NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, AI & Machine Learning Benchmarks & Specs

8GB · AI Score 1.7/100 · anchored estimate vs 51 measured cards

1.7 AI Score Includes estimates

We have not run NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti on our bench. These figures are anchored estimates, interpolated per workload against the 51 GPUs we did measure (confidence: moderate). On Llama 3.1 8B (Q4_K_M) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti should deliver about 46.6 tokens/sec. Llama 3.3 70B does not fit. It needs roughly 42GB and this card has 8GB. For image generation, SDXL should run near 0.53 it/s, while FLUX.1-dev won't fit at BF16 (needs ~26GB). 9 of the 12 workloads won't fit on 8GB at the tested precision, Qwen2.5-Coder 14B, Qwen3 32B, Llama 3.3 70B, Z-Image Turbo and others. We publish those as hard gates rather than quietly dropping to a smaller quant.

How this estimate is derived. This card hasn’t been through our bench yet, so its numbers are anchored estimates, interpolated from the 51 first-party measured cards (Bandwidth Theil-Sen ladder off NVIDIA anchors × vendor factor (LLM ×1.0, diffusion ×0.3); realistic VRAM floors). The VRAM “won’t fit” gates are exact, since they’re pure capacity limits. Confidence: moderate. Estimates are replaced with measured data as more silicon goes through the bench. Full methodology →

Verdict, capable, but 8GB sets the ceiling

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti scores 1.7/100, #97 of 102. It ran 3 of 12; 9 exceeded its 8GB. Figures are anchored estimates, not measurements, we flag that on every row.

The silicon

Transistors7,200 million
Die size314 mm²
Fabricated byTSMC
Transistor density22.9 million per mm²

Denser than 7% of the 76 cards we have silicon data for. Density is the clearest measure of what a process node bought: a card that gained it without growing the die got its speed from the fab rather than the architecture.
