GeForce RTX 5070

[...] ...plus the recent price increases by AI companies, made me actually think the opposite: that there might be another additional "run" for memory and/or GPUs. Therefore, yesterday I decided to order an additional RTX 5060 with 16 GiB VRAM for the 500$ that I saved during the last months (to be added to the RTX 5070 12 GiB that I bought last year to play games in 4k + my old RTX 3060 12 GiB which I recycled a few months ago after noticing how nice it is to run llama.cpp locally without having to worry about subscription costs). [...]

Received the replacement Ryzen AI 8 HX 370 board on August 3. [...] Made sure there were no pending Windows updates, ran sfc and chkdsk to fix any errors they could, and both issues still persisted. Tried to run the standalone Nvidia driver installer (instead of trying to update through the Nvidia App), it fails at the first step (could not find compatible graphics hardware). [...] Now they want me to ship my laptop to their repair center to diagnose it directly and repair anything that might be broken. [...] And then they want me to be without my laptop for weeks for them to maybe fix something that they couldn’t just tell me to do? [...]

Received the replacement 12GB 5070 today, nothing is different. [...] Still can’t update to the latest Nvidia drivers through the Nvidia App. [...] I have a feeling that the first 12GB 5070 wasn’t defective, unless somehow the replacement is ALSO defective… going to add this to my open ticket with Framework.

I'm using 4x RTX 5070's and first-gen AMD threadripper (1950X) to run Qwen3.6 27B (MTP) Q6K with llama.cpp and it works great as a daily driver with Pi. [...] It's slower being a dense model but the quality seems much better. [...] When I fire up Pi, working with the model is very snappy at start. When I interact with the LLM via Hermes CLI, it's much slower. [...]

[...] A Framework lets me keep the same screen which is cool. [...] I hope they reach a scale where they can price things better, and I'm willing to pay some extra for what they do, but not as much as they currently charge. [...] Lenovo offers a model with a worse screen but otherwise the same specs for $600. [...] And if you want an RTX 5070 then Framework is $2500 and Gigabyte is $1350.

System: Framework 16 with AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 & NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Build 26200.8737 So, I upgraded to the 12GB version of the RTX 5070 earlier this week, and it had been working pretty good (aside from driver issues noted here). [...] So, I think that rules out it being an issue with the external display/cable. [...] Could I have accidentally pressed a key macro that disables the display? [...]

[...] My performance when using an RTX 5070 12GiB VRAM, Ryzen 7 9700X 8 cores CPU, 32GiB DDR5 6000MT (2 sticks): - "qwen2.5:7b": 128 tokens/second (this model fits 100% in the VRAM). [...] - qwen3.5:35b-a3b: 17 tokens/second, but it's highly unstable and crashes - currently not usable for me. [...] I would therefore deduce that the most important thing is the amount of VRAM and that performance would be similar even when using an older GPU (e.g. [...] Performance without a GPU, tested by using a Ryzen 9 5950X 16 cores CPU, 128GiB DDR4 3200 MT: - "qwen2.5:7b": 9 tokens/second - "qwen3:32b": 2 tokens/second - "qwen3:30b-a3b": 16 tokens/second

The readme opens with this: I have an RTX 5070 with 12 GB VRAM and I wanted to run glm-4.7-flash:q80, which is a 31.8 GB model. [...]

Setup was easier than I expected. I had it running locally in under 20 minutes, and the speed on my RTX 5070 is genuinely impressive.

[...] It’s built as it’s own backend and philosophy wise, I want my personal AI to connect to everything in my life and have complete context over all data that I own, be compiled into a neat stack of data accumulating, then when it thinks it’s appropriate to do/say something, it’ll do it without my involvement. Nice card btw, I got my RTX 5070 a couple months ago and it runs like a dream.

I’m also currently having similar issues. Type-C DP was working fine earlier today, went to reboot into Windows 11, and it stopped working, showing the exact same signs of “life” that you also had. It’s also still not working after booting back to Fedora 44. I hope that it also magically fixes itself? This is super annoying for me since I recently moved to my FW16 as my main computer (from an Intel Extreme Edition Nuc), so it’s really annoying that the Type-C DP port just stopped working out of nowhere. For ctx; I’ve got the 8GB version of the 5070 module, and I’m on a Ryzen 7040 series mainboard instead of the AI 300 series.

[...] I'm currently running those models using an RTX 5070 12GiB + RTX 5060 16GiB + RTX 3060 12GiB with a 96k context size with MTP/speculative decoding and I'm quite happy (the 5070 is about 4x faster than the 3060, the 5060 is inbetween them so about 2x faster than a 3060).

Nvidia on laptops? Insert the famous Linus Torvalds meme here I have an RTX 5070 (whatever the laptop variant is) and it absolutely rocks with almost everything I throw at it, running Ubuntu+Steam+Proton. I no longer worry whether a Windows game is going to run, because almost all of them do with good performance.

[...] I have a Ryzen 9800X3D with RTX 5070, 128GB of RAM and TBs of Gen 5.0 NVMes. [...]

I got the Costco deal but was very excited to see what she’s made of AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 12gb XPG lancer blade ddr5 32gb RAM MSI pro b650-VC mobo It’s been so long since I’ve had a new pc 😅 but it looks like an alright build

Having a single big fan cool a massive heatsink (that is hopefully very quiet) can legitimately a good reason to get this over building a typical SFF PC, which often runs hot and loud. It sorta reminds me of the trashcan Mac Pro. I myself have a sandwich style case with an RTX 5070 in it which is quite loud under load.

I bought a new graphics card (RTX 5070) for my birthday, but the card was too big for my case. Using a dremel and aviation shears, I mutilated my case and fit this monster of a graphics card.

I got a new PC for editing videos. Ryzen 9950X3D, 128Gb of RAM, multiple NVMe drives, GeForce RTX 5070. [...]

Next update… After further testing with with Framework support (creating a new Windows user to use DDU to clean the drivers then reinstall the latest BIOS and drivers package, testing the dGPU USB-C port to see if it would recognize a flash drive, setting the MUX to Nvidia Only, more photos of the inside of my laptop)… they now decided to replace my mainboard. So, next update when the new mainboard arrives.

[...] But I have a modest RTX 5070 12GB VRAM. [...]
