- Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti is supposedly occurring sale on February 20
- That is purportedly information gleaned instantly from Nvidia by a tech web site
- That date does align with some previous rumors, making it appear extra possible
Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti may very well be out on February 20, or that’s the newest discuss coming from the rumor mill, taken with the same old pinch of seasoning as ever.
VideoCardz has the inside track on this one, with the tech web site informing us that that is phrase from Nvidia itself, courtesy of the newest information on overview embargoes from Staff Inexperienced.
Clearly this should nonetheless be thought to be a rumor, however the concept is that critiques of the RTX 5070 Ti graphics playing cards which can be pitched at MSRP ($749 within the US, or £749 / AU$1,109) will arrive on February 19, and people above the MSRP stage will comply with the following day, with the GPUs all on cabinets on that very same day, February 20.
There’s an essential level to notice in regards to the RTX 5070 Ti, and that’s the truth that this graphics card received’t have a Founders Version from Nvidia, not like all the opposite GeForce Blackwell fashions which have been introduced to this point.
In different phrases, solely third-party RTX 5070 Ti graphics playing cards (from the likes of Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, PNY and Zotac) might be that can be purchased.
In response to VideoCardz, Nvidia initially supposed to launch these RTX 5070 Ti fashions on February 14, however that date was put again because of the Chinese language New 12 months (and presumably inventory issues therein).
All that Nvidia has formally stated is that the RTX 5070 fashions, each the vanilla and Ti graphics playing cards, are going to be out in February 2025.
Reinforcing previous rumors, and worries round RTX 5070 timing
It’s no shock to listen to that Nvidia is planning to unleash the RTX 5070 Ti later in February, as that is one thing we’ve caught wind of earlier than. Beforehand, there was some hypothesis a couple of mid-to-late February launch, earlier than a retailer really listed a February 20 launch date, as aired right here.
It’s additionally not shocking that the RTX 5070 Ti may flip up later subsequent month, given the rumors we’ve been listening to about inventory shortages – and there’s been quite a lot of that chat floating round. Such a weight, in actual fact, that it’s changing into simpler and simpler to consider that Nvidia can have points right here (and it’s not like this hasn’t occurred earlier than).
So, the hope with the RTX 5070 Ti is that, not like the rumors across the RTX 5080, we’ll really get a good quantity of graphics playing cards which can be priced on the MSRP (or at the least very near it).
The distinction with the RTX 5070 Ti is that, as famous above, there isn’t a Founders Version in place underlining the MSRP. So, you’d hope Nvidia might be pushing to make sure that its card making companions are going to have an appropriate number of 5070 Ti fashions at that MSRP, in any other case, properly, setting that really useful pricing stage begins to look a bit pointless (if everybody’s ignoring it).
Transferring from the hope, to the worry with the RTX 5070 Ti, that is that inventory goes to promote out lightning-quick, as we get the primary semi-affordable – a relative time period, in fact – Blackwell GPU really that can be purchased. Specifically, these graphics playing cards on the MSRP could disappear within the blink of a ray-traced eye, and we could also be ready for a while earlier than inventory ranges get beefed up a bit (given the inevitable worth scalping, too).
The opposite query is that if the RTX 5070 Ti is due on February 20, the place does that depart the RTX 5070? To be truthful, in concept the vanilla card may very well be shut behind, and because it’s grabbing extra curiosity than the 5070 Ti at the moment – as players will not be satisfied the 5070 Ti will present a convincing uplift over the 4070 Ti – that will pull the main focus from the Ti mannequin in brief order.
That is all guesswork naturally, actually the discuss across the RTX 5070 Ti wanting like a much less strong next-gen improve – that’s principally based mostly on a number of Nvidia efficiency graphs, the GPU’s specs, and drawing parallels based mostly on how the RTX 5090 panned out relative to its predecessor – and so these are notions we should always not get carried away with.
There are additionally some rumors that the RTX 5070 may be delayed to March 2025, although, and if there’s something to that specific smouldering hearth – with no point out of this GPU from Nvidia but, apparently – the RTX 5070 Ti may be the one possibility on the Blackwell mid-range desk for a short time. All as AMD seems to get into the sport with its RX 9070 fashions in March, though these GPUs have confronted loads of controversy of their very own.
Certainly, I’m unsure I can ever bear in mind a pre-launch interval for GPUs that has been so thick with rumors and oddities, than this present run-up to Blackwell and RDNA 4.
- Rumor has it AMD’s feeling the warmth from Nvidia’s RTX 5000 GPU launch costs – however a call on RX 9070 pricing have to be made quickly
- The tip of the Nvidia RTX 4000 sequence is nigh – with the RTX 4070 anticipated to promote out in weeks
- Nvidia releases stats that show DLSS and Body Era are right here to remain – sorry, indignant players
