The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, as with all the other Blackwell GPUs, has been on the market for some time now and suffice it to say, it’s not the cheapest card on the market. As mentioned in the local pricings coverage, all the available third party cards available in Malaysia starts north of RM4,000 and as these things usually go, we’re all left wondering how one brand’s iteration of the GPU fares against the competition.
Given that I, too, wanted to see how each one performed, I rounded or rather, scrounged as many cards as I could at the time of this publication, tested them, and compiled the results in a handful of games. However, let’s be clear on one thing: this is by no means shootout or competition.
The aim here is to simply provide you with the performance of each card on the list. On a separate note, I am aware of some cards not on the list but are already available in Malaysia. Heaven willing, I’ll add their metrics into the graphs later, when I get them.
The Testbed
To keep things fair, I’m benching every card with the same AMD Ryzen 9 9950X CPU, as well as the same 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM. The motherboard here is the ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero, while the storage is a 1TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD.
I will also be limiting the number of game titles to more up-to-date titles, while retaining some of the demanding ones. Of course, DLSS 4-capable titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2 have been retained because as of right now, they’re the only two titles that are able to utilise NVIDIA’s latest upscaling tech.
The Cards
ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti
Price: RM5,399
As one of the more common and popular brands in Malaysia, the TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti bears all the hallmarks of ASUS’ TUF series – military-grade components, phase-change thermal pads on the GPU, dual-ball bearings fans, and a uniform yet classy chassis to keep it looking sharp. Specs-wise, its boost clock is rated at 2,452MHz, while an OC mode pushes that to 2,482MHz.
The downside to having all that metal stuck on to the RTX 5070 Ti GPU is size: while not an absolute unit, it’s not exactly designed for small form factor builds although, to be fair, there are folks out there that would be up to the challenge for it.
Colorful iGame Ultra RTX 5070 Ti
Price: RM4,199
Colorful has had a presence in Malaysia for sometime now, and I was lucky enough to get their iGame Ultra RTX 5070 Ti into my lab. It’s a very pretty card, by and large, and I like the graffiti motif it’s gone for in its design of the cooler shroud.
I won’t be rehashing what I’ve already written in my review of the card. You can read it for yourself to find out what I think of it but simply put, it’s no slouch.
Gigabyte Aero RTX 5070 Ti
Price: RM4,939
The Aero RTX 5070 Ti is easily the biggest card of the four and it’s somewhat justified, due to Gigabyte’s Windforce cooling system, as well as the Hawk Fans that actively keep the card cool. And of course, there’s a stupidly massive chunk of metal acting as a buffer between the GPU and the fans, overextending itself well beyond the length of the PCB.
Performance-wise, the card has a boost clock of 2,588MHz.
MSI Ventus 3X RTX 5070 Ti
Price: RM4,290
Just as the Aero is the biggest of the four, the Ventus 3X is the smallest RTX 5070 Ti on the list. Even with its triple-fan configuration, MSI has managed to keep its size to being just slightly bigger than a Founders Edition RTX 5080 or 5090.
Again, this was the first RTX 5070 Ti I reviewed and as such, you can read my in-depth review of the card.
And with that…
