According to insights from Benchlife, both the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 are slated to hit the market shortly after their more powerful siblings, the 5090 and 5080. This timing aligns perfectly with CES, making it an ideal platform for NVIDIA to unveil these flagship GPUs to the gaming community.
In a strategic move, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 may make their appearance in February 2025, just a month after the flagship cards. Initially, the expectation was that only the RTX 5070 would launch in Q1, but updated information now indicates that the 5070 Ti will join the fray, marking a significant quarter of releases for NVIDIA.
Looking beyond these initial offerings, May 2025 might see the release of the 60-class GPUs, including the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060. Although concrete details remain sparse, this subsequent launch phase could provide more insight into specs and capabilities for these anticipated cards.
Focusing on specifics, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti emerges as a standout in the new lineup, boasting 8960 Cuda Cores, 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, and a Total Graphics Power (TGP) of 300W. Interestingly, one of NVIDIA’s partners believes the TGP could be as high as 350W. Meanwhile, the RTX 5070 appears to offer 6400 Cuda Cores, a 250W TGP, and 12 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, holding its own in the series.
On the other hand, details about the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 remain under wraps. However, we are keeping a close watch on developments and will update with confirmed reports as they surface.
