NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AIB Models Now Available at MicroCenter; Prices Soar Over $1,000 With Just One Model Priced At MSRP

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AIB models are now being listed by MicroCenter, revealing that nearly all variants are priced above the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP).

Struggles to Acquire NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 Ti at MSRP

The release of NVIDIA’s next “mainstream”GPU, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, seems poised for a scenario reminiscent of previous RTX Blackwell launches. Multiple listings on MicroCenter indicate that the prices for the RTX 5070 Ti have soared as high as $1, 009.99, with only a single model listed at the suggested MSRP of $749. This price disparity makes it increasingly challenging for consumers to purchase the card at a reasonable price. Below is a summary of the models available along with their respective retail prices:

MSI GeForce RTX 5070 The Gaming TRIO PLUS: $979.99
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming: $969.99
MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti VENTUS 3X: $909.99
MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti INSPIRE 3X PLUS: $939.99
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti EAGLE ICE SFF: $899.99
ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 The TUF Gaming: $999.99
PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: $750.00
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AERO: $979.99
MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti VANGUARD SOC LAUNCH EDITION: $1, 009.99
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti MASTER: $999.99
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti EAGLE SFF: $899.99
ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 Ti PRIME: $899.99

Notably, the only model reflecting the intended MSRP is the PNY variant, which likely includes basic design and overclocking features. The rest of the mid-range and premium models are considerably overpriced, hinting that inflated launch prices are becoming a trend for NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series.

At this point, it remains uncertain how much inventory will be available for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. However, during the initial launch period, anticipation suggests that stock will be limited, potentially leading to frequent out-of-stock situations. Consumers eager to purchase these mid-range RTX 50 GPUs may need to exercise patience as supply chains gradually stabilize, a process expected to unfold over several weeks or even months.

The official launch of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is anticipated on February 20, prompting retailers like MicroCenter to begin showcasing their listings.
