ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti O16G

Key features of the ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti O16G graphics card

Cooling and construction

A trio of fans provides airflow for effective cooling. The Prime RTX 5070 Ti has a 2.5-slot design with a clear layout of the shroud, heatsink, and heatpipes, so the three Axial-tech fans can utilise the chassis side panel ventilation to deliver optimal cooling performance. The three Axial-tech fans feature a smaller hub that facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring that pushes air downwards, resulting in lower temperatures, less noise, and higher performance.

Thermal solution

Large backplate vents improve heat dissipation and help keep the GPU cooler during intensive tasks. This airflow increases performance, lifespan, and stability by preventing overheating and thermal throttling. The MaxContact solution increases the heat spreader's surface area over the GPU by 5%, which, combined with the heatsink and powerful Axial-tech fans, reduces temperatures by up to 2°C. A phase-change GPU thermal pad, which melts to effectively fill the gaps between the GPU and the cooling module, provides efficient thermal conductivity and better heat dissipation.

Construction

ASUS GPU Guard uses an adhesive to secure all four corners to reduce the risk of cracks, while a GPU bracket helps ensure even mounting pressure and more stability. The printed circuit board is reinforced with an aluminium backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and protect components and trace paths from damage. The mounting bracket is made from 304 Stainless Steel, chosen for its strength and high corrosion resistance. ASUS Auto-Extreme Technology allows all soldering to be completed in a single pass, reducing thermal strain on components.

Technology

Fifth-generation Tensor Cores deliver maximum AI performance thanks to FP4 and DLSS 4.0, with streaming multiprocessors optimised for neural shaders. Fourth-generation Ray Tracing Cores are built to handle Mega Geometry. Full ray tracing with neural rendering provides lifelike graphics. NVIDIA Broadcast and the ninth-generation NVIDIA Encoder enhance any video with AI. The NVIDIA app with Game Ready and Studio Drivers delivers performance and reliability. NVIDIA G-SYNC provides modern gaming display technologies.

Software and modes

The Dual BIOS lets you switch between Performance and Quiet modes. In Performance mode, the fans spin up to keep the card consistently cool. Quiet mode maintains the same power target and top-end settings but offers a less aggressive fan curve for quieter operation at moderate temperatures. The ASUS GPU Tweak III utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It lets you tweak critical parameters, including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customisable on-screen display.
