Hello, I hope some of you can help clarify this situation as I'm dealing with a few recent updates about RTX 5070 pricing and performance. Although it may still be early to make a definitive decision until we see more comparisons and reviews, perhaps some of you already have insights?
I own the RTX GeForce 4070 TI, which was included in a pre-built PC purchased a couple of years ago. Here are the complete specifications:
- Intel Core i7 13th Gen 13700KF (3.40GHz) / 32GB DDR5 / 2 TB PCIe SSD / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti / Windows 11 Pro 64-bit
- Current Storage: 2 TB M.2 NVMe SSD + 3 TB HDD
- PC: Chip: Intel Core i7 13th Gen 13700KF (3.40GHz)
- RAM: 4x8 GB = 32GB DDR5 – ADATA XPG GAMMIX D10 32GB DDR5 4800Mhz CL40 1.1V AX5U4800C408G-BB10
- Motherboard: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI -

I play competitive shooters and single-player games, so I don’t think upgrading is necessary just yet—most titles run smoothly at the highest settings with my 4070 TI. However, I sometimes skip the highest settings even though it’s possible.
Thus, I’m wondering: does upgrading to an RTX 5070 (non-TI) bring any real advantage in graphics performance or overall gaming experience for single-player titles and competitive shooters like Counter-Strike 2? Wouldn’t there be a noticeable difference, or would it really not matter much?
I’m also uncertain if the VODs I saw suggest a clear edge for the 5070 over the 4070 Ti. I’d appreciate your thoughts on whether it’s worth keeping the 4070 TI or considering a non-TI RTX 5070 instead.
Looking forward to your advice!
Initially that link lacks any benchmarking figures. I’d wait for more reviews to appear, as it’s common for brands to rely on selected data points to present their products favorably to consumers.
Additionally, from a generational perspective, if you were using an RTX2000 series, I’d recommend moving up to the RTX5000 line. A simple jump from RTX4070Ti to RTX5070 wouldn’t make much difference.
Stay patient and let the information flow gradually so you can make a well-considered decision.
Don't stress about this right now, keep an eye on benchmarks. The RTX 5 series is set to fully utilize DLSS, and with DLSS 4 support in titles, it could reach speeds comparable to or exceeding 4090. Regarding CS2, will it gain DLSS 4 capabilities? That's the question—yes, it seems so. Without DLSS, we'll need to see how the 5070 performs when tested without it.

The major update with the RTX 5000 series includes multi-frame generation in DLSS 4, but detailed assessments of its visual and performance benefits are still pending. Even with improved smoothness without ghosting, concerns remain about latency impacts, particularly for FPS games. Reflex 2 could address some latency problems, but I wouldn't upgrade until reviews are thoroughly evaluated and FPS performance is closely monitored. The review hold ends on January 24th, so you won't have to wait much longer.
It looks like the cards have been released, but after checking some VODs I'm still uncertain if it's worth keeping my 4070 TI or switching to an RTX 5080, RTX 5080 TI, or if the difference isn't that big. Probably shouldn't worry about it right now...
Based on the reviews of the higher-end 50 series cards, they appear to be only slightly better than the 40 series versions. Remember that the 4070 ti, despite being older, is considered a higher tier than the non-ti card. Therefore, a 4070ti is probably about the same as the 5070 non-ti.
Maybe quicker memory if you're in competitive scenarios could improve your results?
5070TI performs better than the 4070TI (verified). The concern is whether the price is justified and if a unit is available for purchase.
Now that I've reviewed many opinions, it seems this 5070, 5070 TI, 5080 series and similar models were a disappointment for gamers aiming to make a big jump from 4070, 4070TI, 4080, 4090 unless they opt for the RTX 5090 or something similar. Even then, it would likely be a waste unless the buyer isn't concerned about cost or has other motivations beyond gaming.
Upgrading from my 4070TI wouldn't be worth the investment, even if I could sell it and buy a new one. Honestly, it doesn’t matter much, and I won’t bother with it.
Upgrading might still make sense for those with lower-end RTX cards like the RTX 2070 or 3070, but for users with later models such as 4070-4070TI, 4080, or 4090, there’s no real benefit.
I’ll just keep waiting to see if a new generation of 6050s, 6070s, 6080s, or 6090s comes out and decide if it’s worth upgrading.
