Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti Launch Marred by Limited Stock and Price Markups

The $749 MSRP for Nvidia's new GPU is overshadowed by widespread availability issues and significant price increases from manufacturers and resellers.

Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti, part of its Blackwell GPU lineup, launched at an MSRP of $749 with advanced features like DLSS 4 and GDDR7 memory.
Retail availability has been a major issue, with many MSRP models selling out quickly and resellers listing cards at significantly higher prices.
Third-party manufacturers like MSI and Asus are pricing their custom versions of the RTX 5070 Ti as high as $1,000, a $250 markup from the base MSRP.
Critics have called out the price gouging, noting that premium versions of the card offer minimal performance or cooling improvements over MSRP models.
Nvidia's attempts to address scalping with programs like raffles for Founders Edition cards have so far been insufficient to meet demand or curb inflated prices.
