Do Not Buy: NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti GPU Absurdity (Benchmarks & Review)

This review of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card benchmarks the performance of the new GPU, particularly with the 5070 Ti vs. the 5080, 4080 Super, 4070 Ti Super, AMD RX 7900 XTX, and similar cards. Benchmarking includes gaming performance tests of the best video cards in 2025, some revisits of older cards like the RTX 3070 and GTX 1070, and power consumption and efficiency tests. The GPU market is in an era of absurdity now, reminiscent of 2020. Price means nothing.

For sentences like "you shouldn't really even watch this video" i love GN, no bullshitting to keep viewers somehow watching a review thats completly pointless.

[gersonalexanderlaraburgos]

I had a 4070 super at $560 in the cart last Black Friday...I told myself "nah, Im gonna wait for the 5000". Pain.

[benjamintadaii]

Steve: "Honestly, you shouldn't even watch this video."
Me: *switches to another tab*
Steve: "You'll miss the memes that we've packed into all the charts. ."
Me: "Hold up" *switches back*

Ok 1060, you need to stay alive for a little bit longer.

[ulrejaz]

My 1080ti: Boss, can I finally retire?
Me: No my friend, I'm afraid your service is still required.

[Welshmanshots]

my 2070 mini non super: these games are too intense, it gets hot in here
me: i know buddy but your just gonna have wait a bit longer.

[deadbatt]

Nvidia is so generous to 4080 users. By making it lose no value since they just keep re-releasing it.
The 4080 is now 150% the price it was on release. Amazing value.

There's a reason why Leather Jacket Man said, “$10, 000 gaming command center” at the 50-series reveal...

[BrynMW]

GN removed my GPU from the chart, guess I have to upgrade now. Thanks, Steve.

[YourSpaceMyFace]

Steve I love you and J2C. You GENUINELY care about the consumer. The channel is called GAMERSNEXUS and you live to that. TY for your brutal honesty, it's thoroughly refreshing my friend. Love from the UK my man.

[Bitwit]

That HOA joke got my heart racing more than this launch

[drakelangham]

A current gen 70Ti-class card that can't beat last generations 80-class card.

What a time to be alive!

[coot]

"You shouldn't really even watch this video"

Oh yeah Steve? Can't tell me what to do, I'm gonna sit here and watch it all.

[FrankValchiria]

here in the netherlands the cheapest rtx 5070 ti is selling for 1400 euros. effing insane

[nipa]

Don't forget: The 5070 will offer 4090 performance!

[lrmcatspaw]

my 1080 went from "hehe, im in danger" to "Not yet old man" real quick.

[nick_pappagiorgio]

I wish the AI company with a GPU side business was still a GPU company.

[Ambeastly]

Gonna just ride my 3060TI until the wheels falls off and hopefully untilll the market changes

[fishstick]

Well, the good news is the disappointment t-shirt is gonna be another banger this year
