So, when you think of premium GPUs, PNY probably isn’t the first name that comes to mind. They don’t go all-in on massive RGB setups or extreme cooling solutions like some other brands, but they’ve been making solid, no-nonsense cards for years. And now, we finally have one back on the test bench—the RTX 5070 Ti OC.
This is a card designed to sit in that sweet spot between high-end performance and, hopefully, not-so-high-end pricing. But in 2025, where GPU pricing makes less sense than ever, does it actually land where it should? That’s what we’re going to find out, but before we get into that, here’s a quick word from this video’s sponsor.
PNY RTX 5070 Ti OC
First, we need to address the biggest issue—pricing. The RTX 50 series is still in that weird phase where MSRP means almost nothing, and availability is a hot mess. On paper, the 5070 Ti should be a great option for anyone who wants strong performance without jumping into the pricing black hole of the 5080 or 5090. But in reality, some models are already creeping past their expected pricing, which puts them dangerously close to what the RTX 5080 was supposed to cost.
Features
- Architecture: NVIDIA Blackwell
- CUDA Cores: 8,960
- Clock Speed: 2.3 GHz
- Memory: 16GB GDDR7
- Display Outputs: 3x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI
- Thermal Design Power (TDP): 300W
Then there’s stock availability. Some listings vanish instantly, others are sitting at scalper prices, and at this point, the 5070 Ti is at risk of falling into the same cycle we’ve seen before—limited stock, inflated prices, and artificial scarcity which no consumer wants.
So onto the card itself. This is an overclocked model, which means a slight bump in clock speeds out of the box. The boost clock comes in at 2572MHz, which is just under a 5% increase over stock. Not bad, but also not game-changing, since a 5% clock speed increase doesn’t necessarily mean a 5% FPS boost—it’s a little more complicated than that.
Memory speed stays the same at 1750MHz or 28 Gbps effective, which is standard for all 50-series cards. But, as we’ve seen before, there’s usually plenty of headroom for overclocking, which we’ll get into later.
