Baldur’s Gate 3 merges classic RPG mechanics with modern visuals. In the Lower City, you’ll see crowds of NPCs and elaborate architecture that stress CPU and GPU alike. Multiple spell effects, dynamic lighting, and a bustling urban environment can all cause performance fluctuations during large-scale fights.

great review ty
in the UK rn it’s the cheapest 5070 with a solid warranty, and small enough to fit a compact ATX case. Unfortunately all the western sites are just hating on the 50 series cards over issues that don’t matter to me (my current machine is a decade old, going from an RX480 to any 2025 GPU is gonna feel good XD) so it’s reassuring to find a thorough test with power and temp stats etc
i’m sold, will probably run it at below full power tho, 10% more heat than an FE for 1% more frames doesn’t feel like a good trade off lol
Hating on NVIDIA has been the cool thing to do since Intel’s downfall in the tech space But agreed, if you got a case that can house this and has good airflow, this card’s definitely a good choice. FE’s a looker but if you’re planning to keep it for a while, warranty should give some peace of mind.
I like keeping the GPU Tweak app profiles configured with a 50% power for daily use, then crank up the fans and power to something tolerable (noise) for gaming and just switch between those 2 on the fly. Happy gaming ! 🙂
The ASUS PRIME RTX 5070 looks like a solid choice for power users! If you’re into presentations, pairing it with tools like PowerPoint, Productivity, ai tools, ai could really speed up your workflow. Great review—thanks for sharing the details!
