PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Overclocked Triple Fan GPU Review

PC users know that they can do better at 4k/120Hz than the typical gaming console, but at what price? A $650 console that claims the capability is really just upscaling 1080p or 1440p, after all, so we decided to see if we could push a “reasonably priced” PC to full 4K/120Hz glory without relying on those tricks. As for the graphics portion of that imagined restraint, PNY’s $940 RTX 5070 Ti Overclocked Triple Fan helps us maintain a budget that’s only four times the price of those lowly consoles.

Inside the box we found a triple 8-pin PCIe to 12V-2×6 adapter that’s perfect for letting us keep our legacy power supply while we finish considering all of our options for replacement: PNY’s adapter requires all three inputs be powered, but that won’t be a problem for anyone who’s using a modern ATX 3.1 power unit.

PNY’s GPU cooler uses counter-rotating fans (only the center fan spins clockwise) to improve its flow-to-noise ratio, but we were more surprised to find that the PNY logos are affixed to the fan’s frame rather than its blades as it would mean that the spindle is stationary.

Outputs include three DisplayPort and one HDMI.

An aluminum brace that covers the back of the card is screen-printed with the PNY logo, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti moniker and a further-stylized form of an infinity symbol. As the assembly’s circuit board ends just past the cooler’s mid-point, that’s also where PNY placed its 12V-2×6 connector.

Nvidia doesn’t leave much room for overclocking at stock voltage, but PNY was a least able to give its version of the card a 4.89% boost increase (from 2452 MHz to 2572 MHz): That’s over eight times the paltry 0.6% increase claimed by Gigabyte’s 5060 OC.

In fact, we’d love for you to compare the specs of PNY’s RTX 5070 Ti to the 4070 Ti it replaces: We’ve stuck all our other compared cards in the space between, where they’ll help us access or minimum requirements as well as our best-value picks.

PNY RTX5070Ti 16GB TRPLFAN OC Benchmark Results

Furmark shows the 5070 Ti barely outpacing the 4070 Ti (5.6%) at 1920×1080, but the gain is far more pronounced (21.8%) at 3840×2160. We’ve heard that much of that difference is due to the need of some programs for 16GB of local memory to properly run 4k.

The old 3DMark Time Spy test was fairly good test for midrange cards when introduced a decade ago, but its relavence now is merely numeric: It shows that the 5070 Ti is 22.5% better than the 4070 Ti. Speedway is a little more relevant as the card’s 7831 score relates to a 78.31 average FPS.

Almost entirely GPU constrained when used on a modern system, SuperPosition benchmark shows optimized 4K results as less GPU-intense than 1080p Extreme. Moreover, that 1080p Extreme setting is as far as we can push the card if we’re to maintain an average FPS of 120, where as the 4070 Ti couldn’t even get past 100 FPS in this test.

As we peer into real game performance, we see the 5070 Ti averaging 127 FPS where the 4070 Ti couldn’t even reach 100. As lesser cards struggled to get close to the old 60 FPS standard, users of those models could be forced to choose between lowering their resolution or lowering their detail levels.

Cyberpunk 2077 enables GPU scaling whenever you choose a preset level, so that testing at native resolution requires manually disabling it whenever we toggle between Medium and Ultra quality. Native FPS shows why the game is pushing us to take it easy on our hardware, as the 5070 Ti’s native resolution settings couldn’t average 120 FPS even at Medium detail. And the others? The runner-up 4070 Ti only got to 67 FPS, so that PC users are stuck using the same tricks as consoles deploy just to fake 4k at 120Hz.

On the other hand, if you like Shado Of The Tomb Raider, you can easily use 4k at 120Hz with the 5070 Ti, and nothing less.

So the RTX 5070 Ti consumed much less power at idle than the other cards? Well, it also consumed much more power under load, to the point that the average between these two is higher than all the other cards.

Those high wattage readings certainly weren’t due to any overheating, as the 5070 Ti ran cooler than the 4070 Ti in Furmark, which is about the toughest test we can throw at it. Note that we do our thermal tests at full component fan speed: This is the first time we heard the card over our test system’s fans.

Since we started this series of reviews with the Red Devil RX 6750 XT, it becomes the baseline for comparing performance gained. The RTX 5070 Ti is 53% to 100% faster, while the 4070 Ti was only 36% to 54% faster than the older Radeon.

PNY’s RTX 5070 Ti performed so well that it even produced 71% more frames per watt than the RX 6750 XT!

The one problem of using our oldest card for reference numbers is that its price quit falling a couple years ago. The value penalty normally associated with high-end hardware is only pronounced when we compare it to the RTX 5060 which, despite its relatively low raw frame rate, produces roughly 50% more frames for every dollar spent.

We all understand that the RTX 5060 only got the high value score by producing roughly 60% the performance for roughly 40% the price, and that it will never be a true 4K/120Hz solution. For that you’ll need the 5070 Ti. And even then, you’ll have to resort to the same tricks as game consoles use to get those settings to work under Cyberpunk 2077.

PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Overclocked Triple Fan GPU (VCG5070T16TFXPB1-O)
Pros	Cons
Native 4k/120Hz and high settings in most games	Still can’t do 4k/120Hz in Cyberpunk 2077 Most users can’t afford a $1000 card.
The Verdict
PNY’s version of the RTX 5070 Ti does not disappoint, but paying nearly a grand for a Tier 3 (behind 5090 and 5080) card is a tough task for builders.
