NVIDIA RTX 5070 GPU: Specs, VRAM, Price & Benchmarks (2026)
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 (12GB GDDR7) launched in 2025. This guide covers its full specs, VRAM, SXM/PCIe differences where they apply, AI performance, and live per-GPU rental pricing on Aquanode.
Short answer on cost: the RTX 5070 rents from $0.427 per GPU per hour on Aquanode.
How much VRAM does the RTX 5070 have?
The RTX 5070 has 12GB GDDR7, with 672 GB/s of peak memory bandwidth.
- VRAM: RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 vs RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GDDR7
- VRAM: RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 vs RTX 4070 12GB GDDR6X
What fits in 12GB GDDR7 of VRAM
| Model | Precision | Fits? |
|---|---|---|
| Llama 3.2 3B | FP16 | roughly 6GB. Fits with room to spare. |
| Llama 3 8B | FP8 | ~8GB. Fits, with a modest KV-cache budget. |
| Mistral 7B | FP16 | ~14GB. Does not fit on a single 12GB card. |
| Llama 3.1 70B | INT4 | ~35-40GB. Does not fit. |
Approximate, based on published parameter counts and standard bytes-per-parameter rules of thumb (FP16 ≈ 2 bytes/param, INT4 ≈ 0.5-0.6 bytes/param). Real footprint also depends on KV-cache size and framework overhead.
What can the RTX 5070 run?
Popular open models from small to frontier scale, with the memory each needs and how many RTX 5070 cards (12GB GDDR7 each) that takes.
| Model | As published | FP8 | INT4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen/Qwen3-8B 8.2B | BF16: ~18.3 GB, 2 GPUs | FP8: ~9.2 GB, 1 GPU | INT4: ~4.6 GB, 1 GPU |
| Qwen/Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct 14.8B | BF16: ~33 GB, 3 GPUs | FP8: ~16.5 GB, 2 GPUs | INT4: ~8.3 GB, 1 GPU |
| Qwen/Qwen3-32B 32.8B | BF16: ~73.2 GB, 7 GPUs | FP8: ~36.6 GB, 4 GPUs | INT4: ~18.3 GB, 2 GPUs |
| Qwen/Qwen-72B 72.3B | BF16: ~162 GB, 14 GPUs | FP8: ~80.8 GB, 7 GPUs | INT4: ~40.4 GB, 4 GPUs |
| MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7 228.7B | FP8: ~256 GB, 22 GPUs | – | INT4: ~128 GB, 11 GPUs |
| deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 684.5B | FP8: ~765 GB, 64 GPUs | – | INT4: ~383 GB, 32 GPUs |
Estimates: weights at the stated precision plus a flat 20% for KV cache and overhead, at a moderate context length. A dash means the precision is not offered for that model (it is already published at that size). INT4 needs a published quantized checkpoint. Open any model for a per-GPU breakdown, or use the RTX 5070 VRAM calculator.

RTX 5070 AI performance
A 250W Blackwell card with FP8 and FP4 tensor cores and 672 GB/s. Enough for quantized 7-8B serving at a low hourly rate, and the cheapest FP4-capable hardware on this marketplace.
- Dense FP16/BF16 tensor throughput: 123.5 TFLOPS
- Dense FP8 tensor throughput: 246.9 TFLOPS
- Memory bandwidth: 672 GB/s
12GB. A 7B model in FP16 uses most of it before any KV cache, so almost everything here has to be quantized, and no 13B-class model fits at FP16 at all. No ECC, no NVLink.

How this price is calculated
All prices on this page are normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using each offer's authoritative GPU count, so that raw price is divided by the number of GPUs it actually covers; some offers report price as already per-GPU, so those are used as-listed. An offer with a missing, zero, or invalid GPU count is excluded entirely rather than published at a guessed rate.
No offers were excluded from this snapshot for a missing or invalid price. No offers were dropped as price outliers in this snapshot.
Only the cheapest qualifying offer per provider is shown in the table above. This page regenerates at most once per hour.

What is the NVIDIA RTX 5070?
The NVIDIA RTX 5070 is a GPU released in 2025, with 12GB GDDR7 of memory and a 250W power envelope. See the full spec table above for interconnect, form factor and tensor-throughput details.
How much does it cost to rent a RTX 5070?
Live RTX 5070 rental prices currently range from $0.427 to $0.703 per GPU per hour, with a median of $0.559 per GPU per hour.
What's the cheapest RTX 5070 rate?
The lowest current RTX 5070 rate on Aquanode is $0.427 per GPU per hour in Nevada, Us.
How does the RTX 5070 compare to the RTX 5070 Ti?
VRAM: RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 vs RTX 5070 Ti 16GB GDDR7 Memory bandwidth: 672 GB/s vs 896 GB/s Dense FP8 tensor throughput: 246.9 TFLOPS vs 351.5 TFLOPS On Aquanode right now, RTX 5070 Ti starts at $0.354/GPU/hr against RTX 5070's $0.427/GPU/hr, about 17% less.

What is the RTX 5070 good for?
A 250W Blackwell card with FP8 and FP4 tensor cores and 672 GB/s. Enough for quantized 7-8B serving at a low hourly rate, and the cheapest FP4-capable hardware on this marketplace.
What are the RTX 5070's limitations?
12GB. A 7B model in FP16 uses most of it before any KV cache, so almost everything here has to be quantized, and no 13B-class model fits at FP16 at all. No ECC, no NVLink.
Is renting cheaper than buying?
Renting avoids the upfront hardware cost and lets you match spend to actual usage. A rented RTX 5070 at $0.427/hr only costs money while it's running, whereas buying ties up capital in hardware that keeps depreciating whether it's in use or not. Buying outright runs $549 (launch MSRP). Which is cheaper depends on how continuously you'd run it; short or bursty workloads usually favor renting.
How is the RTX 5070 price calculated?
All prices are normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using each offer's authoritative GPU count, which the raw price is divided by; some offers report price as already per-GPU. Offers whose price can't be safely normalized, or whose rate is an extreme outlier against the rest of the market, are excluded.
