The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 was fully disclosed this week at CES 2025, stirring considerable excitement. Despite being considered the least powerful among the newly launched 50-series, the RTX 5070 has generated numerous headlines. Most opinions will await the official launch in February to verify its capabilities, but tech insiders have insights to share.

PCGamesN recently experienced the RTX 5070 firsthand and shared valuable feedback on Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang’s on-stage assertions about the card’s performance being on par with the RTX 4090 for $549.

During a live demonstration playing Marvel Rivals, journalist Ben Hardwidge reported that the RTX 5070 not only matched the performance of the RTX 4090 but actually outperformed it, achieving around 240 fps compared to the older card’s average of 180 fps. Although this comparison may be influenced by specific game optimizations, the news indicates that significant performance levels associated with premium cards may soon be accessible at a lower price point.

Key Features of DLSS 4: With the new Tensor cores, the RTX 5070 supports DLSS 4, enabling impressive frame generation through AI that can yield up to three additional frames. This enhancement allows the RTX 5070 to demonstrate performance standards previously reserved for more expensive hardware.

As the excitement builds, Nvidia is setting up tests at their CES booth, showcasing the performance of the RTX 5070 against older models under real gaming conditions. These demonstrations are crucial for consumers eager to understand what this relatively affordable card can achieve when comparisons are made to its predecessor.
