| 3DMark Time Spy | 16800 | 20100 |
Between the GeForce RTX 5070 and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, the GeForce RTX 5070 comes out ahead in tdp / boost clock, while the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti wins on cuda / stream cores / ray tracing cores. Overall, the GeForce RTX 5070 scores 63.9 and the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti scores 68.1 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti edges ahead on the Mars Score (63.9 vs 68.1), but the 4.2-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5070 if you care most about tdp / boost clock. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp, boost clock. The single most decisive one: TDP — 50.00 W less. 250 vs 300.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are cuda / stream cores, ray tracing cores, vram, among others. The single most decisive one: CUDA / Stream cores — 45.83% more. 8960 vs 6144.
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 5070 or NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 Ti?
NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5070 Ti leads the current Mars Score by 4.2 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.
