One retailer hints that RTX 5070 Ti cards are coming next week

Good luck if you’re trying to find one of Nvidia’s latest graphics cards. Retailers are so low on stock that they might be waiting months, and even the eBay scammers are getting metatextual. But if you’re okay with a less powerful model, at least one online store says that the RTX 5070 Ti should be arriving on February 20th. Get your camping gear ready, I suppose.

So sayeth TopAchat, a France-based electronics store that pins the launch of the RTX 5070 Ti for next Friday, spotted by VideoCardz.com. Retailers aren’t exactly the final word in product releases, and some just make up placeholder dates to prepare listings in advance, so take this with a grain of salt. But it’s also common enough that this is notable, and it lines up with the usual rollout of newly announced Nvidia cards.

Assuming the RTX 5070 Ti really does launch on February 20th — and again, that’s only an assumption — we’d still be waiting on the final RTX 5070 from Nvidia’s CES 2025 announcement. We’ve heard rumors of a more affordable RTX 5060 design, too.

The RTX 5070 Ti was announced with a $749 USD base price, $250 under the underwhelming RTX 5080 and $200 above the as-yet-unreleased RTX 5070. Of course, that’s only the price Nvidia is projecting. The actual price for a customized card from an OEM might be different, and that’s without factoring in any unforeseen bumps from retailers, adjustments for a trade war begun by the Trump regime, or — perish the thought — a gigantic middleman markup from scalpers and retailers.
