Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070?

At 1440p (Ultra, DLSS Quality), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 averages 204 fps in Cyberpunk 2077, per BabelTechReviews. For local LLM inference it generates 127.5 tokens/sec running llama2:7b at q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 41,611 points, per WorthPlaying. Its 12 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 8-13B-parameter models at Q4_K_M.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
