Premium desktop GPU in white with top performance - KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF (Hall of Fame) Gaming review

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF Gaming presents itself in the test as a powerful upper mid-range model with clear high-end requirements. In Full HD and QHD, it consistently delivers excellent performance. Thanks to DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation (MFG), it can also smoothly handle many games at UHD. The 16GB GDDR7 memory offers plenty of headroomand ensures the card is future-proof, especially in the for Full HD and QHD gaming.

Visually, the HoF series impresses with its iconic white design, a key feature found across almost all of its components. KFA2 strikes a successful balance with the HoF Gaming - it's both elegant and eye-catching without being overly flashy, even with the RGB lighting active. The only minor criticism is the factory fan curve, which could be optimized, but it's an easy fix using the Xtreme Tuner software. KFA2 keeps both noise levels and temperatures under control at all times. The massive triple-slot cooler not only reinforces the premium feel of the HoF series but also provides ample thermal headroom for manual overclocking. With its ability to draw up to 350 watts, the KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF Gaming offers plenty of room to unlock the card's full potential.

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF Gaming currently costs around €999 (about $1,050). At X-Kom the graphics card can be ordered directly, and KFA2 also sells its cards on Amazon Deutschland.

Translator's note: The KFA2 brand is not typically sold by major retailers in North America. Instead, you should look for a GALAX version of this card, which is the brand sold in that market.

Like the RTX 5080, the KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF Gaming is based on the GB203 chip and is the third most powerful consumer GPU of the Blackwell generation. While it shares the same technical foundation as its competitors, the HoF series is uniquely tuned for performance and is a top choice for overclockers. This is thanks to its special features and high-end design, which set it apart from other models. A key highlight is its generous 16 GB of VRAM, which puts it on par with the GeForce RTX 5080.

Note:

Even the shipping was a first stress test for the KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF Gaming, as can be seen in some pictures. The parcel service was not squeamish with the box - annoying for collectors of packaging. Fortunately, the graphics card remained undamaged thanks to the sturdy foam.

The test platform consists of an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D running on an Asrock X870E Taichi motherboard with the latest BIOS. The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF Gamingwas tested at its factory settings, with no changes made to its power consumption or clock speeds.

The synthetic benchmarks for the KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF Gaming demonstrate the card's strong performance, positioning it competitively against current AMD Radeon RX 9000-series models.

Compared to the Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 OC, the KFA2 card is approximately 17 percent slower—an understandable difference given its lower price and performance tier. In our tests, there was no measurable performance difference between the HoF model, the in-house KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC and the Zotac GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme.

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF Gaming clearly ranks below the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, yet it delivers solid performance for semi-professional workloads. It achieves good results in SPECviewperf 2020, while the gap to the larger models shrinks noticeably in the SPECworkstation 4.0 test.

The KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF Gaming provides ample power to play current titles smoothly. Depending on the game, however, some adjustments to resolution or graphics settings may be necessary. The card is particularly suitable for gaming in Full HD and QHD, where the 16 GB VRAM offers sufficient scope. In UHD, it can be challenging to maintain consistently high frame rates in the most demanding games, especially when relying on traditional rendering. However, with technologies such as DLSS 4 and Frame Generation, performance can be noticeably increased.

In pure rasterization, the KFA2 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HoF Gaming shows only a minor performance gain over the previous Ada Lovelace architecture. The card truly unlocks its full potential when Multi-Frame Generation (MFG) and DLSS 4 are enabled, which allows even demanding 4K games to be played smoothly. Compared to the RTX 5080, the RTX 5070 Ti - even with AI support - is around 20 percent behind, but still positions itself as a strong competitor in the high-end segment.
