NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti vs NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti for local LLMs

1 report on the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti and 30 on the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti

Which is faster for local LLMs?

Nobody has reported the same model at the same quant on both cards yet, so there's no measured head-to-head. Memory bandwidth, which caps how fast a card can write, is 1.8x higher on the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (504 GB/s on the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti, 896 on the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti). The estimates below compare them on the models people run most.
