NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AIB Card Listed Online for $1,212

The NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti gaming GPU is expected to be available starting February 20, although whether gamers are going to be able to purchase one anytime soon is a different story entirely. That said, a recent listing on an Austrian retailer's website has revealed the pricing details for the MSI RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio card - a cool €1169 (inclusive of 19% VAT), roughly equivalent to $1212. Compared to NVIDIA's official pricing for the RTX 5070 Ti in most parts of the EU, a 33% increase in price can be observed. Of course, the MSI GAMING TRIO is quite a high-end card, but the price delta is quite surprising regardless. Depending on supply, the prices may further inflate, if the events of the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launch are repeated.

The RTX 5070 Ti is expected to boast 8690 CUDA cores paired with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus. Recent leaks have hinted at very mediocre performance improvements, similar to what we witnessed with the RTX 5080. As of this writing, there seems to be a decent possibility that the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT will beat the RTX 5070 family, not just in raster performance, but also in value. Of course, since NVIDIA is clearly going to fire first, gamers will not have much of a choice before RDNA 4 hits the scene. That said if the RTX 5070 series witnesses similarly atrocious availability at launch as its siblings, a lot of folks will have no option but to wait.

The ebay listing is what matters. this is now a price to negotiate with the scalpers and then the real price can manifest.

oxrufiioxoWe already know gamers will fail that test.


Lets be real though people in 2025 no longer think 1000 usd is a lot for a graphics card. 2 years of shortages and then a generally poorly priced generation have reconditioned people. The 5080 was meh AF and even the 1500+ models evaporated instantly which is a joke for that level of performance but people think otherwise I guess in 6 months we will know for sure.
Here in EU there are quite a lot of RTX 5080 available for 1650 EUR, which is about $1500 + VAT. Even locally shops that got cards in a first couple of days and priced them “realistically” haven’t sold them - some are now even offering pre-sales of basic models at much lower prices - about 1350 EUR, which is only MSRP + VAT + 100 EUR. So I think situation isn’t as dark, people aren’t crazy.

But maybe markets here are different, people aren’t buying these cards for home LLM / AI / content creation acceleration here.

But of course tarrifs might change all that here.

I think that is a betrayal and I'm sure I wont be getting any cards this year or next if the prices will not go down. If AMD releases $600 card that is OK but if scalpers get those and prices skyrocket again, I still blame the company not the scalpers. So it will be betrayal again. Next one up is Intel and we will see how things develop.

I don't think there's any "betrayal". Nvidia has other orders to fulfil - AI accelerators. AMD has other orders to fulfil - server CPUs.

So products that have lesser margins are of course less important, and won't be made in large quantities.

They sell well, like AMD 9800X3D? Well, the price must go up, there's only small number being made. GPU starts to sell well? Guess what will happen to price?

It would be nice if they completely removed any incentive for scalping, like some sort of progressive "scalper tax"
