MSI RTX 5070 Ti GAMING TRIO OC+ & VANGUARD SOC Pricing Leaks Out in Europe: €1149+

[T0@st]

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.

It’s about the 5070Ti at $750 MSRP for the FE.

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.

I'm willing to pay 900 bucks for a 5090. 750 for the 5080. 500 for the 5070 Ti. 400 for the 5070.
No? Ok, then I'm willing to pay zero. That's how much business they'll get from me.

As this is turning out even if you, or anyone else, would pay in my opinion too high a price at MSRP, Nvidia would still actually loose money - by not making and selling a several $10K AI accelerator.

So the solution is simple.

These cards are produced in homeophatic quantities. Gamers can go play with their rain stick.

Not just crazy, stupid.

I’m sure they are heartbroken.

Is pretty clear now that the GPU yields for the 50*0 serie are abysmal. Nvidia should produce from at least 2 other manufacturers in order to have good availability. For now it seems they produced only 100 RTX 5090 cards so far, so this launch is by far, the worst from their history.

Seriously doubt that. It's made on basically the same process 40*0 were made for two years, and even that wasn't cutting edge process back then. TSMC is quite good at improving their yields.

At that price i wouldn't want anything less than a 5080

 

[starfals]

4070 ti is already 1000 euro here. 5070 ti will 100% cost more than 1000, probably more than 1100 even. New card, new greeds, AIB.. tax.. store tax.. there are too many things that work against a sane price. 5080 atm is 2500 euro. Like what?

 

[Bwaze]

This is absolutely insane.

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?
