Specs rumours for the Tremendous variations of Nvidia's RTX 5070 playing cards kick off with extra VRAM being the principle dish of the day
Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti graphics playing cards have solely been in the marketplace for a handful of months, although the dearth of provide firstly most likely makes it really feel prefer it’s been far longer than that. However despite the fact that they’re nonetheless comparatively new fashions, rumours concerning the specs for his or her Tremendous variants have already began to seem, and in the event that they’re correct, then you definitely’re principally going to be taking a look at extra video reminiscence.
That is in keeping with prolific leaker Kopite7kimi on X, who usually has an excellent monitor file of saying early specs which might be bang on the cash. Beginning with the RTX 5070 Tremendous, the principle modifications are twofold: 4% extra shader cores (6,400 vs 6,144) and 50% extra VRAM (18 GB vs 12 GB). Oh, and a 275 W energy restrict, as a substitute of 250 W. Sorry, that is three issues.

The RTX 5070 makes use of a GB205 Blackwell GPU that has two SMs (Streaming Multiprocessors) disabled, so if the Tremendous model goes to have 6,400 CUDA cores, then will probably be an entire die with nothing switched off. If that is the case, it additionally means it should nonetheless have a 192-bit aggregated reminiscence bus width, so how will it have 18 GB of VRAM?
Present RTX 50-series desktop graphics playing cards all use 2 GB modules of GDDR7, and with each being 32 bits huge, an RTX 5070 usually has six reminiscence chips soldered to the PCB. Nevertheless, RTX 5090 laptops use 3 GB modules, and that is how they sport 24 GB in whole. That is the one manner that the RTX 5070 Tremendous will be capable to provide 18 GB of VRAM.
In the intervening time, the likes of Samsung and Micron do not record 3 GB modules of their GDDR7 catalogues, so they are not being produced in huge portions. By the point Nvidia broadcasts the Tremendous variants for its RTX 50 playing cards, manufacturing ought to be of a excessive sufficient degree to make sure a good provide of Supers.
Yeah, I do know. Pigs fly. Cats love canines. All that jazz.

Anyway, Kopite7kimi additionally dropped some specs down for the RTX 5070 Ti Tremendous. It is also presupposed to have 3 GB GDDR7 modules for 50% extra VRAM (24 GB, up from 16 GB), however there aren’t any extra cores on the desk. That is a little bit of a shock as a result of the RTX 5070 Ti is not utilizing a full-fat die; the GB203 GPU beneath the 5070 Ti’s huge cooler is identical as that within the RTX 5080 however with 1,792 CUDA cores (14 SMs) disabled.
Aside from extra VRAM, the RTX 5070 Ti Tremendous is purported to simply have a 50 W bump to the facility restrict, pushing it to 350 W. That means the Tremendous card will arrive with increased clock speeds than the 5070 Ti, and on condition that we have discovered it to be very straightforward to overclock, it is most likely how Nvidia will make the Tremendous stand out. Nevertheless, I am not anticipating to see 20% increased clocks, as Group Inexperienced likes to play issues fairly conservatively.
At face worth, I can not say that I am trying ahead to the arrival of those Tremendous playing cards, if these specs are 100% correct. Positive, getting 50% extra VRAM will maintain the naysayers completely satisfied, however until they are going to be packing a hefty enhance to their clock speeds, the additional reminiscence is not going to be sufficient to make them a greater buy for my part.
Particularly if the RTX 5070 Tremendous and RTX 5070 Ti Tremendous are offered at increased costs than what the 5070/5070 Ti presently promote for. That is as a result of Nvidia’s MSRPs for these fashions are fairly meaningless, as most add-in board distributors slap value tags on which might be notably increased. We’ll simply have to attend and see.
