NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti has 16 GB VRAM and 896 GB/s memory bandwidth. It can run 40 of our 70 tracked models natively in VRAM at 8k context.
With 16 GB GDDR7, the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti is a consumer-tier GPU that can run 40 models natively. It handles 30B-class models at Q4 quantization.
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti shares the same 16GB GDDR7 capacity as the 5080 but on slightly slower 28 Gbps memory (896 GB/s). With 8,960 CUDA cores and a 300W TDP, it hits a compelling price-to-performance point for 1440p gaming and can run 7B–14B LLMs entirely in VRAM.
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti is a consumer-grade NVIDIA GPU based on the Blackwell architecture. Released in 2025. It features 16 GB of GDDR7 at 896 GB/s memory bandwidth. Full llama.cpp and Ollama support out of the box. CUDA 12.x recommended; driver ≥ 525 required.
For local LLM inference, this GPU runs 40 of the 70 models we track natively in VRAM at 8K context. The largest model it handles in VRAM is Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B (MoE) (998.6 t/s at Q2_K). It handles smaller models up to ~7-14B at reasonable precision, with some 27-32B models fitting at lower quantization. On Qwen 3.6 27B, it achieves approximately 77.2 tokens per second at Q3_K_M quantization. An additional 9 models fit with CPU offload — slower but usable.
NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem provides broad out-of-the-box support across llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM, and TensorRT-LLM. Among consumer GPUs, it sits above AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and NVIDIA RTX 4080 in performance, but below NVIDIA RTX 5080.
