting than the other 50-series cards because it has fewer Cuda cores than the outgoing RTX 4070 super, making it even more dependent on AI-generated frames to improve performance compared to the last generation.
