Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review: No, it’s not “4090 performance at $549”

Summary

• Nvidia’s CEO claimed the GeForce RTX 5070 would match the frame rates of its $1,600RTX4090,butitisunabletocompetewiththespeedsofthe$1,200 RTX 4080 or the RTX 4070 Ti or even the $1,150 4070 Super it is supposed to replace.
• While the card is sufficient for 4K and 1440p monitors and is AMD’s new Radeon RX 9070 series, it is still hard to get excited about due to its disproportionate power usage.
• The specs show it has a slightly increased CUDA core count from the 4070, as well as a 33% increase in memory bandwidth from the addition of GDDR7 and increased GPU clock speed, all of which likely explains its higher power consumption.
