NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Rumored To Feature 8960 Cores & 300W TGP, 17% More Cores Than 4070 Ti

New specifications regarding a fourth NVIDIA Blackwell Gaming GPU have emerged and this time, we are looking at the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti To Feature 17% More Cores Than The 4070 Ti & Slightly Higher Power Rating

So far, we have talked about three NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” GPUs which will make their debut in the gaming segment next year at CES 2025. Now, Videocardz has managed to get information on a fourth variant from renowned leaker, Kopite7kimi, who has laid out the initial specifications of the Ti variant for the RTX 5070.

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is going to be sandwiched between the RTX 5070 and RTX 5080, both of which will be targeted at high-end and enthusiast gamers. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is said to use the GB203 GPU with a reference board labeled as “PG147 SKU 60”. This graphics card will feature a cut-down configuration of the GB203 GPU which will also be used on the RTX 5080, so the PCB will remain pretty much the same with minor changes.

As for the core configuration, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is rumored to feature 8960 cores, which is more than the 7680 cores of the RTX 4070 Ti and 8448 cores of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. This is 16.6% more cores than the RTX 4070 Ti and 6% more cores than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.

If we go another generation back, then we can see that the RTX 4070 Ti featured a 26% core count uplift versus its predecessor, the RTX 3070 Ti, so in that aspect alone, the 5070 Ti isn’t as big of an update as the RTX 4070 Ti. That is also the case with the RTX 5080, which has a minor core count bump over the RTX 4080 and the 4080 SUPER.

As for the TDP, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is expected to feature a 300W TGP, which makes it 15W higher than the 285W rating of the RTX 4070 Ti and its SUPER variant. Again, not a huge bump in terms of power requirements, but overall, that’s a good thing. The RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 do have a bigger bump in power specs versus their predecessors. But once again, TGPs shouldn’t be seen as actual power consumption, which in the case of Ada “RTX 40” GPUs, was much lower than their rated TDP/TGPs.

The VRAM configuration is currently unknown would be rather interesting to see if NVIDIA goes with the full 256-bit bus and a 16 GB capacity or cuts it down to 12 GB with a 192-bit bus. It should be pointed that the RTX 4070 Ti launched with a 12 GB & 192-bit memory interface but was later upgraded to the 16 GB & 256-bit memory interface in the SUPER upgrade.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is expected to debut next year. So far, we have only come to know that the company plans on unveiling the initial trio as the RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070. The 5070 Ti may be launched at a later date since the 5090 and 5080 are expected in January, while the 5070 is aiming for a February retail launch. With that said, CES is going to be action-packed with next-gen launches by NVIDIA and AMD, so stay tuned for more info.
