The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is Reportedly Getting 16GB GDDR7 VRAM, About 77% Higher Bandwidth Than RTX 4070 Ti

The RTX 5070 Ti is reportedly a confirmed SKU in the NVIDIA RTX 50 series Blackwell lineup and as per the latest leak, it is getting 16GB of VRAM, a 256-bit memory bus, and a TBP increase over the predecessor.

NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti rumored to utilize the GB203-300 GPU die, confirming 16GB GDDR7 VRAM capacity

NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series catalog will include several SKUs in the first batch, including the 90, 80, and 70 class GPUs. For the 70-class, NVIDIA has both the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti but as per the rumors, the RTX 5070 Ti will be the first to launch, possibly at the same time as the RTX 5090 and 5080 but could also launch a month later.

As rumored, the RTX 5070 Ti is reportedly coming with the GB203 die, which is also used in the GeForce RTX 5080, reports WCCFTech. Plus, the website has revealed some more specifications today, including the memory bus, memory speed, and the TDP. The RTX 5070 Ti is equipped with the PG147 SKU SKU tag and will have the GB203-300 GPU at its core.

It will be a cut-down GB203 chip, which is used at its full configuration in the RTX 5080. This looks better than the previous generation RTX 4070 Ti, which came with the ‘xx4’-class die and hence, was limited to just 12GB of VRAM. Not only does the RTX 5070 Ti have a better die but will also have 16GB of VRAM on a 256-bit bus, which is wider than the 192-bit bus on the RTX 4070 Ti. Since the RAM type is also upgraded to GDDR7 compared to GDDR6X on the RTX 4070 Ti, the total memory bandwidth on the 5070 Ti has increased to 896 GB/s compared to just 504GB/s on the predecessor.

This is a solid 77% higher memory bandwidth than the latter. NVIDIA did release a faster Refresh of the RTX 4070 Ti later i.e., the RTX 4070 Ti Super, equipped with AD103 die, which is also used on the RTX 4080. This allowed the Super edition to reach 16GB of VRAM size on a 256-bit bus and a higher memory bandwidth of 672GB/s. Still, the RTX 5070 Ti is 33% ahead of the 4070 Ti Super and should provide a good boost in performance.

Another reported change is in its power consumption. The TBP of the RTX 5070 Ti is reportedly at 350W, which is a 65W jump over the 4070 Ti and 4070 Ti Super. This is totally possible since both RTX 5090 and 5080 are reported to have higher power consumption than their predecessors.

More specifications are needed to calculate its theoretical performance and if the rumors are true, then it could come with 8960 Cuda Cores compared to 7680 on RTX 4070 Ti and 8448 on the Super iteration. We don’t yet know the exact date of launch for the RTX 5070 Ti but we will know more about it at the CES 2025, which NVIDIA has already started preparation on by starting its GeForce Greats program.
