NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti is becoming a tough GPU to grab for gamers over in North America. If you were hoping to snag one around launch MSRP, you’re now looking at doubling your cost. In our eyes, this rise can be directly attributed to limited availability and a high demand for the 16GB VRAM version of the card.
Supply constraints drive RTX 5070 Ti prices to $1,500
NVIDIA launched this graphics card with an MSRP of $749. Today’s market price for certain models ranges from $1339.99 to $1499.99. That’s a jump of more than 100 percent in the span of a few weeks.
Specifications
- VRAM: 16GB
- Launch MSRP: $749
- Current Market Price (Low): $1339.99
- Current Market Price (High): $1499.99
The main cause for these inflated prices seems to be limited supply. The shortage of VRAM chips means NVIDIA and partners can’t get too many cards out into the market. Because of this bottleneck, we’re dealing with a scarcity issue that inflates prices for all major retailers.
Looking at some individual models, the ASUS TUF GAMING OC is listed at $1499.99. This price is double the MSRP of the card. Other models like the Gigabyte AERO OC and ASUS PRIME OC are all being listed between $1339.99 and $1399.99.
Neither NVIDIA nor ASUS have responded to the rumor of discontinued status. They are confirming that regular shipments are being sent out despite this shortage.
We have followed the RTX 5070 Ti closely. From the Acer Helios 16 Warranty Swap Upgrades scenario to now. What we’re seeing is that the current market price of RTX 5070 Ti is sitting at a premium and higher than the value proposition intended.
If you’re looking to get your hands on this GPU, be ready to shell out a lot more than the launch price. The RTX 5070 Ti market has found its feet at a price point close to $1500 for a top-tier model.
