Currently the most useful graphics card in the Nvidia RTX 5000 series: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti review

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC delivers consistently strong performance, efficient cooling and an attractive appearance. Thanks to its new Nvidia architecture, it achieves high fps values in current games and scores with good energy efficiency. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti can play to its strengths in 1,440p in particular, although you should turn to DLSS and Multi Frame Generation in 2,160p in order to maintain sufficiently high frame rates. 
Its cooling system works efficiently and has no problems with heat dissipation. The card is slightly audible under load, but not annoyingly loud. The "Xtreme Tuner" tool enables simple adjustments to clock rates, power target and RGB lighting—even from your smartphone.

With a TGP of 300 watts, the card is a lot more frugal than the high-end models, but still requires a suitably powerful power supply. Comparing it directly with the RTX 5080 shows that the 5070 Ti is an attractive alternative for gamers. At 16 GB, its graphics memory is just as large as that of the RTX 5080, which makes more sense for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, even if its VRAM limit is identical. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti isn't a pure 4K gaming graphics card, which is why its VRAM is currently an appropriate size in 1,080p or 1,440p.

KFA2 quotes an MRSP of around $1,000 for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC, which means that it isn't quite one of the cheapest models in the series. Competitor models with the same graphics chip are available from just under $1,000.

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC has an estimated MRSP of around $1,000.

Like the RTX 5080, the KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC is based on the GB203 chip and is the third most powerful consumer GPU of the Blackwell generation. Technically, it offers lots of the same features as the larger models, but with reduced performance. The differences primarily lie in its shader units, memory clock and bandwidth, but it is nevertheless a powerful choice for gamers and creative professionals. Its 16 GB VRAM in particular is a plus point, as it is the same size as the GeForce RTX 5080.

Thanks to its Blackwell architecture, a wide range of games can benefit from DLSS and the new Multi Frame Generation (MFG). This function can be activated via the Nvidia app, even if a game does not support it natively—according to Nvidia, without any loss of performance.

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC features a modern design and robust construction. Its metal-plastic cover and reinforced aluminum backplate ensure good stability and heat dissipation. Visually, KFA2 has gone for a striking design with bold RGB lighting. Three large axial fans ensure efficient cooling, even under high loads.

With a length of almost 32 centimeters, the RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC is one of the larger models in its class. Its 2.5-slot design can restrict neighboring PCIe slots under certain circumstances, but should easily fit into most gaming and workstation cases. Overall, its build and design leave a high-quality and well thought-out impression that should appeal to both gamers and demanding content creators.

The graphics card itself comes with a metal stand to stabilize it in the case. There is also a power adapter (3x 8-pin PCIe to 12 V 2x6) and an RGB connection cable to control the lighting effects via the mainboard.

We used the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D on an Asrock X870E Taichi motherboard as the test system for our test. No changes were made to the graphics card's maximum power consumption or the KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC's clock rates.

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC's synthetic benchmark results revealed good performance, setting itself apart from the current AMD Radeon RX 9000 models. Compared to the Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 OC, our test sample lost around 18 percentage points, which is an acceptable performance disadvantage.

However, it should be noted that synthetic benchmarks don't always reflect the actual performance during games or productive applications. Depending on the optimized driver support and individual game settings, true performance may deviate from these test results.

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC clearly ranked behind the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 during our test. It's still a solid choice for semi-professional applications, and it achieved good performance during SPECviewperf 2020. In the SPECworkstation 4.0 test, all the results were closer together, while AMD GPUs did well during supported workloads.

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC offers enough performance to run current games smoothly. Even so, you will have to accept some limitations in terms of resolution or detail level. For gamers who choose the KFA2 RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC, the choice of display is also crucial: The graphics card is particularly suitable for FHD and QHD gaming, which means that its VRAM of 16 GB is sufficient in size. In 4K, however, the graphics card could have difficulties maintaining high frame rates in the long term—especially if you rely purely on classic rasterization and don't use technologies such as DLSS 4 or Frame Generation.

In terms of pure raster performance, Blackwell barely stands out from Ada Lovelace, but DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation (MFG) noticeably increase the fps. The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC shows that even demanding 4K games run smoothly. Compared to the Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 OC, it lagged behind by around 20% during our test.

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC's power consumption only rose slightly to 300 watts during our test, but it rarely reached this value during the gaming test and usually balanced out between 250 and 280 watts. It is more frugal than the RTX 5080 and 5090 and on par with the AMD Radeon 9000. For smooth operation, KFA2 recommends a power supply with at least 750 watts, with a native 12 V 2x6 connection that can deliver 450 watts. Alternatively, the enclosed adapter (3x8-pin PCIe to 12 V 2x6) can also be used.
