When it comes to buying any GPU, you’re faced with many decisions regarding brand and model. However, in today’s climate, you’re more than likely to find that it comes down to what’s available on the day you have the opportunity to buy it. This comes with a caveat: what happens if you don’t know what you’re buying and want to ensure you’re choosing the right model? This brings us to today and the INNO3D RTX 5070 Ti X3. This card has a unique opportunity, as NVIDIA doesn’t offer a Founders Edition for this particular GPU. Has INNO done enough to create a compelling option for those wanting to spend $749 on a GPU right now? That’s what we’re going to find out.
INNO3D Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti X3
So, let’s start with what this card is all about. It’s an X3, INNO’s way of offering an alternative to the Founders Edition and other MSRP-based cards. However, I know that doesn’t account for much in this day and age, as many 5070 Tis, along with other 50 series cards, are retailing for above MSRP, which, in this case, should be $749.

- CUDA Cores: 8960
- Boost Clock: ~2482MHz
- Memory Interface: 256-bit
- Power: 300W TDP, 750W min PSU
- Connectors: 1x 12V-2×6 or 2x 8-pin PCIe.
- Outputs: 3x DisplayPort 2.1b, 1x HDMI 2.1b
- Interface: PCIe 5.0
The big selling point of this card, as with the RTX 5080 X3 we reviewed, is that INNO has managed to create a triple-fan card that only occupies two slots in your case. While larger and more expensive cards are available, if you’re after something suitable for a small form factor build, where space is at a premium, there aren’t many choices on the market. There’s the obvious Founders Edition from NVIDIA, but even then, they don’t make one for this card. Therefore, you’ll be faced with even fewer options. At a time when buying a GPU could literally come down to what’s available on the day you’re ready to buy it, an FE may not be available, and I think that’s where INNO are hedging their bets. No frills, slim, does the job, and is priced as it should be, obviously not taking into account what retailers end up scalping it for.
