It has been widely rumored that NVIDIA is preparing to launch the GeForce RTX 5000 series GPUs in early 2025. Recent leaks have provided preliminary information about the RTX 5070 Ti, indicating an increase in both VRAM and TDP. This suggests that the new upper mid-range GPU will address the growing demand for increased VRAM in modern games.
According to reports from Wccftech, the RTX 5070 Ti is expected to feature 16 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, a bump up from the 12 GB found in the RTX 4070 Ti. Additionally, the leaks confirm that the 5070 Ti will utilize the cut-down GB203 chip, with a higher TBP of 350 W. The new memory setup is said to operate on a 256-bit memory bus at 28 Gbps, resulting in a total memory bandwidth of 896 GB/s, a significant improvement over the RTX 4070 Ti.
Rumors also suggest that the RTX 5070 Ti will boast an increase in total CUDA cores, going from 8448 in the RTX 4070 Ti to 8960 in the RTX 5070 Ti. The new GPU will switch to a 12V-2x6 power connector, replacing the 16-pin connector used in the 4070 Ti.
NVIDIA is expected to unveil the RTX 5000 series graphics cards at CES 2025 in early January, with the RTX 5070 Ti rumored to be the third card in the launch cycle. While details may be revealed at CES, the exact pricing remains unknown.
