Geeknetic

Excellent performance with DLSS 4 at 4k resolutions.
Compact format, compatible with many small form factor PCs.
Amazing overclocking capability, reaching up to 3200MHz.
He loses 30% of performance but we save almost 50% compared to the RTX 5090.

1300 euros is undoubtedly a high price for the average player.

Multiplayer.it

When you have access to DLSS 4 and multi-image generation, performance reaches incredible levels.
Excellent temperatures and appropriate consumption
Excellent design of the card with compact dimensions.

The internal competition of the 5070 Ti still needs to be evaluated.
Its greatest potential depends on the actions of developers.
We all would have hoped for a more substantial leap forward in the ranking.

GameStar

much better value for money than its predecessor
High grid power, more than enough to play in 4K.
something more efficient than its predecessor
even at full load relatively quiet
DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation for very high frame rates

However, not advantageous
but not necessarily the biggest leap in terms of performance
