NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 — Benchmarks & Specs

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

SpecPicks median: 93.3 tokens/sec across 4 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 55.9–128 tok/s), from llama.cpp GitHub, knightli.com, hardware-corner.net, LocalScore. At the $856.99 Amazon price of the cheapest linked listing (checked 2026-10-21 12:20 UTC; prices change), that is a SpecPicks Value Index of 108.9 tok/s per $1,000. One of those runs: qwen3:8b at q4_K_M generates 59.1 tokens/sec under llama.cpp, per hardware-corner.net. At 1440p Ultra, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 averages 90 fps in The Last of Us Part I, per TechSpot. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 41,611 points, per WorthPlaying. Its 12 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is Qwen2.5 14B Instruct (14.8B parameters, Q4_K_M), generating 20.8 tokens/sec under llama.cpp, per LocalScore. That run's source does not report a context length; the Will-It-Run matrix sizes each model at its listed quantization with an ~8K context, and by that measure Phi-4 14B at Q4_K_M is the largest that fits in 12 GB.

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; the SpecPicks median is computed here from the runs it names, each a row in the AI table, and the per-$1,000 figure divides it by the dated listing price. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
