Now some people don’t need a video card for gaming, they need the processing power for rendering or 2D/3D production, or in some cases, people who game also do work on the side. AI performance importance has increased quickly recently as well. So it is also important to check out the compute and AI performance on all of the video cards that come in. That includes doing a few different tests. My first test was Geekbench AI, a cross platform AI benchmark that uses real-world machine learning tasks giving three results, a full precision score, half precision score, and a quantized score. The Prime RTX 5070 Ti did well here with the combined result putting it up over the RTX 4090 mostly from a great half-precision score.
Blender is always my favorite compute benchmark because the open-source 3D rendering software is very popular and it isn’t a synthetic benchmark. With the latest version of Blender, they redid the benchmark so we now have a new test that runs three different renderings and gives each a score. I have all three stacked together so we can see the overall performance. The Prime RTX 5070 Ti didn’t do as hot here coming in behind both the RTX 4080 and RTX 4080 SUPER by a significant margin.
For CUDA-based cards, I also check out V-Ray Benchmark 5 to check out CUDA and RTX performance in the 3D rendering and simulation software. The Prime RTX 5070 Ti slightly outperformed the 4080 and 4080 SUPER in the V-Ray 5 CUDA test but came in behind both in the RTX result which was interesting.
