Is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti a Budget-Friendly Alternative to the RTX 4080? Our In-Depth Review

We couldn’t get our hands on the 4070 Ti Super, 4070 Ti, or 3070 Ti for testing. However, we did gather some performance data from older reviews using a different setup. These numbers come from a PC with older drivers running a Ryzen 7 7800X3D instead of a 9800X3D. We’ve marked these findings with asterisks in our charts. They should give you a decent idea about the performance of those older GPUs, but keep in mind the slight variance.

Performance and Power

The 5070 Ti comes with fewer CUDA cores than the 4080 models, but it still delivers impressive performance. Thanks to architectural upgrades and improved memory bandwidth, it manages to perform nearly on par with both 4080 cards. In many tests, it fits snugly between the 4080 and 4080 Super. Interestingly, its power usage during intense tasks is almost the same as those cards.

The 5070 Ti performs similarly to the RTX 4080 and even supports DLSS Multi-Frame Generation. At a price of $749, it seems appealing, but that allure fades as the cost approaches $1,000.

In many game tests, the 5070 Ti achieves about 90% of the performance of the 5080. It is also roughly 60% as capable as the RTX 5090. While it lags behind in raw speed, its price-to-performance ratio shines, particularly since it must compete with other GPUs. For instance, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX often matches the 5070 Ti’s performance in non-ray-traced games, although it’s currently hard to find at a reasonable price.
