ERNIE-Image on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti run ERNIE-Image?

Yes, it runs well (encoder in RAM)

Runs well (encoder in RAM). At FP8 it needs about 10.6 GB of 16.0 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 33 s.

Best precision: FP8
Memory mode: Text encoder offloaded
Time per image: 33 s
Output: 1024×1024, 50 steps

How it’s rated

Quality 86Excellent quality (A+) · 86 of 100: how capable the model is at FP8, whatever it runs on. Match score 82/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at FP8, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs wellencoder in RAM: How well it runs on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	38.8 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.	20.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	8.2 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	15.0 / 15
Match score	82.0 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
