NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
Specifications, where the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti sits for gaming, the processor worth pairing with it, and the frame rate the pair returns at every resolution.
Ryzen 5 4500
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti and the Ryzen 5 4500 return about 33 fps on High at 1440p with neither part wasting the other. A processor slower than the Ryzen 5 4500 leaves the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti idling, and a faster one adds no frames to a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti at this resolution.

| Manufacturer | NVIDIA |

| Gaming performance index | 24.0 (RTX 4090 = 100) |
What these numbers mean for the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
On our index the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti scores 24.0, which places it 67th of the 89 graphics cards we track and puts it faster than roughly 25% of them.
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti and the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti land on exactly the same index score of 24.0, so on raw throughput the two are interchangeable and the choice between them comes down to memory, power draw and price on the day.
8 GB of memory is the figure to watch on the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti: workable at 1080p, tight at 1440p on high presets, and short of what a handful of recent titles want, which on a 8 GB card shows up as stutter rather than a lower frame counter and so gets misdiagnosed as the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti simply being slow.
At 180 W the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti sits in the mainstream power bracket, so a competent supply of around 500 W total handles the whole machine and cooling is a matter of normal case airflow rather than special planning.
Released in 2017, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is 9 years old and well past the point of being a sensible new purchase, and it is here because plenty of people still run a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti and want to know what to pair with it or whether to replace it.
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti frame rate at each resolution
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti paired with the Ryzen 5 4500 on the High preset with 16 GB of system memory. The card is the limit throughout, so the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti falls the full 70% from 44 fps to 13 fps as the pixel count rises.
| Resolution | Estimated fps | Limited by |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p (1920 x 1080) | 44 fps | GPU |
| 1440p (2560 x 1440) | 33 fps | GPU |
| 4K (3840 x 2160) | 13 fps | GPU |
How the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti compares
6 cards sit within 30% of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti on our gaming index, running from the Radeon RX 6650 XT at +29% to the Arc A750 at +25%, a window narrow enough that price, memory and power decide it rather than raw speed.
What to pair with the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, and when to upgrade
Best CPU for the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
When the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti becomes the limit, the GeForce RTX 5060 is the next step worth paying for: 38.0 on our index against 24.0, a jump of 58%, which is roughly where an upgrade stops being something you have to look at a counter to notice. See its specs.
