What LLMs can a single GeForce RTX 5070 Ti run?
A single 5070 Ti runs up to 12B at 4-bit or 8-bit. Bigger needs 2-bit: Qwen3.6 35B A3B runs about 158 tokens/s, triple the speed of using system RAM.

RunsFits fully in VRAM; speed is estimated from VRAM bandwidth.
Needs RAM offloadMoE only: expert weights sit in system RAM, so speed is estimated from 70 GB/s RAM bandwidth.
Too bigWon’t fit on one card at this quantization, even with RAM offload.
Full calculation rules are on the Methodology page.
Who it suits
Good fit
- Mainly running models up to 12B
Gemma 4 12B runs at about 83 tokens/s at 4-bit and about 49 at 8-bit, both with more than 180K of context
- Running MoE models at 2-bit entirely on the card
Qwen3.6 35B A3B runs at about 158 tokens/s, three times as fast as at 4-bit with its experts in system RAM
- You want a new card with a warranty and speed close to a 3090
On dense models both cards can hold, it is only 4% slower, and it draws 50W less
Not a good fit
- Running 27B to 31B dense models at 4-bit
Qwen3.8 27B needs 16.5 GB and Gemma 4 31B needs 18.3 GB, and neither fits
- Running 30B-class MoE models at 4-bit
Qwen3.6 35B A3B has to put its experts in system RAM and runs at about 52 tokens/s, while a 3090, which holds it entirely, does about 135
Before you buy
No Founders Edition, so size depends on the model
NVIDIA made no Founders Edition of the 5070 Ti. Every card comes from a board partner, and length, thickness and cooling vary by brand, so measure your case against the specific model before you build. For the power supply, follow NVIDIA's recommendation of 750W.
Check the ROP count in GPU-Z
In February 2025 NVIDIA confirmed that fewer than 0.5% of 50-series cards shipped missing some of their ROPs (render output units), making them about 4% slower in games on average. NVIDIA says AI compute is not affected, and affected cards can be replaced through the manufacturer. A normal 5070 Ti has 96 ROPs; when buying used, ask the seller for a GPU-Z screenshot.
What to do when 16GB isn't enough
First shorten the context, then drop to 3-bit or 2-bit; with MoE models you can also put the experts in system RAM. Only if none of that is enough should you consider a 24GB card.
