I know RTX 5070 is tricking me. Parking next to the extravagance of RTX 5090 two children, this £ 539 / $ 549 graphics card looks like a very pleasant agreement, providing all DLSS 4 and multi -framed generations like big brothers. In addition, a upgrade to RTX 4070 Super, GPU can handle 4K without finding too many positions in the high -end 1080p rig. However, tragic, RTX 5070 breaks a sacred covenant, a mutual understanding between PC owners and manufacturers of parts that have been strongly held for decades: if you buy a new version of something, it will be faster than the old version of that thing. Looking through MFG illusion, and too often, not so.
The rifle through the specifications does not give any obvious reason for this lack of performance; The number of CUDA core of RTX 5070 is at 6144, which is only in the middle of the RTX 4070 (5888) and RTX 4070 Super (7168), but both the base and accelerating speed has been increased to compensate. VRAM, meanwhile, is still at 12GB, but with a conversion from GDDR6X to GDDR7 has more bandwidth significantly. After that, with energy ratings, the founder version was delayed and here were the three PNY GeForce RTX 5070 OC placed at 250W-50W compared to a super RTX 4070 level. It looks, and sound, like a good generation update.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 reviews: 4K benchmarks
While RTX 5070 made a 4K candidate, surpassing 60fps in most extremely high quality games without upgrading, the only time it created a marked faster frame in a process adjustment.
Obviously, very few potential buyers will be upgraded directly from the last year’s RTX 4070 to RTX 5070, and the latest model at least made for a meat improvement on RTX 3070.
It is also worth solving a specific requirement, given by NVIDIA in their original Se -RTX 50 notifications, that RTX 5070 provides “RTX 4090 performance” with MFG. This is, depending on your level of generosity, either a lack of context or completely Tosh. Although it is true, for example, 4 times MFG can drag RTX 5070 to 71fps in a path that completely tracks Alan Wake 2, only equal or faster than RTX 4090 if you refuse old GPUs older tools. Certainly, it only needs to create a 2x frame, the old time of DLSS 3 to average 82fps on the identical settings. In short, the only way RTX 5070 actually moves at the same speed as the RTX 4090 is if they are in the same delivery truck.
You can still consider MFG as a group trick of RTX 5070, although at the specific 4K, it is not a person who makes a difference like on Burlier tags such as RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080. As a result, when 4 times MFG starts, it produces a higher number in a frame counter but does not really help the game run and smoother or more responding to the 40 series of DLSS limit. As far as your PC knows, it still only runs at 26/21 and all the frames created by AI in the world will not escape the feeling of slow down that the aiming and controlling the camera will be affected in those conditions.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 reviews: Benchmark 1440p
1440P is a more comfortable environment for the RTX 5070 gene technology, although its problems with excessive efficiency remain. If anything, it is than The strange chamber here, when the higher framerates make it more naked between this and its predecessor.
In Assassin Creed Mirage, RTX 4070 Super even completed ahead, if it is only a single frame, while even the games that RTX 5070 is relatively good in (Cyberpunk 2077, F1 24) only see an increase of 10%. There is a simultaneous distance with the RTX 5070 TI, showing that you do not need to extend to the quality Ti version for QUAD HD quality, and again, anyone upgrading from RTX 3070 will be increased speed. However, these benefits can be applied to RTX 4070 Super equal to RTX 5070.
The same thing cannot be said, in fairness, for the frame gene efficiency. Although these tests show that the RTX 5070 is a bit worse in the process of handling the traces of the path/tracing full of rays compared to the RTX 40 Pesky GPUs, unlike 4K, it can create all the previous generation frames to support the 4 -time MFG application.
I don’t say this is a complete replacement for traditional frames, but at least in this resolution, you can see where NVIDIA comes from. Escape from the need to compensate for the 30fps extra frames, Frame Gen is free to simply clarify the smoothness of the games that have run fully, as it must have.
However, it is difficult to not see the towering RTX 5070 and RTX 5080 bars, wondering why the standard RTX 5070 cannot do a bit more in the normal output.
Review NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070: Benchmark 1080p
Reducing to a screen is even less demanding to enhance the proposal of the value of RTX 5070. However, once again, it is obsessed with the ghosts of the XX70 GPU in the past, especially in Assassin Creed Mirage, where it repeats its embarrassing loss. It has a few more frames on the RTX 4070 Super in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but then it runs so fast that you need a 300Hz screen and inhumane observation skills to perceive them to work.
That means we must return to the world of maximum lighting effects and create AI frames to search for award award. Like at 1440p, RTX 5070 started to be worse and could not be explained compared to the RTX 4070 Super when searching for related links, although in both games, it still formed a solid basis to apply MFG 4X without the need for your input in your part.
You will have to forgive me for not sharing these results with enthusiastic effervescence that many color bar charts are worthy. I know it is not like the RTX 5070 that has been so recovered that it is a bad GPU in the sense of it in RRP, like this PNY model has a price, and it is still a good multi-industry graphics card that will comfortably play anything other than the most cruel 4K installation. And what I said earlier, about RTX 4070 Super will be cheaper faster? Readers, I’m afraid it’s conjecture. Right now, these things are still sold within £ 600- £ 700, and while many RTX 5070 board partners will surely fill the same space, if these two GPUs have the same price, there is no attractive reason to stick with the old. There may be an effective argument for the power of RTX 4070 – I have measured it peaked at 219W in my tests, compared to 251W on RTX 5070 – but for all its shortcomings, I would rather MFG rather than save 30W.
However, it is also completely fair and reasonable when expecting some improvements of meaning, not entirely anyone from each new generation. The RTX 5070 is simply not provided, and I am really worried that if we simply shrugged and accepted it, creating frames would be the only way that the GPU in the future was concerned about upgrading “performance”. Even when, because the results of the 4K 4K path show that such an approach is not enough when the industry’s games continue to ask more and more your hardware.
This assessment is based on a retail unit provided by the manufacturer.
