Where to buy
$549MSRP
Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.
No retailer links are configured for this card yet. CompareYourGPU does not publish purchase links it cannot stand behind, so nothing is shown here rather than a button that goes nowhere.

Should you buy it?
Recommended at the right price
At its $549 MSRP it would be below the $796 its performance justifies. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price, so confirm what it actually sells for before buying.
1440p gaming at 100+ FPS
Why
- Estimated performance index of 51 at 1440p, where 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.
- 9.3 index points per $100 at 1440p, among the strongest value here, based on launch MSRP.
- Supports DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation.
- At 1440p the RTX 5070 is 7.3% slower than the RX 9070 for about the same money, which makes it the weaker buy of the two on price alone. Based on launch MSRP.
Derived from this card's specifications, CompareYourGPU's estimated performance indices and launch MSRP. No verified current price is on record.
Watch out for
12 GB is enough at 1440p today but short of the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation, which is the specification most likely to date this card.
Consider instead
- RX 9070 XT if ray tracing is your priority. Its ray tracing index is 53 against 48, at $599.

ComputerBase Grafikkarten-Rangliste 2026
21 games · updated| Test | Average FPS | Share of fastest card tested |
|---|---|---|
| Rasteriser, 1080p | Not tested | — |

How this was measured, and what it is not
Geometric mean of average FPS. Vendor upscaling at Quality (DLSS on GeForce, FSR on Radeon, XeSS on Arc), with native TAA in a minority of titles. Not native resolution, and not a like-for-like image-quality comparison across vendors.
The ray tracing rating covers a smaller 7-game suite than the 21-game rasteriser rating, so the two are not directly comparable with each other either. ComputerBase does not test every card at every resolution; a card missing from a table has no figure here rather than an inferred one.
Because of that, these figures are not directly comparable with the estimated index above, which describes native resolution with no upscaling. Read each on its own terms rather than against the other.

Per-game measured results
No verified benchmark data yet
CompareYourGPU only publishes frame-rate figures it can attribute to a named, linkable measurement, and none have been transcribed for the RTX 5070 yet. The estimated performance indices above are clearly labelled as estimates and are the honest alternative until measured runs are recorded here.
In the meantime, the game pages set out what makes each title demanding and which resolutions this class of card suits. Heavy titles worth checking: Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy.

Technologies and features
What this card supports, and what each feature actually does for you.
Supported. This card uses 4th-generation RT cores.
DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. Availability in any individual game depends on the developer implementing it.
DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. Frame generation raises the displayed frame rate without improving responsiveness, so it works best on top of an already playable frame rate.
Hardware AV1 encode is supported. 9th-generation NVENC with AV1 and HEVC encode. 6th-generation NVDEC with AV1, HEVC and H.264 decode.
Strengths, weaknesses and who it suits
CompareYourGPU's assessment, grounded in the specifications above rather than in marketing material.
Strengths
- Good 1440p performance with the complete DLSS 4 toolkit
- 250 W is easy to accommodate in most existing builds
- 672 GB/s of GDDR7 bandwidth despite the narrow 192-bit bus
- Ray tracing performance is strong for the price
Weaknesses
- 12 GB of VRAM is the weak point for 4K and for texture-heavy releases
- 192-bit bus limits headroom at higher resolutions
- AMD's nearest competitor offers 16 GB at a similar price
Best for
- 1440p gaming at 100-144 FPS
- 1080p gaming at high refresh rates
- Ray tracing on a mid-range budget
Not ideal for
- 4K gaming without upscaling
- Buyers who want maximum VRAM headroom for the next five years
Price, value and efficiency
What the card costs, what that price should be for the performance, and what it returns per dollar and per watt.
$549MSRP
Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.
Good priceFair price for this performance: $796
Good buy below $732 · expensive above $892
The fair price is where this card’s performance index falls on the price-to-performance line fitted across every card CompareYourGPU tracks. It describes the current market, it is not a recommendation, and it moves when prices do. Calculated from launch MSRP across the database, because no verified street prices are on record.
Performance per dollar
9.3
Performance index points per $100 at 1440p, calculated from launch MSRP.
That places it in the top quarter of the database on value.
Performance per watt
20.4
Performance index points per 100 W of board power at 1440p.
That places it in the upper half of the database on efficiency.
RTX 5070 frequently asked questions
Is the RTX 5070 good for 1080p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 140-200 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 165+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 12 GB gives real headroom at 1080p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RTX 5070 good for 1440p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 90-130 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 100+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 12 GB is enough for 1440p today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
Is the RTX 5070 good for 4K gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 45-65 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That is below a sustained 60 FPS at this resolution without upscaling. 12 GB is enough for 4K today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
How much VRAM does the RTX 5070 have?
The RTX 5070 has 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, giving 672 GB/s of bandwidth. 12 GB is enough for 1440p today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
What power supply does the RTX 5070 need?
NVIDIA recommends a 650 W power supply for a complete system built around the RTX 5070, which draws 250 W of board power. It uses 1x 16-pin (12V-2x6).
Which upscaling technologies does the RTX 5070 support?
It supports DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. For frame generation it supports DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation. Support for any individual upscaler also depends on the game implementing it, so availability varies title by title.
Is the RTX 5070 good for ray tracing?
Its ray tracing index is 48 at 1440p, against a rasterisation index of 51, so it retains about 94% of its standing once ray tracing is enabled. That is a moderate result: ray tracing costs it somewhat more than average. Both figures are CompareYourGPU estimates, not measurements.
How much does the RTX 5070 cost?
It launched at $549 MSRP. CompareYourGPU does not publish a current street price because it does not yet carry a verified price feed, so check a retailer for what it actually sells for today.
What competes with the RTX 5070?
Its closest competitor from another manufacturer is the RX 9070 at $549. On CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index the RTX 5070 is about 7% behind, before ray tracing, memory capacity and upscaling support are taken into account.
