NVIDIA 50 SERIES…

Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070 Ti launched today but sold out within an hour across all major US online retailers like Best Buy, Newegg, and B&H. Physical stores like MicroCenter might still have stock, but chances are slim. Resellers on platforms like Amazon and eBay are expected to list the cards soon at inflated prices.

This mirrors the earlier RTX 5080 and 5090 launches, with factors like pent-up demand (since the RTX 40-series debuted two years ago), high AI company demand, and limited Nvidia supply contributing to the scarcity. Some retailers predict restocks could take weeks or months.

Scalpers, price inflation on OEM cards, and economic factors like trade tariffs add to the frustration for PC gamers. Meanwhile, AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 series and upcoming lower-tier RTX 5050–5060 Ti cards might offer alternatives soon, along with Intel’s improving Arc GPUs.

For now, getting a 5070 Ti will likely require luck, patience, and a willingness to pay a premium.
