According to a usually well-informed source, Nvidia has already started working on its RTX 5070 Ti. The chip would include 8960 CUDA cores… at the cost of an increased thermal envelope.
The RTX 5000 “Blackwell” are not yet official, but their “Ti” versions, normally expected later, are already starting to make headlines. This week, it is in this case the RTX 5070 Ti which is partially revealed and well before its time. Often well informed, leaker “Kopite7kimi” estimates that the card will bring together an impressive total of 8960 CUDA cores.
We would therefore find 70 streaming multiprocessors, which suggests that the latter would be based on a GB203 GPU chip (which we should find on the future RTX 5080), but probably without part of its initial technical specifications. .
An energy-intensive card?
Still according to the same informant, the RTX 5070 Ti would have a TGP (or TDP, the question obviously still remains unanswered) of 300 W. This is 50 W more than what we expect on the future RTX 5070 …. but 100 W less than the presumed thermal envelope of the RTX 5080.
For comparison, the current RTX 4070 Ti SUPER goes up to 285 W, compared to 220 W for the “non-Ti” RTX 4070 SUPER. Nvidia would therefore take a step forward in terms of thermal envelope and consumption.
Note that this first information only gives us very partial information about the RTX 5070 Ti. We do not know, for example, what frequencies will be applied to its GPU, and especially what its characteristics will be in terms of video memory… two pieces of data which will have a huge influence on the final potential of the card.
Kopite7kimi explains that he has so far obtained contradictory information, which he therefore prefers to keep to himself. According to VideoCardz, the clues given by Nvidia suggest that the firm would still hesitate to launch its RTX 5070 Ti in place of the “classic” RTX 5070 at the next CES. The thing would, however, be quite incongruous.
