This is a tear-down and disassembly of the RTX 5070 Founders Edition. NVIDIA's RTX 5070 is a GPU you shouldn't buy right now. Aside from the marketing lies, the positioning of it makes it hardly any different from a 4070 Super. AMD's RX 9070 XT and 9070 launch reviews later today (when this video posts), so we'll talk more about value there. For all the many faults of the 50 series, the thermal design and mechanical design of the FE cards have both improved dramatically since prior launches. Credit where it's due there. Now if only they'd stop lying on stage about the gaming performance.

We would advise waiting to buy a GPU until the 9070 series also launches so that you have the full picture.
