The GeForce RTX 5070, an upper mid-range GPU based on the “Blackwell” architecture that NVIDIA says is “twice as fast” as the GeForce RTX 4070, featuring 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672 GB/sec of total memory bandwidth, will be available beginning on Wednesday, March 5, according to an update on the official NVIDIA GeForce website.
“Get game-changing performance with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell. Game at high frame rates with DLSS 4, supercharge your creativity with NVIDIA Studio, and enable new experiences with the power of AI,” NVIDIA says of the GPUs before confirming that the RTX 5070 Ti ($749) and RTX 5070 ($549) will be releasing on February 20 and March 5, respectively.
Here are some benchmarks for the card from NVIDIA that tease the GPU’s performance in some of today’s more popular games (e.g., Resident Evil 4 and Cyberpunk 2077) ahead of third-party reviews:
And here’s what NVIDIA’s Andrew Burnes had to say about it last month:
The GeForce RTX 5070 sports the powerful new cores of the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture 12GB GDDR7 memory, and has 672 GB/sec of total memory bandwidth, compared to the GeForce RTX 4070’s 504 GB/sec.
At 2560×1440, with full ray tracing and other settings maxed, and DLSS Multi Frame Generation enabled, GeForce RTX 5070 owners can play Black Myth: Wukong, Alan Wake 2, and Cyberpunk 2077 at high frame rates, with performance that is twice as fast on average compared to the GeForce RTX 4070.
The GeForce RTX 5070 will be available starting at $549.
