Reviews By Jacob Ridley published 12 March 2026 0 Comments Join the conversation (Image: © Future) Our Verdict With a high boost clock out of the box, the RTX 5070 Ti is an easy pick. It’s built to a good standard, runs quietly, and, while it gets a little hotter than some, it generally runs comfortably cool.

While you do have to pay over the odds for the PNY RTX 5070 Ti OC, no more so than most high-end Nvidia graphics cards today, and a good deal less than some. It’s a well-equipped card, so let’s put it to the test.The RTX 5070 Ti is the highest tier of graphics card I’d personally consider from the RTX 50 series. A good blend of silicon and memory capacity without a four-figure price tag. It features the same GB203 GPU as the RTX 5080, only with fewer cores: 8,960 to 10,752.Importantly, it offers an equal amount of GDDR7 memory at 16 GB. This is slightly slower memory than its bigger sibling, at 28 Gbps, amounting to a small reduction in overall memory bandwidth. Though this matters only a little.With three reasonably sized fans and a metal backplate that includes thermal pads, this card doesn’t appear to cut corners. Though this card does not use clamshell memory, the thermal pads are placed to match the layout of the VRAM chips on the opposite side, which are, of course, cooled by thermal pads in contact with a beefy heatsink.RTX 5070 Ti OC specs (Image credit: Future)GPU: GB203CUDA cores: 8,960Boost clock: 2,572 MHzMemory: 16 GB GDDR7Memory speed: 28 GbpsMemory bus: 256-bitTGP: 300 WDimensions: 298 x 59 x 120 mmPrice: $1,000/£840At 298 x 59 x 106 mm, this card is quite thick, and PNY has chosen a triple-slot design here to accommodate—despite much larger cards (say, the RTX 5080 Noctua Edition) requiring just two.A triple-fan design, even on my open test bench, I’ve noticed little fan noise from the card, even under load. Those fans deal well with the heat, maintaining temperatures around, if not lower than on average, the 70 °C mark. Comparing those temperatures to other cards tested, it’s on the high side. You can find cards that run cooler by 5–6 °C, such as the Asus TUF RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC. Still, I’m not overly worried about 70 °C for day-to-day operation.The boost clock is a higher-than-average 2,572 MHz, a +122 Hz offset. That’s lower than some we’ve tested, such as the TUF Gaming OC at 2,610 MHz, but counts for an extra frame or two at 4K. Nothing to be sniffed at. As graphics cards often exceed their rated clock speed in action, I measured an average clock speed of 2,847 MHz during Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition. That’s far faster than any other we’ve tested, which, with the exception of the TUF Gaming OC mentioned above, all ran sub-2,600 MHz in the same test. So, there’s a decent amount of headroom on this card.The biggest gaming news, reviews and hardware dealsKeep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.Image 1 of 6(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)Look to the performance charts and the PNY OC often does well versus similar competition. It’s either in the middle of the pack or slightly ahead of it.
