ASUS ROG-STRIX-RTX5070TI-O16G-GAMING

The ROG Strix RTX 5070 Ti OC posts a PassMark G3D score of 32,462, landing in the 89th percentile for raster and 93rd for ray tracing. Cooling is a standout at the 92nd percentile, and owners rave about quiet operation and 1440p performance. Just make sure you have a big case and an 850W PSU, and don't overpay: USD prices range from $1,104 to $2,316.

Let's talk numbers. The 32,462 PassMark G3D score puts this card in the 89th percentile for raster performance, which means it's faster than the vast majority of GPUs in our database. Ray tracing is even better at the 93rd percentile, and compute lands at the 93rd too. That's a serious showing for a card that isn't even the flagship. The 16GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus delivers 896 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which sits at the 85th percentile for VRAM. For 1440p gaming, this thing absolutely shreds. Multiple owners report it rivals the RTX 5080 in some benchmarks, and a few say it matches RTX 4080 performance while adding DLSS 4 and newer architecture.

The boost clock of 2,625MHz in OC mode is a nice bump over the 2,602MHz default, and ASUS's GPU Tweak III software makes overclocking straightforward. The 1492 AI TOPS figure is impressive on paper, though our AI percentile ranking of 81st shows it's good but not class-leading. The 300W TDP is reasonable for this performance tier, but efficiency only lands at the 69th percentile, so you're trading some power draw for that speed. The triple-fan Axial-tech setup keeps things under control, with thermals in the 92nd percentile. That's the story here: raw performance with cooling to match.

Against the Gigabyte AERO GV-N5080AERO OC-16GD and ZOTAC APOCALYPSE ZT-B50800C-10P, both RTX 5080 cards, the ROG Strix 5070 Ti OC holds its own surprisingly well. Our data shows it rivals the 5080 in some benchmarks, and at the low end of its price range it's significantly cheaper. The MSI Ventus RTX 5070 Ti 16G VENTUS 3X PZ OC is the more direct competitor, and while it may come in at a lower price, the ROG Strix wins on cooling and build quality with its 92nd percentile thermals and premium construction. The PNY ARGB OC VCG508016TFXXPB1-O is another 5080 alternative, but you're paying more for marginal gains. The Sapphire NITRO+ 11322-01-40G is an AMD option that can't match the ray tracing performance here, which sits at the 93rd percentile. If you want DLSS 4 and strong RT without jumping to a 5080, this card is the sweet spot.

Here's where things get interesting. The USD price spread across 12 listings is wild: $1,104 on the low end and $2,316 on the high end. That's a $1,212 difference for the same card, which is frankly absurd. If you're shopping in the US, the $1,104 listing is the one to hunt down. In Canada, the spread is even worse, ranging from CAD 1,600 to CAD 5,000 across 5 listings. That CAD 3,400 gap means you absolutely need to shop around before pulling the trigger. European buyers see EUR 2,211 to EUR 2,663, which is at least more consistent. The card's performance-to-price ratio is strong when you find it near the low end, but at the high end you're paying RTX 5080 money for RTX 5070 Ti performance. Owners echo this: value for money is a mixed theme in our review data, with about 8 mentions split between praise and frustration.

The ASUS ROG Strix RTX 5070 Ti OC posts a PassMark G3D score of 32,462, which puts it in the top tier of our database for raster performance. That's backed by 8,960 CUDA cores, 16GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, and a boost clock of 2,625MHz in OC mode. On paper, this is a card that punches well above its weight class, and our percentile data agrees: raster sits at the 89th percentile, ray tracing at the 93rd, and compute at the 93rd. The only real soft spot is AI LLM work, which lands at a 79.5 out of 100, still respectable but not the reason you'd buy this thing.

What stands out most is the cooling. ASUS went all-in with a 3.2-slot design, a massive fin array, three Axial-tech fans, a vapor chamber, and a phase-change thermal pad. The result is thermal performance in the 92nd percentile, which means this card stays cool and quiet under load. Owners agree: cooling and quiet operation are the most repeated positives in our review data. The trade-off is size. At 332mm long and 3.2 slots thick, this is a chunky card that won't fit in every case, and several buyers mention it needs a beefy 850W PSU to stay happy.

Skip this card if you have a smaller case or a power supply under 850W. The 332mm length and 3.2-slot thickness rule out most compact builds, and the 300W TDP means you'll likely need a PSU upgrade. If you're doing serious AI or LLM work, the 79.5 out of 100 AI score is the weakest area here, so a card with more VRAM or better AI acceleration might serve you better. And if you can't find it near the $1,104 USD low end, the value proposition falls apart fast. At $2,316 USD or CAD 5,000, you're paying RTX 5080 money for RTX 5070 Ti performance, and that's a bad deal no matter how good the cooling is.

The ASUS ROG Strix RTX 5070 Ti OC is a genuinely impressive card. A PassMark G3D score of 32,462 with ray tracing and compute in the 93rd percentile means it delivers near-flagship performance without the flagship price, assuming you find it at the low end of that $1,104 to $2,316 USD range. The cooling is exceptional, the build quality is premium, and owners consistently praise the 1440p performance and quiet operation. The downsides are real: it's big, it's power-hungry, and the efficiency only hits the 69th percentile. But if you have the case space and an 850W PSU, this is one of the best values in the current GPU market. Our data backs that up with a 4.7 out of 5 rating across 745 reviews.
