NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (ASUS Prime OC)

Cat. no. gpu-rtx-5070

Curator note

The new-card entry point at 12 GB: current Blackwell silicon with much more memory bandwidth than the RTX 3060. Like the 3060 it holds a quantised 7B–13B model, so it suits a first build or a second card beside a bigger one. The 12 GB ceiling is the catch: for the money, a used 24 GB card holds far larger models. Partner cards vary in length, width and power connector; this entry lists the ASUS Prime OC, which is 2.5 slots wide, 304 mm long and takes one 16-pin cable, so adjacent slots get blocked in multi-GPU builds.
