the launch of the RTX 50 Series has been plagued by underwhelming performance low
stock and black screening drivers and to top it off NVIDIA is embroiled in yet
another Power connector Scandal on their Flagship RTX 590 Founders Edition at
this point I wouldn't even blame them for saying you know what screw it let's
not even make a 5070 TI Founders Edition
what they didn't make one nope NVIDIA
has left their most a aable 50 Series
yet in the hands of their board Partners who did their best with it but if you
guys were hoping that the 50 Series story would get better as we made our
way down to the cards that more folks can afford well I've got news for you
the good news is that the 570 TI is a significantly more compelling product
than the 580 but that assumes that anyone can get it at MSRP and that's the
bad news no one's going to be getting it at MSR RP but you know what you will get
at MSRP is this segue to our sponsor HRS

description the 570 TI sits in kind of a weird place it arguably has the chops
for 4K gaming but in our opinion The Sweet Spot for it is high refresh rate
1440p gaming or very high refresh rate
like Esports 1080p gaming let's start with the ladder in Allen wake the 570 TI
manages a 9% uplift over the 470 TI super but then loses to AMD's aging 7900
XT in f124 the 570 TI inches a bit
closer to pull position and gets closer still in sci-fi Rog like Eternal in our
Vulcan test Red Dead Redemption 2 we see the 570 TI finally surpass the 7900 XT
but it's not until we look at cyberpunk where we see a result that meets the
technical definition of a lead albeit barely with that said thanks to its much
better one% lows the 570 TI tops our charts in The Last of Us Part One and
properly beats team red in black myth Wukong across our suite of games then we
see the 570 TI pull off a serviceable 15% lead over its last gen counterpart
but we also see it demonstrate clearly why NVIDIA wishes that everyone would
just forget that that card was replaced by a more Super variant just over a year
ago it surpasses that card by only 9% B
of course at 108p it's easy for a card this powerful to end up CPU bottleneck
so let's push some more pixels to get a better idea of where the 570 TI sits in
the product stack right out of the gate it manages a measurably better
improvement over the last gen super at 1440p and what a 10% is a measurably
more than nine but even then it still fails to
break away from Team Red's 7900 sandwich which further illustrates just how
disappointing this generation is for gamers typically we would expect a new
70 class GPU to beat or at least match
the last Generations 80 series but now not even the 70 TI can stand up to the
last gen 80 card that kind of sucks unless you have a
4080 in which case hey NVIDIA just saved
you a lot of money maybe it makes up for it in ra tracing though and well hey it
Compares much more favorably to AMD here whose 7,000 series RT capabilities are
more like two generations behind NVIDIA but we are still looking at a me uplift
over the 470 TI super I mean if you want
to crank the I candy without upscaling at 1080 the 57 ETI delivers a great
gaming experience outside of the notoriously demanding black myth Wukong
but 1080p Ultra used to cost like 300
bucks not 750 bucks the good news is
that 1440p Ray tracing puts the 570 TI
in its biggest lead over last gen so far a
133% so if you pretend that the super
doesn't exist the 570 TI does provide
decent generational uplift but the nons
super that NVIDIA wants us to compare it to was mocked for its dismal value
proposition and given that I have supers in my warehouse right now it's clear
that NVIDIA's Operation Kronos failed
superly so why isn't NVIDIA's new 50
Series Blackwell much better well for a
couple of reasons but the main one is that it's manufactured on the same 4N
process note as it's pred processor and makes relatively light changes to the
underlying architecture compared to last gen we get lightly improved Ray tracing
or RT cores moderately improved tensor cores for AI and this one is key
seemingly unimproved Cuda cores which do the bulk of the work in traditional
rendering the main step forward seems to be better integration between the AI and
the rendering course for the sake of future neural rendering technology that
demos admittedly very well right now but it's going to take time to see
widespread adoption in games you can play with all of that said Blackwell
cards do get some pretty big improvements that don't show up on the
FPS charts the media engine for encoding and streaming is capable of
significantly higher quality DP 2.1 uh2
connectors at the back allow these monsters to drive 4K displays at up to
240 HZ without compression and the jump
to GDDR 7 memory means that our vram is now one greater than six but oh no it
must have heard me say neural rendering hide DS S4 with multiframe Gen is coming
and it's coming in hot I'm talking over 150 frames per second in cyberpunk at 4K
with raay tracing set to ultra dang and
we get improved image quality over previous generations of dlss our frames
look closer to Native rendering thanks to the new Transformer based AI
upscaling model and the new tensor cores can generate as many as three AI
generated frames for every truly rendered frame leaving less AI endowed
last gen cards in the dust too bad it
comes with numerous downsides like lowering your base frame rate only
really feeling good when that base frame rate is already high enough to be
playable and introducing weird anomalies
like any tool it does have its uses but don't imagine that it's a magic fix no
matter how much NVIDIA wants you to believe that it is of course that
doesn't mean the 570 TI is a slow card
for funsies we got the good folks in the lab wearing their super awesome LTT Labs
merch from LTT Store.com to drag race the 5070 TI in 4k against its bigger
brother the RTX 580 resulting in probably the best argument for this card
that we've seen yet obviously it's slower it's a lower-end card but the
value is much better against a card that is sold out everywhere and it's got the
same 16 gigs of vram making both cards likely to be similarly
future probable I don't want to say proof our
Asus Prime card features a triple fan cooler that uses a flowthrough design
it's a little thicker than two slots but it isn't any wider or taller than the
580f and managed to keep this 300 watt
card at around 70° in both f124 and in
combuster in our power tests while we did see a transient Spike as high as 360
WTS overall the seems well behaved as it pulls roughly 9% more power than the 470
TI to deliver your sweet sweet FPS for
power delivery Asus uses the scandalous connector that's been making headlines
for melting on Founders Edition 509s but
the lower power draw here by half means
that melting cables shouldn't be an issue uh on an unrelated
note when's the last time you checked your smoke alarm the 570 TI is clearly a
gaming focused product but we like to take a look at productivity anyway and
we were unsurprised to find that the biggest generational uplift is in you
guessed it AI with most of our benchmarks seeing substantial
improvements over last gen and especially over the competition from AMD
while the models that you can run will be limited by your mere 16 gigs of vram
you're no more limited than you would be on a 80 cool card that one as for 3D modeling
don't expect much of an improvement and for video editing the new card proves
capable if not Sensational with very similar performance to the 580 just note
though that the 70 TI has one fewer decoda engine compared to its bigger
brother so for a very large multi-cam setup for instance you could overburden
it and end up putting additional strain on your CPU all right with that out of
the way what's the conclusion for this thing well it's complicated if you spent
$599 for a 2070 super way back in the
day you might be happy to spend 150 bucks more than you did last time on a
570 that Nets you over 2 and 1 half
times the performance and that that's a totally valid perspective so why are
reviewers so pissed off about this thing and the 50 Series in general well it's
because at one point you could wait that same 6 years and the card that you
upgraded to would be over three times as good for essentially the same nominal
price and then if you factored in inflation it would technically be
cheaper not to mention that these new cards here can't even be bought at those
advertised prices for reasons that seem to mostly come down to NVIDIA
prioritizing their AI customers and their shareholders over Gamers so yeah
I'm mad because For the first time in my lifetime the trend of more powerful
Hardware being available to more people driving a boom in access to information
and Economic Opportunity that Trend
seems to be going in reverse maybe AMD's
radon team can save us yeah I don't know if I'm hopeful but I'm hoping hoping to
