Just a day after the GPU's launch, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is retailing for over 2X the official MSRP set by NVIDIA.
While NVIDIA RTX 5090 isn't available at $2,000, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti definitely is
If you thought the $1,000 price tag for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti was high, wait until you find some cards going for the MSRP of RTX 5090. This is one of the most insane prices we have seen for the RTX 50 cards, which shows how some sellers or 'scalpers' are taking advantage of this situation.
Amazon, which is one of the largest retailers in the world, has revealed some crazy RTX 5070 Ti GPU listings. Contrary to what you would expect, the custom AIB editions for the card aren't crossing the $1,000 mark this time but a whopping $2,000. Take a look at the Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti Eagle OC ICE SFF listing. It's listed at a whopping $2,199 while the ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti OC Edition is priced at an unbelievable price tag of $2,379.
Thankfully, some sellers are 'generous' enough to not charge you that much. If you don't want to pay over $2,000 for the RTX 5070 Ti, then they are offering GPUs for as low as £1,387.17 or $1753.37 with tax included. The lowest you can pay is $1,699 for the Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti WindForce OC SFF edition and this is the same story for every other edition you can think of.
The GPU went out of stock instantly when launched, as if each retailer had no more than a couple of GPUs. This was seen worldwide as NVIDIA didn't supply enough GPUs to its board partners, making the RTX 5070 Ti case worse than the RTX 5080. The RTX 5070 Ti won't be available easily in the next several weeks, and we have seen retailers stopping pre-orders already.
In some regions, the situation is so bad that the card won't make it to the market even in the next month at some retailers. This marks the second half of 2025, despite the card launching in the first quarter. The RTX 5070 Ti isn't even that impressive to start with, and on top of that, the sky-high prices of the GPU make it totally nonsense.
If you are waiting for the GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5060/Ti GPUs, then you should probably prepare yourself for another paper launch. The GPUs are facing bugs and will need several more weeks to launch, as per a new report. At this point, the whole RTX 50 series launch has become one of the worst in GPU launch history.
