Thereβs a new rumor regarding the world of graphics cards, hinting that the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti sale date could be February 20. This information comes from a European retailer, Proshop, which has put up the dates for several 5070 Ti cards from brands such as Asus and MSI.
Nvidia has not indicated specifically when it plans to launch the RTX 5070 Ti. The more powerful variation of the two mid-tier Nvidia GPUs was expected to launch around the same time as the RTX 5070, but Proshop hasnβt listed dates on any 5070 cards on its site.
What has been given the February 20 date are various Asusβ cards, including its TUF Gaming range. MSI and Gigabyte have also had the dates applied to them across their variations too.
Retailers will often put a date as a placeholder depending on how their system works. However, Proshop doesnβt appear to have anything like that on any other unreleased GPUs.
Even smaller brands like Gainward, Inno3D, and Palit have the dates attached. The listing also details the time of release at 3pm, which lines up with the time new hardware like this often ends up on sale in European regions.
The upcoming GPU is set to be priced at $749, $50 cheaper than its previous generationβs equivalent. However, with stock issues persisting across the board in the GPU and CPU world right now, it could end up with a much higher price than anticipated. The Intel Battlemage B580 has seen its budget $249 price jump by $100 or more on leading US storefronts like Newegg.
While the RTX 5070 Ti and 5080 are gearing up for launch, in our RTX 5090 review we found it doesnβt quite live up to its potential due to its exuberant $2,000 price tag and lackluster performance on non-ray traced games. Weβll just have to wait and see if the half-step 5070 Ti is worth its $200 price increase over the weaker 5070.
