Test Rig
For our tests, we used our Project AORUS ICE PC Build, which consists of a which consists of a Gigabyte Z790 AORUS Pro X motherboard
All tests were conducted at turbo clock speeds at a resolution of 1920×1080 or 2560×1440. High or Ultra settings enabled.

GPU-Z Info
As you can see the card uses the Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070 with a boost clock of 2,610 MHz, along with 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 192-bit memory bus.
AIDA64 GPU Info
According to AIDA64, the card has a GPU codename GB205-300-A1 and uses 4nm technology. It supports PCIE 5.0 x16 interface and uses Samsung GDDR7 ram running at 28Gbps (2 x 19Gbps).
PassMark 11 – Performance Test (3D Test)
Test the speed of your 3D video card by selecting from options such as fogging, lighting, alpha blending, wire frame, texturing, resolution, color depth, object rotation and object displacement. Separate tests for DirectX 9,10,11 & 12. With support for 4K resolution.
Load Temperatures
Full power draw hit a maximum of 250.93W, which falls in line with Nvidia’s spec of 250W, so no issues here. Idle temps was between 34 to 45 degrees Celsius, while the full load temps reach a high of around 62 degrees Celsius which is acceptable.
Oddly, the hotspot reading was a little wonky at 255 degrees … HW Monitor isn’t reading this correctly. When they have a new update we shall revisit.
