Verified Jun 27, 2026 · figures linked to their source in the table below
- Best for Very good 1440p rasterization performance, over 100 FPS in many games; DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation delivers transformative smoothness/image quality.
- Skip if 12GB VRAM too skimpy for the price and inadequate for 4K + RT is a dealbreaker.
Is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 a good buy?
At $549, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is #7 cheapest of the 12 graphics cards (GPUs) we track, where the median is $464. On the spec sheet, its boost clock of 2510 MHz is below the median of the 12, its cuda or stream cores of 6144 is above the median of the 13, and its tdp of 250 W is above the median of the 13.

What reviewers say about the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070
Three whitelisted testers (TechPowerUp, Tom's Hardware, PCWorld) all lab-benchmarked the RTX 5070 Founders Edition and agree: a strong 1440p card with excellent DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Gen, but a weak generational upgrade (roughly matching the RTX 4070 Super) hampered by just 12GB of VRAM, poor for 4K.

Where reviewers disagree Tone diverged sharply. TechPowerUp called the $550 MSRP 'very reasonable' and praised the card's efficiency, while PCWorld branded it 'one of the worst generational GPU upgrades in memory' and Tom's Hardware flagged the Founders Edition as 'the loudest card out of our test collection' and 'one of the hottest running GPUs in recent history.'
The sources (3)
1440p rasterization uplift vs RTX 4070: 22% · 4K rasterization uplift vs RTX 4070: 25% · Gaming power draw: ~230 W · Peak temperature: 77 C · Fan noise: 38 dBA · Overclocking real-life performance gain: +13%
At 1440p, with pure rasterization, without ray tracing or DLSS, we measured a 22% performance uplift over the RTX 4070, which is a bit lower than expected, but alright I'd say.
While the RTX 5070 is definitely a great card for 1440p, it's a little bit weak for 4K gaming without upscaling
12 GB VRAM not enough for 4K + RT + Frame Gen in some titles
Average power draw at 4K: 242 W · Average GPU temperature across suite: 74 C or less · Peak noise during Cyberpunk 2077 stress test: 50 dB(A)
the RTX 5070 Founders Edition ends up being one of the hottest running GPUs in recent history
The RTX 5070 Founders Edition ends up being the loudest card out of our test collection, hitting 50 dB(A) during our Cyberpunk 2077 stress test.
Nvidia's new graphics card delivers virtually identical performance to the RTX 4070 Super , a year after the 4070 Super launched.
It sails past the 100 frames-per-second mark in many of our gaming benchmarks, even with all graphics settings cranked to the maximum at 1440p resolution.
12GB memory capacity isn't enough for a $550 GPU in 2025
