The ROG Strix GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB OC Edition targets enthusiasts of premium products. It impresses with its refined design, significantly oversized cooling, and ARGB lighting that stands out in a glass case. Extras include headers for system fans and a fifth display output. It offers a Q mode for quiet cooling fans and gives tuners ample headroom for boosting performance and and fine-tune acoustics.

The first set of tests compares performance in native resolution using various anti-aliasing techniques. Traditional aliasing falls slightly behind in image quality compared to FSR or DLSS in native resolution, i.e., Native AA or DLAA modes.
The image quality varies between anti-aliasing methods, with DLSS currently offering the highest quality, although it’s exclusive to GeForce cards. GeForce owners have no real reason to choose anything other than DLSS. To compare GeForce cards with Radeons, however, all cards are also tested with FSR.
For weaker cards, we include tests at Ultra settings without ray tracing, and for more powerful cards, we also run RT Ultra and RT Overdrive with path tracing.
Global settings Ultra
The lower, Ultra settings are tested mainly for older cards. On high-end cards, performance is bottlenecked by the CPU, so the performance increase doesn’t reflect raw GPU performance. Ray tracing is not used, and DLSS isn’t necessary either.

Global settings RT Ultra
The RT Ultra setting uses hybrid ray tracing—a combination of rasterization and ray-traced effects—and is suitable for comparing the performance of the latest generation cards.

Global settings RT Overdrive
RT Overdrive employs path tracing, using full ray tracing to render scenes. On GeForce cards, DLAA with transformers is used.
