Jensen Huang made a startling claim about the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 when he paraded its talents at CES in January 2025. This $549 gaming GPU, said Huang, was as fast as the mighty RTX 4090, thanks to the magic of Nvidia’s new multi frame gen tech with DLSS 4. There were echoes of when the RTX 3070 was genuinely as fast as the RTX 2080 Ti when it came out, but this time it’s all down to AI wizardry rather than raw rendering power.
Nvidia has bet the house on AI for its current generation of RTX 5000 GPUs, and the lack of competition had undoubtedly helped it so far. In our RTX 5090 review, we found a GPU that may be extremely expensive and power-hungry but is still ultimately the best graphics card you can buy, if you can afford it and assuming you can find 5090 stock. The situation is less clear cut with the RTX 5070, which has ended up being released in March, rather than February as originally planned, and now finds itself fending off some ferocious competition from AMD.
The RTX 5070 still has multi frame gen in its arsenal, of course, as well as wide support for Nvidia DLSS tech in games, plus the enormous brand recognition that Nvidia now commands in the graphics card market. Is that enough? I’ve benchmarked this Asus Prime RTX 5070 card in a number of games, including multi frame gen tests, to find out.
