These examples are selected from prominent labs using the catalogue’s latest Hugging Face 30-day downloads and repository-creation freshness signal, with newer releases guaranteed a place. Offloaded rows assume 32 GB of system RAM, and a speed is only shown for a row that runs. Fitting in memory is not the same as loading: whether the runtime and version you have supports each architecture and format on this machine has not been tested here. Each “Open” link carries the same model, format, context and RAM into the calculator.
Fits entirely in NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti memory — 153 of 320 sized models
The most demanding model that fits is gpt-neox-20b at Q4_K_M: 15.7 GB of the 16 GB, leaving 0.25 GB spare.
Fully resident at 8,192 tokens (or the model’s own maximum, where that is shorter), offload off, at 896 GB/s. Each row is a run of the engine for this configuration; the rows start with current, prominent releases and “fits” is memory, not a tested runtime. Older or less prominent models remain available through this search and “Show all”.

Rent an RTX 5070 Ti by the hour
What the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti costs on Vast.ai and RunPod right now, per machine, from one card to eight. Every price is read from the provider's own API.
Buy one or rent one?
Your price, your hours, your electricity. Everything else is arithmetic.
Watts start at the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti’s published board power, an upper bound: decoding rarely holds a card at its limit. Rent starts at the cheapest live price (Vast.ai). The electricity price is a placeholder — put yours in.
At 4 h a day, renting costs $292.00 a year.
- That is $24.33 a month, and nothing when the machine is stopped.
- Owning would cost $127.75 a year in electricity, on top of the price.
- Every $1,000 of purchase price takes 6.1 years of this use to earn back.
Enter the price you would pay to see the exact break-even.
On-demand prices for the whole machine. Vast hosts below 98% measured reliability are left out; RunPod’s Community Cloud is vetted third-party hosts and its Secure Cloud is data-centre capacity. Every rentable card compared.
Referral links Vast.ai, RunPod and Novita pay us a share of what you spend if you sign up through these buttons. It costs you nothing, and it never decides an order or a recommendation: both are computed from the live price and the speed, and options that pay us nothing are listed and recommended on the same terms.

Caveats
- NVIDIA's comparison page does not publish a peak throughput figure for this card, so no compute roof is priced for it and time to first token is withheld.
Published capacity is a hardware ceiling, not guaranteed free runtime memory. The calculator shows the runtime reserve separately rather than folding it into a single number.
