The MSRPs

Using the average frame rate data presented earlier in the review, here we look at the cost per frame using the UK MSRP launch prices for each GPU. Please note this only compares rasterised performance and value.

The good news for the RTX 5070 Ti in terms of value is that it is just 15% slower than the RTX 5080, but 25% cheaper when looking at the UK MSRP – so cost per frame is more competitive. It's still not a clear winner when looking at the 4K data, falling just shy of the likes of the 7800 XT and 7900 GRE, but it is a step in the right direction for the 50 series.

Current retail pricing

Now, things do change somewhat when looking at current street pricing. You'll notice a lot of 40 series GPUs are now missing from this chart as availability has really started to dry up, and I've also excluded the RTX 5090 given it can't even be pre-ordered at the time of writing. Still, the 5070 Ti doesn't look like terrible value – it's not a huge leap forward, but if you can get one at £729, it's clearly better than the RTX 5080.

However, I also included an extra data point, a hypothetical position where the RTX 5070 Ti retails for £900 – based on early indicators from Best Buy and Micro Center in the US, this could be a more realistic situation, at least for the initial period around launch. It doesn't take a genius to work out that value is significantly worse at the higher price point – at £729, the RTX 5070 Ti is competitive at the top of the chart, but at £900 it'd be no better than the RTX 5080 and worse than some last-gen parts like the 4070 and 4070 Super.
