Verdict
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti wins in 10 out of 10 games
At CheckFPS we measured both cards across 10 popular games at 1080p, 1440p and 4K on a reference CPU. The RTX 5070 Ti comes out ahead by around 13% more FPS on average, and that lead holds up as resolution climbs. That's why we recommend it as the most balanced option for gaming; still, if the price gap is wide, the other card remains a sensible buy.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions when comparing the RTX 5070 Ti with the RTX 5070.
Which is better, the RTX 5070 Ti or the RTX 5070?
On average at 1080p, the RTX 5070 Ti is 13% faster than the RTX 5070. The best one for you depends on your resolution, budget and whether you prioritise ray tracing or price.
Which is better at 4K?
At 4K Ultra, the RTX 5070 Ti averages 57 FPS and the RTX 5070 47 FPS across the most popular games. For smooth 4K, enabling upscaling (DLSS/FSR) helps on both.
Is it worth paying more for the faster one?
At 1080p or 1440p the FPS gap may not justify the extra cost; at 4K or with ray tracing the faster card matters more. Check the by-resolution table to decide.
Which has better ray tracing and upscaling?
AI upscaling (DLSS on NVIDIA, FSR on AMD, XeSS on Intel) raises FPS on both; for ray tracing, GeForce RTX cards usually lead. See each card’s support above.
How big is the FPS difference between them?
On average across top games, the gap is around 13% at 1080p. At higher resolutions (1440p and 4K) the relative difference usually stays similar.
5070 Ti vs 5070: what's the real difference?
In performance, the RTX 5070 Ti beats the RTX 5070 by around 13% more FPS on average at 1080p — the gap shifts a bit by resolution, as shown in the table above. If you're torn between the 5070 Ti and the 5070 on price, the price and $/FPS section above can help you decide.
