Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: release date

Nvidia leaves little left to the imagination with GeForce RTX 5070 Ti but some of the card’s qualities remain up in the air ahead of launch.

If you’re considering grabbing a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti come launch, whether by choice or necessity given availability of its peers, here’s everything you need to know about the graphics card. Nvidia’s revealed much about its offering but I’ve plugged any gaps with credible rumours and educated guesses. Expect the final word on it via the Club386 review in due course.

Release date

GeForce RTX 5070 Ti will hit store shelves on February 2025, following the launch of its RTX 5090 and 5080 siblings in January. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed the release window during the company’s CES 2025 keynote.

In lieu of a specific date, recent rumours suggest GeForce RTX 5070 Ti will launch on February 20 with the card’s review embargo lifting a day prior. It’s unclear whether Nvidia plans to release RTX 5070 simultaneously but it seems more likely that the company will adopt a later date given its recent release strategies.

Specs

GeForce RTX 5070 Ti uses the same G203 GPU as found in RTX 5080, albeit with 17% (14) fewer Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs). This leaves the graphics card with a smaller amount of CUDA, RT, and Tensor cores, relative to the more-expensive and more-performant 80 class model. However, it does retain much of its sibling’s memory configuration and requires less power.

Performance

The generational uplift GeForce RTX 5070 Ti offers is up to 2.9x in games and 3.7x in AI workloads according to Nvidia. It’s important to note, however, that the former improvement is while using the full DLSS 4 suite (including Multi Frame Generation).
