Here we present power draw figures for the graphics card-only, on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1440p. This is measured using Nvidia's Power Capture Analysis Tool, also known as PCAT. You can read more about our updated power draw testing methodology HERE.

Per-Game Results at 1440p:

12-Game Average at 1440p:

At 1440p, we can still see average power draw coming in within 1W of the RTX 5080, which was not what I expected given the 5070 Ti has a TGP that's 60W lower than its sibling.

As you can see when directly comparing the 5070 Ti to the 5080 over the twelve games tested, there's very little to split the two cards – power draw is basically a match in all situations.

Ray tracing results

As a bonus, we now include the power figures for all eight games we test with ray tracing enabled.

8-Game ray tracing average:

With ray tracing at 1440p, the 5070 Ti pulls 276W on average – still just 7W behind the RTX 5080.
