ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 PRIME 12GB GDDR7
The 5nm Blackwell chip and 12GB of GDDR7 memory deliver strong 1440p ray tracing performance, bolstered by DLSS 4 and a 2587 MHz boost clock in OC mode. Its SFF-Ready 2.5-slot design and triple Axial-Tech fans with a phase-change thermal pad provide effective cooling in a compact, white build. This card is best for 1440p gamers and content creators who need AV1 encoding in a smaller form factor.
