SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G Shadow 2X OC using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to our editorial and benchmark analysis across the graphics cards category. MSI's graphics cards lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for graphics cards of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Which local LLMs fit in 12 GB?

12 GB holds models up to about 14B at Q4 with a usable context window; above that band the weights spill to system RAM and system-RAM bandwidth sets the speed, not the GPU.

✅ 7–9B models (Llama 3.1 8B, Qwen 3 8B) — fits at Q4
✅ 12–14B models (Qwen 3 14B, Phi-4) — fits at Q4
❌ 20–27B models (Gemma 3 27B, Mistral Small) — needs 20 GB+
❌ 30–35B models (Qwen 3 32B, QwQ 32B) — needs 24 GB+
❌ 70B models (Llama 3.3 70B, Qwen 2.5 72B) — needs 48 GB+

Across 7 community runs from 6 sources, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 generates a median 59.1 tok/s on 7–9B models at Q4 (per LocalScore).
