NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB
Overview
The GeForce RTX 5070 is the flagship use of the GB205 die, with 48 of its 50 SMs enabled: 6,144 Blackwell CUDA cores, 192 fifth-generation Tensor cores, and 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus running at 672 GB/s inside a 250 W board. NVIDIA publishes its whole precision ladder in the RTX Blackwell whitepaper, so the 246.9 TFLOPS of dense FP8 and 493.9 TFLOPS of dense FP4 below are read straight from a vendor table rather than halved out of an AI TOPS headline. It is the cheapest card in the range with a die of its own rather than a cut of a bigger one, and the 31.1 billion transistor GB205 is notably efficient per watt. The 12 GB frame buffer is the honest limitation for AI use, and it is the same capacity the RTX 4070 shipped with two years earlier.
Performance
Peak theoretical throughput by precision type
| Precision | Dense | 2:4 Sparse |
|---|---|---|
FP64 64-bit floating point | 0.5TFLOPS | Structured sparsity is a tensor-core feature; this vector precision has no sparse form |
FP32 32-bit floating point | 31TFLOPS | Structured sparsity is a tensor-core feature; this vector precision has no sparse form |
TF32 TensorFloat-32 | 31TFLOPS | 62TFLOPS |
BF16 Brain Float 16 | 62TFLOPS | 124TFLOPS |
FP16 16-bit floating point | 124TFLOPS | 247TFLOPS |
FP8 8-bit floating point | 247TFLOPS | 494TFLOPS |
FP6 | No verified data available | The part supports 2:4 sparsity, but the vendor publishes no sparse figure for this precision |
FP4 4-bit floating point | 494TFLOPS | 988TFLOPS |
INT8 8-bit integer | 247TOPS | 494TOPS |
Per watt divides the dense figure by the 250 W board power. Where only a sparse figure exists, the cell says so.
