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

[_roman_]

Certain gpu ranges have certain prices. I'm also not fond of those prices.

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

We 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?

Seems about right.

I mean, what did people expect?

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

This not the same case with AMD 9070 series. Where retailers put any price in for a place holder. But still probably should just make the price 0. But I guess they live getting a reaction out if the public.
