Gainward Phoenix GeForce RTX 5070 Review

Gainward Phoenix GeForce RTX 5070 is a mainstream NVIDIA graphics card built on the Blackwell (GB205) architecture, with 12GB of GDDR7 memory, a 2532MHz factory-overclocked boost clock, and a 250W TDP.

Gainward is Palit's sister brand under the same parent company, and the Phoenix line is its everyday dual-fan workhorse, sized closer to a Founders Edition card than Palit's larger GamingPro. It's a good pick if you want a shorter, more case-friendly RTX 5070 without sacrificing a factory overclock, though like Palit, Gainward's US retail presence is thinner than the mainstream brands.

Overview

Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell (GB205) architecture, the Gainward Phoenix GeForce RTX 5070 pairs 6144 CUDA cores with 12GB of GDDR7 memory across a 192-bit bus, running a factory-overclocked 2532MHz boost versus the 2512MHz Founders Edition reference.

Cooling & Build

The Phoenix uses a compact dual-fan cooler at just 267mm long and a true 2-slot width, making it one of the more compact factory-overclocked RTX 5070 options in this catalog, closer in size to Founders Edition than the larger triple-fan cards from Palit or Inno3D.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against other RTX 5070 partner cards here, the Phoenix's 267mm length and 2-slot width match Founders Edition sizing closely, making it a strong fit for compact builds where Palit's 304mm GamingPro OC or Inno3D's Twin X2 OC won't fit. Buyers who want a larger, quieter cooler over compactness should compare against those two instead.
