Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti Launches Next Thursday for $750 – What to Expect
If you’re wondering when you’ll finally be able to buy a new Nvidia graphics card, you’re not alone—retailers don’t seem to have a solid answer either. However, if you’re specifically looking forward to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, you won’t have to wait much longer. Nvidia has officially confirmed that the RTX 5070 Ti will launch next Thursday, aligning with previous leaks about its release date.
Priced at $750 for the base model, the RTX 5070 Ti sits $250 below the RTX 5080 and $200 above the upcoming RTX 5070, which still lacks an official release date. While this positioning makes it a premium mid-range option, its specifications could justify the price hike.
What Makes the RTX 5070 Ti Stand Out?
The RTX 5070 Ti comes with 16GB of GDDR7 memory, which is 4GB more than the standard RTX 5070. This boost in VRAM, combined with a higher memory bandwidth of 896 GB/s (compared to 672 GB/s on the 5070), could make a notable difference in 4K gaming and AI-driven workloads. Additionally, the 5070 Ti is expected to deliver nearly 50% more AI TOPS than its non-Ti counterpart, making it a better choice for users interested in generative AI, upscaling technologies like DLSS 3.5, and future-proofing their setup.
Availability Challenges & Pricing Concerns
Getting your hands on an RTX 5070 Ti might not be easy. Both the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 sold out almost instantly upon release, and scalpers have been quick to exploit demand. The situation might be even trickier for the 5070 Ti because Nvidia isn’t offering a Founder’s Edition, meaning buyers will have to rely on OEM partners. This could lead to higher price markups, additional tariffs, and possible stock shortages, pushing prices beyond the expected $750 MSRP.
For those waiting on alternatives, AMD is gearing up to launch its Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT early next month. These GPUs are expected to compete directly with the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti, potentially giving gamers more choices at similar price points.
With the RTX 5070 Ti’s release just days away, all eyes are now on availability, performance benchmarks, and how quickly stock will vanish once the card hits shelves.
