very good.What I like about this graphics card:
-Value for money: You won't find a TUF OC card for the base price, but the quality justifies the cost. It feels like a solid brick—heavy and sturdy, built to last forever. The sheer quality makes the price feel fair.
-Performance: Absolutely crushes 1440p gaming. Everything is buttery smooth on max settings with DLSS 4.0. It's fast enough for 4K too, but you definitely have to lean on the AI features (DLSS and Frame Generation) to get the best experience there. This card's sweet spot is 1440p, where it truly excels.
-Thermals and Noise: This massive TUF cooler is the real winner. My old card was loud, but this one rarely goes above 65°C and the fans are whisper quiet. The 0dB fan tech is fantastic for quiet desktop use. Silence is golden.
-Design: The TUF look is sleek and industrial. The RGB lighting is subtle, not flashy. It is massive, though—a three-slot card—so measure your case first!
All in all, there are a few minor things to note (like its huge size and the 12GB VRAM feeling slightly limited in some extreme 4K scenarios), but I absolutely love this card. It's tough, cool, quiet, and delivers performance where it counts. I give it a 9.5/10!

I absolutely love this graphics car! Runs amazing not to loud keeps cool under high stress games and is an absolute monster for gaming! I would recommend this to anyone especially for the price its goes for.

Despite the reviews, This guy does really well! I like the DLSS 4 and the 4x Frame Gen feature, and the only downside that matters to me is the latency in doing so. It's fine for single player story games, but might not be ideal for competitive online games.

Ive been building custom gaming pc's for over 25yrs now and i have to say this is one of the best graphics cards ive ever owned hands down.
Coming from a rog strix 4060 oc to this was a night and day difference.
Subtle rgb lighting and a sleek design give any custom built pc a beautiful addition.
Overall very happy with the purchace, no problems thus far.

This card was my replacement for my 1080 Ti bought in 2017. No comparison! Runs great and even allows me to run max settings on Star Citizen.
Asus customer support is also top notch. Best buy so far this year!

Beast of a GPU! This thing handles modern games with ease. Ultra quiet as well and the tuff series feels so sturdy and rigid! For the price you are getting a monster GPU for years to come.

tl;dr:
I'm an old curmudgeon that feels things were better "back in my day," but given current market conditions, I don't think I can ask for much more. As a product without the issue of cost, I have no complaints. This is a good graphics card for someone that wants a high refresh rate 1080p or 60 FPS 2560x1440 card.
As something I have to trade money for, I'm whelmed. Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed, just...whelmed. If it is available at something close to MSRP, you should buy a 9070XT.
Noise:
No complaints. Coming from my 6700XT, I notice no more noise, and that was also a quiet card. I usually game with headphones, but even when using speakers I do not hear fans ramp up any significant amount. You would expect noise and temps would be reasonable with a cooler this large, which leads me to...
Size:
Do not assume your case will accept a card this large. Look at the spec of your case and this card. I have a Corsair Air 540, and this thing DOMINATES the case. This is not a small case, so I assumed I would have no issues fitting even the largest of GPUs inside...I had to move the front fans to the "outside" under the plastic fascia because this graphics card would not fit. That is my fault, specs are listed and they seem accurate. Still, be aware this is not a card for small cases (unless designed with that in mind). In addition, this case does not mount the PSU in the "basement," and because of the weight, you will want to use some sort of GPU support. The included support is about an inch too short for my system configuration. If you have a dual chamber case and mount the GPU in the upper PCIe slot, you may also have this issue depending upon the exact dimension of your case.
Performance:
As expected, if not a bit better. I've been at 2560x1440 for over a decade now, and in everything I have played so far (Marvel Rivals, AC:Shadows, Gears 5) I have been between 45-60 FPS with settings cranked, and bumping against CPU (R5-5600x) limitations with settings reduced. You should be able to find a good balance of visual fidelity and framerates in everything except the most demanding of games. There have been reports of system and game crashes, but I expect that will level out over time.
Value:
As someone that came of age seeing Moore's law being smashed year after year, I have an expectation of performance increases while pricing stays relatively consistent. That standard seems to be dead. Again, I've been a 1440p gamer for some time now. Despite the GTX 670 being "a lot" for a college student, it did not really feel like it was a stretch, and at the time that card was able to provide all the performance I really needed for about 3 years when I jumped ship to a GTX970, which again provided years of performance.
With the 5070, the performance is there, but this doesn't feel like the 670 or 970 where they felt like powerhouses that took everything I threw at them and made me wonder if I bought too much graphics card. Instead this just feels like I bought the right tool for the job.
To provide some context, this card is more than double the cost of the 670 and 970, but is still similar in performance when you compare those cards to their performance in contemporary games, but while 1440 was almost unheard of in 2012 (Steam hardware survey says it was .72% of systems in May 2012), it is a far more common resolution in 2025 (19.06%).
Yes, inflation is a thing, I understand that. But $800 for an upper midrange card is too much in my opinion.

The ASUS TUF RTX 5070 has been great so far. It's cool, quiet, and handles everything I've thrown at it with ease. Temps stay low even during heavy gaming sessions, and the build quality feels really solid. Definitely happy with the upgrade!

Card works as designed and performs well in the latest games. No issue installing. Comes with GPU stand to prevent damage from weight of card over time. Nice low key RGB light on card as well
