Given that most cards will boost all the way to their highest potential, the numbers we see here should be a good indicator of what to expect from these cards in general. Results are captured via inline power metering instruments primarily Powenetics v2 by Cybenetics/Hardware Busters for accurate card-only data capture.
Occasionally, we use PCAT v2 (or v1) for FrameView-related functionalities. Powenetics v2 is the modern iteration of our original Powenetics system licensed from Cybenetics Labs and allows more thorough read-outs for the entire system including the CPU power, GPU power (+PCIe slot), and the system power overall. This removes the guesswork from taking power readings from differing GPU APIs and provides consistent readings regardless of vendors. It integrates directly with CapFrameX hence all our capture data have inline power readings.
Power Draw and Temperature
Clock Speed Behavior Under Load
It is possible to push workloads to a GPU to attain a fixed power consumption but real-world games and graphics applications do not operate this way. Modern GPUs can boost way past their base clock and with adequate cooling, max out their TGP budgets. The chart below exposes how the GPU behaves in relation to power and temperature. It also shows us how well the cooling keeps up.
With the relatively lighter cooler, the MSI RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X OC can tank a few seconds drawing 300W without the fan spinning before dipping back to 280W to kick the fans from idle-stop mode to active. After 3 minutes, the GPU tops out our fans at 2200 RPM (62%) with our clock speed seeing boost range of 2745Mhz-2790Mhz out-of-box without enabling Extreme Performance Mode.
Based on the clock behavior, it is possible to push this card further with better cooling and cranking up the fans could push it a bit further without touching those OC dials.
Looking at power draw, our sample is an MSRP RTX 5070 Ti and is set a 300W power limit. Actual draw sees power draw dipping a bit higher at 311W with spikes of up to 340W being seen, at 66*C average, the power draw lines up at an average of 311W.
NVIDIA recommends a 750W power supply for the RTX 5070 Ti which lines up just right but if you are running flagship CPUs with this card, it’s highly advisable to go with 850W or higher.

50-60k price range?
Reavin Hipolito etong mismong card if 55420php msrp ni nvidia pero depende ke store if bebenta nila na card lang or new build
Nice review!
Stores are acting like scalpers themselves. Breaching the 70k mark for the 5070ti. This is the picture is an Asus tuf being sold by gameone for 74k while Gigabyte 5070ti aero priced around 73k!

Le Mon it goes up to 80k+ in some stores too. worst thing is the rtx 40 supplly chain’s been used to make the rtx50 so if those old cards go, these are all we’releft with
Le Mon msrp is a lie na bro. Pny, palit, at zotac nalang ata ung msrp for base models nila. May markup na din sa US ung ibang brands wag na umasa lalo sa Pinas.
Daniel Carandang I don’t even think palit, zotac, and pny will be priced good considering the pricing for their 5080 models.
Le Mon dagdagan lang ng 3500 palit gamerock 5080 na
