Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Phoenix-S GS VS PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC Triple Fan

At first glance, the base and boost clock speeds tell a misleadingly close story: the Gainward RTX 5070 Phoenix-S GS actually edges out the PNY RTX 5070 Ti OC Triple Fan on base clock (2325 MHz vs 2295 MHz), and both cards hit an identical turbo of 2572 MHz. However, clock speed is only half the equation — the number of execution units doing the work at that speed is where the real gap emerges.

The PNY 5070 Ti carries significantly more silicon: 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs versus the Gainward's 6144 shaders, 192 TMUs, and 80 ROPs — roughly a 46% advantage in raw shader and texturing throughput. This directly translates into the floating-point performance figures: 46.09 TFLOPS for the PNY versus 31.6 TFLOPS for the Gainward, a ~46% compute lead. The texture rate gap mirrors this (720.2 GTexels/s vs 493.8 GTexels/s), meaning the 5070 Ti can handle significantly more texture work per frame — relevant for high-resolution rendering, demanding rasterization, and compute-heavy workloads. The pixel fillrate advantage (246.9 GPixel/s vs 205.8 GPixel/s), driven by the extra ROPs, also favors the PNY, particularly at higher resolutions where bandwidth to the framebuffer becomes a bottleneck.

Both cards share the same 1750 MHz memory speed and both support double-precision floating point, so they are evenly matched on those fronts. Overall, the PNY RTX 5070 Ti OC Triple Fan holds a clear and substantial performance advantage in this group — not because it runs faster, but because it has far more parallel compute resources working at the same speed. The Gainward 5070 is a capable card, but it is a tier below in raw throughput by design.

The Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Phoenix-S GS features an effective memory speed of 28000 MHz, a maximum memory bandwidth of 672 GB/s, and 12GB of VRAM. It uses GDDR7 memory with a 192-bit memory bus width and supports ECC memory.

On the other hand, the PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC Triple Fan also has an effective memory speed of 28000 MHz, but it offers a higher maximum memory bandwidth of 896 GB/s and comes with 16GB of VRAM. This card also uses GDDR7 memory, but with a wider 256-bit memory bus and supports ECC memory.

While both cards share the same memory speed and GDDR7 memory type, the PNY card provides higher memory bandwidth, more VRAM, and a wider memory bus, giving it a clear advantage in these areas.

The Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Phoenix-S GS and the PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC Triple Fan both support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3. They also feature multi-display technology, ray tracing, 3D support, and DLSS. Both cards support Intel Resizable BAR and do not include XeSS (XMX). Neither card has LHR (Lite Hash Rate) restrictions.

One key difference between the two is the RGB lighting. The Gainward card features RGB lighting, while the PNY card does not. Additionally, both cards support up to 4 displays, making them equally capable in terms of multi-monitor setups.

Overall, the two cards are nearly identical in terms of features, with the main distinction being the RGB lighting available on the Gainward card.

Both the Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Phoenix-S GS and the PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC Triple Fan feature 1 HDMI output, with the HDMI version being HDMI 2.1b. Each card also has 3 DisplayPort outputs. Neither card includes USB-C ports, DVI outputs, nor mini DisplayPort outputs.

There are no differences between the two cards in terms of ports, as both have identical configurations.

In summary, the Gainward and PNY cards offer the same port setup, with one HDMI 2.1b output, three DisplayPort outputs, and no additional ports like USB-C or mini DisplayPort.

Both the Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Phoenix-S GS and the PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC Triple Fan use the Blackwell GPU architecture, with both also supporting PCI Express (PCIe) version 5 and a semiconductor size of 5 nm. However, there are some differences in their specifications.

The Gainward card has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 250W, while the PNY card has a higher TDP of 300W. In terms of transistor count, the Gainward card has 31,100 million transistors, whereas the PNY card has a significantly higher 45,600 million transistors. The dimensions also vary: the Gainward card is wider at 331.9 mm and taller at 127.1 mm, while the PNY card is more compact, with a width of 299.5 mm and a height of 120 mm.

Both cards do not feature air-water cooling, but the PNY card has a larger number of transistors and a higher TDP, indicating potentially more power-hungry performance, while the Gainward card is physically larger.
