NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Goes on Sale - Screenshots Document How Quickly they Sold Out
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, the company's third graphics card from its GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" generation, started selling. Although it comes with a starting price of $750, there are very few models actually at the price, which are marked up by retailers. Premium custom-design cards by NVIDIA add-in card (AIC) partners are priced as much as 33% higher than the baseline, even crossing the $1,000-mark in some cases, which are further scalped by another 20%. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is on paper a performance-segment GPU recommended by NVIDIA for 1440p high refresh-rate gaming, although it's capable of 4K Ultra HD with nearly maxed out settings or DLSS.
The RTX 5070 Ti is based on the same 5 nm "GB203" silicon as the RTX 5080, with 70/84 streaming multiprocessors (SM), across 6/7 GPCs enabled, along with 48 MB out of the 64 MB of on-die L2 cache. These work out to 8,960 CUDA cores, 280 Tensor cores, 70 RT cores, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The memory configuration is largely carried over from the RTX 5080, with 16 GB of 28 Gbps GDDR7 across a 256-bit wide memory bus (the RTX 5080 uses slightly faster 30 Gbps memory). The GPU ticks at 2452 MHz boost, and is given a total graphics power (TGP), a de facto power limit, of 300 W.
Check out our six reviews of the card: MSI RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC+ | MSI RTX 5070 Ti Vanguard SOC | ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti OC | Palit RTX 5070 Ti GameRock OC | MSI RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X OC | Galax RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC

Not going to buy an overpriced, non-MSRP card. Not going to buy a 9070 which was supposed to have been released back in January, either.
Eh, perhaps I'll scour eBay for a 4060 Ti 16Gb at decent price, to use as a stop gap until the next nVidia/AMD generations on smaller nodes ♂️
But I'm simply loathe to validate incompetence. Nvidia has been, and is currently doing a lot of crooked shit - but this year, in my view, the Azor's Boys are by far the worst. There is absolutely no way I'm going to reward their clownery.
Interesting also plenty of 4070TI left around in stock, also for the same price as 5070TI, make it make sense ?
It's another case of Nvidia deliberately launching with very little stock, to support prices at these nosebleed levels a bit longer...
I could have snagged one but had no idea which model would want.
Alternate.de was sold out after 48seconds.......in some cases reviewers had more card than some stores :D
So, in the dGPU department, I was rooting for AMD because I didn't like the Leather Swindler's shenanigans.
Then I witnessed AMD's meltdown at CES and their pathetic communication (or lack thereof) around it. The monumental loss of opportunity.
That's when I decided that I'd rather contribute to the Jacket Fund than to the Clown Fund. For this generation at least. With the added benefit of better compatibility in ML tasks.
But with the continuous crapshow, I'm putting my upgrade plans on hold.
In parallel, I'll be looking forward to Intel's potential announcements this year, and also to products based on AMD's Strix Halo (a nice piece of engineering that's commercially released as soon as it's available, wow, would you look at this !).
There's also nothing exciting about a card with the same price and performance as the 4080/s which was available for the last 18 months. Just fomo and greed from the scalpers, combined with nvidia deliberately not launching with volume.
