Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti Roundup: 9 Graphics Cards Tested

I paid $1000 with tax for tuf edition soon after the release. There was a drop in price last year when people were able to get these for near msrp prices.
Now it is back to 1000+ bucks...
 
Such wonderful choices in 2026 for Mid-High End GPU's

9070XT: Decent price, average at Ray Tracing, Crap at Path Tracing, 2nd tier upscaling & Frame Generation solutions.

5070Ti: Dysfunctional supply and prices, Don't Bother.

5080: Overpriced, under specced, underperforming 'Meh' level GPU, Don't Bother.

5090: Great for the 1% Trust fund brats, drug dealers, pimps and gang members to play COD all day.
 
So thankful to own a 5090. It's the only card where I can be certain I'll be top of the charts until the 6090 comes to market.

Don't forget that all these cards (only a couple of the 9070XT models) can possibly start your computer on fire, too!
 
Honestly I'm glad I got my 4080 Super at release. 16 GB VRAM... The only thing I'll probably miss is DLSS 5 at the end of this year. This may actually be a feature that makes me buy a Blackwell card.
 
So glad that my 4090 still kicks ***. Bought it for 2100 in January of 2023 and it still rocks. I could sell it for 4 grand if I wanted, that's how stupid everything is right now.
 
I got the MSI Gaming Trio OC on a Newegg flash sale in May '25 for $850 USD and I'm quite pleased with its performance. It's a good gain over my 3080 (for which I paid $750 in 2022 and received a $350 trade-in credit) and the FG feature is huge for me at 3440x1440 175Hz.

My sample is a good overclocker too - I have it locked in at a stable 3300MHz boost and it usually stays under 70° in heavy gaming.

I'm happy with my Asus TUF 5070 ti. I play most games on my 27" 1440p @ 180hz monitor maxed out, and occasionally on a LG C4 65" 4k @ 120hz also maxed out.

DLSS is finally in a really good spot and I dabble with frame gen (usually nothing higher than 2x just to match the 120hz) but honestly even 4x still looks great.

I used to be a snob and just want raw performance, but the quality is so good now that I don't really waste time thinking about it. Gaming is fun :)
 
It's ironic, I thought $3200 for 5090 Msi Supreme Liquid at Jan 2025 was absurd. Never imagined prices will go to $5000! Yikes.
 
Got a PNY 5070 TI $750 MSRP and came with copy of Borderlands 4 included back in August, which I think was the best deal. I think it got down to $720 after but no game included. Then for a while they stopped selling it altogether, and now the same card is $999.99. It was these scalper prices the entire first half of last year also. Upgraded from a GTX 1080 so very big improvement.

I got a 5080 and I cant agree more. Its barely any faster than 4080/5070ti and it never goes to 4090 levels, even OC. Ofc, my Palit card cant OC the power soo... it cant go that high. I guess thats for the better. I dont want it to draw more than 360W, which is already huge.

Im never quite happy with this card. In so many games my fps is hovering around 58-62... its barely giving me 60 fps now in the games I play/at the settings I use. Frame gen is a no go too. In some games I cant even use it, the VRAM runs out lol. Which also sucks. 16GB? They got 3 cards with 16GB. Nothing more that sells for a sane price. What a joke. At least its not 4080 super kind of joke. Now that was a good one. 1% faster card... SUPER!!

P.s. Can people review some Palit cards btw? All of these are more overpriced. Ill never buy an Asus card. Period. They cost 100-500 bucks more. Yea, that crazy. GB is close second here. GW/Palit/MSI are the only sane companies atm.

I don't get why FG is a no-go for you. I use it whenever I can. I see no visual degradation as long as the baseline fps is 50~60+. Have a 5070ti too

Might be due to the increased latency/input lag. I can definitely feel it even at 2x but only in fast-paced games.
 

Please dont show reviews for anything from that site.

It's not a review site is a profesional shilling site in return for all the 'free stuff'.

You will never, ever find them criticizing any product, at all.

Then don't read the review. You want to be critical about it, fine. The person I responded to was asking if anyone did a review Palit cards and I recalled seeing one done there. I was trying to be helpful to the person asking, not trying to please your royal highness.

Grow up. You don't like it, don't read it.

What review?

It's a sales pitch for a freebie. That isn't helping anyone.

Again, if you don't like it don't read it. Just because you think it isn't worth your time doesn't mean others feel the same. Maybe they may gain some sort of insight from it, even if it is limited or they may find it useless, that's up to the reader to decide.

I only pointed to a spot for a review that I recalled seeing one. If you don't like them from that source then complain to the creator/author of it. So, grow up and be helpful and offer another source for what you would consider as being a review or stop posting about something you can't change.

Crying here doesn't fix whatever ails you.
