Name: Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Phoenix
Brand: Gainward
SKU: 6538

Manufacturer: Gainward

The Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Phoenix is a graphics card based on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process node and housing 31,100 million transistors. It operates with a base GPU clock of 2325 MHz and a turbo frequency of 2512 MHz, while its 6144 shading units and 192 texture mapping units contribute to a texture rate of 482.3 GTexels/s and a floating-point throughput of 30.87 TFLOPS.

On the memory side, the card is equipped with 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM running across a 192-bit bus at an effective speed of 28000 MHz, delivering up to 672 GB/s of bandwidth. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, ray tracing, and DLSS, and connects via one HDMI 2.1b port and three DisplayPort outputs for a maximum of four simultaneous displays. The card has a rated TDP of 250W, measures 331.9 mm in length and 133.1 mm in height, and connects to the system through a PCIe 5.0 interface.

Pros

Supports up to four simultaneous displays through three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI 2.1b port, offering flexible multi-monitor setups
12GB of GDDR7 VRAM running at an effective 28000 MHz with 672 GB/s of bandwidth suits memory-intensive workloads
Hardware ray tracing and DLSS support are both present, enabling more realistic lighting rendering with upscaling capability
ECC memory support helps maintain data integrity during sustained compute tasks
Intel Resizable BAR support allows the CPU broader access to GPU memory, which can improve frame delivery
RGB lighting is built in, and the card does not carry LHR restrictions

Cons

A 250W TDP demands adequate case airflow and a capable power supply, with no water-cooling option available
The 192-bit memory bus width is narrower than what some higher-tier cards in this generation offer, which limits maximum bandwidth scaling
No USB-C output is present, ruling out direct connection to displays or devices that rely on that interface
The card's 331.9 mm length may not fit in compact or mid-tower cases without careful clearance planning
XeSS (XMX) is not supported, limiting compatibility with that specific upscaling technology

Who is this for?

This card is well-suited to users who regularly work with ray-traced rendering and real-time 3D workloads, given its hardware ray tracing support, 30.87 TFLOPS of floating-point throughput, and DLSS capability that helps maintain frame rates under demanding conditions. The 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM paired with 672 GB/s of bandwidth also makes it a solid fit for content creators and compute-oriented tasks that benefit from fast memory throughput and ECC support. Additionally, users running multi-monitor setups of up to four displays will find the combination of three DisplayPort and one HDMI 2.1b output a practical and flexible arrangement.

Who is this NOT for?

Users working in space-constrained builds may find the card's 331.9 mm length a limiting factor, as compact or smaller mid-tower cases may not accommodate it without clearance issues. Those requiring water-cooling integration will need to look elsewhere, since this card relies solely on air cooling and offers no hybrid or liquid-cooling option. Similarly, users who depend on USB-C display output — such as those connecting to modern monitors or portable displays via that interface — will find this card unsuitable, as no USB-C port is available.
