Will the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti fit and work in your PC?

Everything you need before you buy a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti as an upgrade: the power supply, the power connector, whether it fits your case, and which CPUs won't hold it back.

🔌 Power & connectors

NVIDIA/AMD recommend at least a 750 W power supply for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and it draws power through 1× 16-pin (12V-2x6). Make sure your PSU actually has that cable free — it's the #1 reason a GPU upgrade gets returned.

📏 Will it fit your case?

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is 300 mm long and 2.5 slots thick. It fits 64 of 66 popular cases we track, including 8 small-form-factor (ITX) cases.

Tightest cases it still fits: Lian Li A4-H2O (ITX), Lian Li Q58 (ITX), Fractal Terra (ITX), NZXT H210 (ITX).

🧠 CPUs that won't bottleneck it

The faster the GPU, the more CPU you need — and lower resolutions lean harder on the CPU. Minimum recommended CPU for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti by resolution:

1080p (most CPU-demanding) — at least a Ryzen 7 5800X
Ryzen 7 5800XCore i5-14400FCore i7-11700KCore i9-10900KRyzen 9 5900X
1440p — at least a Ryzen 5 5500GT

4K (least CPU-demanding) — at least a Core i5-4690K

"Won't bottleneck" means your CPU can keep the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti busy at that resolution; the chips shown are the most affordable that qualify. Specific games still vary.
