MSI RTX 5070 Ti GAMING TRIO OC+ & VANGUARD SOC Pricing Leaks Out in Europe: €1149+
European PC hardware retailers are readying themselves with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti partner models, ahead of the GPU's freshly scheduled launch on February 20. Tech news sites and industry watchdogs have already sniffed out preliminary pricing; courtesy of accidental listings of MSI custom card designs in France and Austria. We are more than a week away from GeForce RTX 5070 Ti release day, so speculative price points are subject to change. The Austrian arm of MediaMarkt was quick to correct matters after an accidental leak, and proceeded to remove an MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GAMING TRIO OC PLUS product page from its webstore. VideoCardz managed to preserve fundamental details, prior to MediaMarkt AT's de-listing of the offending item. The card's alleged €1169 asking price has raised Central European eyebrows—factoring in the region's customary VAT, we are looking at an approximate 32% increase over NVIDIA's baseline MSRP (€884). It should be noted that a Founders Edition does not exist in Team Green's upper-mid "Blackwell" GPU segment.
MSI's price point for its GeForce RTX 5070 Ti VENTUS 3X OC PLUS card is expected to reside closer to Team Green's recommendation, but this barebones offering sits within the company's "entry-level" product tier. The manufacturer's GAMING TRIO OC PLUS range tends to slot right into middle of product hierarchies—provisioned RGB lighting, larger heatsinks and miscellaneous fancy features often demand an upcharge at retail. Tomasz Gawroński (aka GawroskiT) happened upon additional MSI listings in France; an unnamed e-tailer has priced the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GAMING TRIO OC PLUS at €1149 (€20 cheaper than MediaMarkt AT). The upper crust MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti VANGUARD SOC LIMITED EDITION model demands that French customers part way with €1199, for the pleasure of ownership.

This is pretty much what I expected for the AIB 5070Tis.
At least in my EU country $750 converted to Euro and add 24% VAT gets you around 900€.
Add the AIB premium and hype for these GPUs I don’t expect to see any AIB 5070Ti below 1100€. At least not the first few months.
On the same subject, if the 9070XT starts at $600 MSRP they could end up 800-850€ here.
If performance is on par with 5070Ti at -250€ it could be something.
No? Ok, then I'm willing to pay zero. That's how much business they'll get from me.
So the solution is simple.
These cards are produced in homeophatic quantities. Gamers can go play with their rain stick.
How much will you have to spend to buy something better than, let's say, RTX 3080, a card that came out 4 and a half years ago? Will RTX 5070 even beat it - it will be barely faster than RTX 4070, and that one is slower?
So if you got an RTX 3080 for close to MSRP in 2020 or 2021, there is absolutely no chance you can top it in 2025 for about the same money? And even if you spend 30% more, you will still just be about even?
What kind of PC dystopia are we actually living in?
Censoring opinions you do not like is a sign of mental weakness. I'd work on that if I were you.
(hint, it does not)Unless they're talking about their teddy bear..
When greed and callous GREED is what drives a company, I think we have the right not to just name call them, but to standardize this , same as Velcro tapes, Scotch bands, etc.
nGreedia should be the de facto.
You and I are not the only ones who think this way...
Jay is too much of a coward to come out and just say it, he gets 10's of thousands of dollars of free stuff from them and doesn't want to risk losing it, but he gets close sometimes when it's kind of demanded. I'm hearing many YouTubers are getting lots of Shh from subscribers over their over-positive nGreedia coverage, when factually this generation is awful in just about every respect.
So many videos with YouTubers with 5090's and 5080's in their rigs and reviewing them based on fake lower prices! Now people are starting to get annoyed.
