Nvidia RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti specs leaked: Here's everything you need to know

The Nvidia RTX 5070 series of GPUs didn't receive as many leaks as the flagship RTX 5080 and 5090 cards, but that has changed. The specs of both the Nvidia RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti have been leaked, courtesy of @kopite7kimi on X. The leak mentions the graphics die, memory capacity, CUDA cores, and more.

In this article, we will analyze the rumored specs of both the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti GPUs and estimate their potential performance.

Note: Some aspects of this article are subjective and solely reflect the writer's opinions. Furthermore, readers should take the leaked information with a grain of salt. Due to a lack of official media, the article utilizes images of older GPU models.

The leaks about the Nvidia RTX 50 series of graphics cards are not entirely new. We have previously discussed the RTX 5070 Ti possibly having 16 GB of memory and a few other claims.

Thanks to @kopite7kimi, we have more leaked specs surrounding the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti. Using these supposed specs, we can infer more details, including memory bandwidth.

With that said, here's the leaked specs list of the Nvidia RTX 5070 series:

Specifications	Nvidia RTX 5070	Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti
GPU Architecture	Blackwell	Blackwell
GPU Die	GB205-300-A1	GB203-300-A1
CUDA Cores	48	70
Shader cores	6144	8960
RT cores	48	70
Memory capacity	12 GB GDDR7	16 GB GDDR7
Memory bus width	192-bit	256-bit
Memory speed	28 Gbps	28 Gbps
Memory bandwidth	672 GB/s	896 GB/s
Thermal design power (TDPs)	250 W	300 W

As per the leak, the gap in CUDA cores, ray tracing cores, and memory capacity between the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti may be much larger than the RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti. This could lead to an even bigger performance gap between the two models.

In the past, when Nvidia launched a new GPU, the company targeted a performance class above its predecessor. For example, the RTX 3070 targeted the RTX 2080 Ti class of performance, while the RTX 4070 targeted the RTX 3080, and so on.

As per this pattern, the Nvidia RTX 5070 could be as powerful as the RTX 4070 Ti, while the RTX 5070 Ti could rival the RTX 4080. However, note that this is just pure speculation.

When could the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti launch?

Nvidia has made no official announcements regarding the launch of the RTX 50 series. However, the company will grace the CES 2025 event on January 6, 2025, and might unveil the series.

The RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070 Ti could be the first GPUs to be announced at CES 2025.
