RTX 5070 - why i chose most hated gpu in one of best type - RTX 5070 Aorus.

Quick verdict: The Gigabyte AORUS RTX 5070 Master is a strong mid‑range pick: excellent cooling, solid 12 GB GDDR7 specs, and good value vs. the higher‑end 5070 Ti—especially if you build in a roomy, high‑airflow case like the Phanteks Enthoo Pro - like me.

Quick guide — what to consider before buying

• Budget vs. target resolution (1440p is the sweet spot for the 5070 but i use it in 4k and works excellent).

• Case airflow and PSU headroom (5070 AORUS draws ~220–240 W under load; 5070 Ti ~300 W).

• Local availability and price volatility (stock and GDDR7 supply affect prices).

Specs and thermal/power behavior

The AORUS RTX 5070 Master uses NVIDIA’s Blackwell‑based GB205 GPU with 6144 shaders, 12 GB GDDR7 on a 192‑bit bus, and boost clocks in the 2.5 GHz range as implemented by Gigabyte. Typical board power for partner 5070 cards sits around ~220–240 W in performance BIOSes, while the Ti variant is a larger chip with ~300 W TDP and 16 GB GDDR7. Independent reviews show well‑designed partner coolers keep 5070 cards in the low‑to‑mid 60s °C under gaming load on efficient designs; some reference Founders/compact coolers run hotter (mid‑70s). Gigabyte’s AORUS cooler variants generally target quieter fans and lower temps than FE designs.

Price — Poland and global snapshot

In Poland, AORUS RTX 5070 Master listings have been seen around ~3,499 PLN at major retailers, i bought mine few days ago for exacly 3050 polish zloty, which is amazing price, with other 5070 models ranging lower depending on cooler and length. The 5070 Ti historically launched higher (street prices often ~3,700–4,800 PLN for partner models) and has been subject to production cuts that pushed used/retail prices up in late 2025–2026. Globally, mid‑2025/2026 market trackers showed 5070 street prices near $600–$750 depending on region and stock, while Ti SKUs sat closer to the $749 launch territory and above when scarce.

Direct comparison: RTX 5070 AORUS vs RTX 5070 Ti

Model	VRAM	TDP	Typical Price (PLN)	Relative Performance
RTX 5070 AORUS Master	12 GB GDDR7	~220–240 W	~3,200–3,800 PLN	Great 1440p; efficient
RTX 5070 Ti (partner)**	16 GB GDDR7	~300 W	~3,700–4,800+ PLN	Higher fps, heavier power draw

Why the AORUS + Phanteks Enthoo Pro is a good combo

A full‑tower like the Phanteks Enthoo Pro offers superior airflow, multiple intake fans, and space for long triple‑slot coolers, which lets the AORUS cooler run quieter and at lower RPMs—translating to lower sustained temps and better acoustic comfort under load. In practice that means more headroom for mild overclocking and longer fan life.

Trade‑offs, risks, and final take

• Trade‑off: 5070 Ti gives higher raw performance but costs more and needs a stronger PSU and case airflow, most of the time you will need to buy worse than aorus cooling.

• Risk: Ongoing production cuts and GDDR7 shortages can spike prices or limit warranty options.

• Recommendation: If you game at 1440p and value efficiency, noise, and price/perf, the AORUS RTX 5070 Master is a solid, future‑proof choice—especially in a roomy, high‑airflow case like the Enthoo Pro. You can always also sell it in 2-3 years easily.
