Core Count, GPU Chip, VRAM, and TGP Exposed

NVIDIA’s next-generation GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 graphics cards have once again been highlighted by the well-known leaker, Kopite7kimi. If you’ve been following the buzz, you’ve probably heard about these exciting new additions to the Blackwell RTX 50 series, which are set to make their grand debut at CES. Rumors and leaks have been swirling for a few weeks now, and we’re getting a clearer picture of what to expect from these GPUs.

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and the RTX 5070 are poised to be top contenders in the upper mid-range category. Kopite7Kimi, who has been a reliable source for GPU leaks, shared some enticing details about both models. The information outlines key aspects such as the board, GPU die, Cuda Cores, VRAM, and Total Board Power (TBP).

According to the leaks, the RTX 5070 will follow a similar memory setup to the RTX 4070, albeit with a new type of memory. In contrast, the RTX 5070 Ti is getting a power boost with the GB203 GPU, offering 16GB of VRAM right out of the gate.

Kopite7kimi provided a snapshot confirming several points:

• SKU Name: GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
• Board: PG147-SKU60
• GPU: GB203-300-A1
• Cuda Cores: 8960
• VRAM: 16 GB GDDR7 256-bit
• TBP: 300W

What’s particularly interesting is how the memory setup aligns with earlier rumors. The 16GB GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus had been speculated for a while, and it appears to hold true. The reduced TBP is a pleasant surprise, coming in at 50W lower than expected, just 15W more than the RTX 4070 Ti.

For the GeForce RTX 5070, the specs listed are as follows:

• SKU Name: GeForce RTX 5070
• Board: PG146-SKU70
• GPU: GB205-300-A1
• Cuda Cores: 6144
• VRAM: 12 GB GDDR7 192-bit
• TBP: 250W

This model sticks with the GB205-300-A1 die as had been anticipated. Maintaining the same VRAM as the RTX 4070, the RTX 5070 features GDDR7 memory on the same bus. Its Cuda Core count sees a slight drop, which was initially assumed to be around 6400 but now sits at 6144.

While none of these details have been officially confirmed by NVIDIA yet, the consistency of Kopite7kimi’s leaks with other sources gives them a credible edge. Expect both the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 to hit the market in early 2025, right after NVIDIA rolls out the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 models. Pricing remains under wraps, though it seems unlikely that NVIDIA will drop the price compared to their predecessors.

Stay tuned as we approach the official launch, and keep an eye out for these exciting graphics cards that could set new standards in the gaming and graphics design world.
