For users expecting the new NVIDIA RTX 5000 series to have lower power consumption requirements than the RTX 4000, it looks like they will be disappointed. After the 600W official TDP for the RTX 5090, a recent leak by Kopite7kimi claims that the RTX 5070 Ti will consume more than the RTX 4070 Ti, with its TDP reaching 300W, 15W higher than the 4070 Ti’s TDP. The rest of the RTX 5070 Ti features include 8,960 CUDA cores since it will use the same GB203 die as the RTX 5080 (this one has 10752 cores). While the RTX 4070 Ti and the RTX 4080 used different GPUs (AD104 and AD103, respectively), their successors have the same to lower the production cost. The 16% more CURA cores will bring a performance advantage over the RTX 4070 Ti, but this model also has a super variant. The RAM will likely be at 16GB with a 256-bit interface, while the RTX 5080 will have 24GB.
NVIDIA will introduce its Blackwell gaming graphics cards at CES 2025, which is one reason that the Hardware Busters will attend the show. As a reminder, AMD will also release its processors and graphics cards during CES 2025.
It’s only rtx 5070 and 5080 by name.
The SM/CUDA count is the actual metric which exposes that scam and stupidly overpriced products:
– The so called rtx 5070 is in fact a rtx 5050 Ti (rtx 5050 Ti GPU. BW205) Around 25 % SM/CUDA count of the full BW102 GPU (24300 cores).
– The so called rtx 5080 is in fact a rtx 5060 (rtx 5060 GPU. BW204). 43% SM/CUDA count of the full BW102 GPU (24300 cores)
– rtx 5090 is also in fact a rtx 5080 Ti: BW102, o nly 21500 SM/CUDA count of the full 24300 cores GPU.
This generation is even more milking than the rtx 4000 series.
These criminals literally selling a rtx 5060 in a rtx 5080 box, for $ 1200 msrp, and > $ 700 msrp for a disguised rtx 5050 Ti.
And they know they can do it and people will buy, because their is no competition.
It’s a farce. AMD execs are doing the same for years.
An illegal, collusive Stackelberg duopoly.
Amen.
