NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5060 Ti vs NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070
Where they actually differ
The most decisive specs, ranked by how much they matter — before the full spec table.
| Spec | NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5060 Ti | NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 |
|---|---|---|
| TDP | 180 W | 250 W |
| Memory bus | 128 bit | 192 bit |
| VRAM | 16 GB | 12 GB |
| CUDA / Stream cores | 4608 | 6144 |
| Ray tracing cores | 36 | 48 |
| 3DMark Time Spy | 13200 | 16800 |
Between the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and GeForce RTX 5070, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti comes out ahead in tdp / vram, while the GeForce RTX 5070 wins on memory bus / cuda / stream cores. Overall, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti scores 63.4 and the GeForce RTX 5070 scores 63.9 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (63.4 vs 63.9). The decision is not about overall quality — both clear the bar — it is about which specific trade-offs fit your use.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp, vram, boost clock. The single most decisive one: TDP — 70.00 W less. 180 vs 250.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5070 if you care most about memory bus / cuda / stream cores. Its strongest claims are memory bus, cuda / stream cores, ray tracing cores, among others. The single most decisive one: Memory bus — 50.00% more. 192 bit vs 128 bit.
Both ship with comparable dlss, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity says both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
Which should you buy: NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5060 Ti or NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070?
NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 leads the current Mars Score by 0.5 points.The more useful decision is the trade-off behind that result: compare vram, cuda / stream cores, boost clock, tdp against the way you will actually use the product.
