NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Launch Postponed to October 29th
When NVIDIA introduced its Ampere consumer graphics cards, they launched three models - the GeForce RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090 GPUs. Both the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 have seen the light of the day as they are now available for purchase, however, one card has remained. The GeForce RTX 3070 launch was originally planned for October 15th launch, but it has officially been postponed by NVIDIA. According to the company, the reason behind this sort of delay in the launch is the high demand expected. Production of the cards is ramping up quickly and the company is quickly stocking up the cards. Likely, NVIDIA AIBs are taking their time to stock up on cards, as the mid-range is usually in very high demand.
As a reminder, the GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card features 5888 CUDA cores running at a base frequency of 1.5 GHz and boost frequency of 1.73 GHz. Unlike the higher-end Ampere cards, the RTX 3070 uses older GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with a bandwidth of 448 GB/s. The GPU features a TDP of 220 W and will be offered in a range of variants by AIBs. You will be able to purchase the GPU on October 29th for the price of $499.

3070 has 33% less shaders compared to 3080.
3080 costs 40% more than 3070.
3070 costs 29% less than 3080.
If the 3070 has similar performance to the 2080Ti, the 3080 will end up being 25-35 faster than the 3070 depending on the resolution while being 40% more expensive; so the 3070 will have better perf/dollar at the end of the day.
I really they'll lose badly to AMD's RDNA2, their prices are just ridiculous, since Turing nothing changed.
What country you from, doesn't seem to be USD.
Edit: it's about 760$. Stupidly you can get from the US taxed and deliveried for less, so it's nVidia's fault, plus AMD/Microsoft /Sony doesn't do that you can get their cards for similar prices.
Wait they are?
Unrelated, imagine having bought RTX2000 for ray tracing lol
1) Nvidia is telling the truth - they want to increase inventory across the board before launching in hopes to not be caught with their pants down again.
2) Nvidia is waiting to see what AMD has to offer (but I'm pretty sure they already know)...they only thing that might be iffy is what price point AMD is going to be offering things.
3) Nvidia doesn't have anything in the same price/performance category as what AMD is going to be releasing and they need time to adjust the 3070's drivers/performance and spin some PR magic make them "desirable".
4) Nvidia actually forgot to manufacture the 3070 and they're scrambling to get some ready.
