The fourth member of the RTX 50 Series is there, and first reviews of the new GeForce RTX 5070 are available. The RTX 5070 is based on the GB205-300 GPU with 48 SMs (Streaming Multiprocessors) enabled (a full GB205 has 50 SMs). The RTX 5070 is a card for 1440p gaming and offers, depending on the resolution, performances in the range of RTX 4070 SUPER or RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 3090 Ti and is around 20% faster than RTX 4070.
The Blackwell GB205 GPU is the perfect entry point for gamers, content creators, and streamers who want the new features NVIDIA is introducing with the Blackwell GPU architecture. The GB205 GPU is tailored for the performance GPU segment and includes all the architectural changes that are being introduced with the Blackwell GPU architecture.
The full implementation of the GB205 GPU consists of 5 GPCs, 25 TPCs, 50 SMs, and six 32-bit memory controllers (192-bit memory interface). The chip contains a total of 31 billion transistors, 6,400 CUDA Cores, 50 RT Cores, 200 Tensor Cores, 200 Texture Units, and 80 ROPS. The memory subsystem incorporates 6,400 KB L1 Cache, 12,800 KB Register File, and 49,152 KB L2 Cache.
