Insider Kopite7kimi shared updates on the RTX 5070 Ti, while other sources provided insight into the timeline for the Blackwell series GPUs.

RTX 5070 Ti Specifications:
The RTX 5070 Ti, reportedly under development, is expected to feature:

  • CUDA Cores: 8960, equivalent to 70 streaming multiprocessors.
  • GPU Chip: Likely to use the GB203 processor, potentially a cut-down version.
  • Power Consumption: 300W, 50W higher than the RTX 5070 and 100W lower than the RTX 5080. It's unclear if this value represents TGP (Total Graphics Power) or TDP (Thermal Design Power).
  • Memory: 16GB GDDR7, according to Benchlife.
    The card, internally referred to as PG147 and SKU 60, is expected to share the same board design as the RTX 5080.
RTX 5070 Specifications:
The RTX 5070 is rumored to feature:

  • CUDA Cores: 6400, utilizing the GB205 processor.
  • Power Consumption: 250W TDP.
  • Memory: 12GB GDDR7.
Tentative Release Timeline:
The following release schedule for the RTX 50xx series was shared by Benchlife:

  • GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5090 D: Q1 2025
  • GeForce RTX 5080: Q1 2025
  • GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: Q1 2025
  • GeForce RTX 5070: Q1 2025
  • GeForce RTX 5060 Ti: Date TBA
  • GeForce RTX 5060: Expected by March or April 2025
Notable Observations:

  • The RTX 5080 D, typically aimed at the Chinese market, is missing from the Q1 2025 lineup, suggesting it may not launch in the first half of the year.
  • The RTX 5060 has no confirmed release date, though it is speculated to arrive by April 2025. NVIDIA has yet to distribute desktop versions of this GPU to its partners.
What to Expect:
While NVIDIA has a history of altering specs before release (as seen with the rebranded RTX 4080 12GB, which became the RTX 4070 Ti), these leaks give a glimpse of what’s to come. The RTX 5070 Ti, for instance, is positioned to bridge the gap between mid-range and high-end GPUs with significant upgrades in performance and memory.

Conclusion:
With multiple releases planned for Q1 2025, NVIDIA's RTX 50xx series aims to push graphical performance to new heights. However, as these specifications are unofficial and subject to change, gamers and PC enthusiasts will need to wait for CES 2025 for confirmation.
