- A Redditor has received an RTX 5070 TI of third parties before launch on February 20
- This comes before his February 19 review embargo
- Recent reports suggest that the new GPU will suffer problems of similar actions seen with RTX 5090 and RTX 5080
The launch of the NVIDIA RTX 5000 GPU series has been a tangled issue, due to numerous problems such as the supply of limited retailers and the scale. Now, if it was not bad enough for Team Green, the RTX 5070 TI is just two days after its launch, but one of its third -party models unfortunately is already in nature.
Vidocardz, a Redditor states that they have already received the GPU ASUS RTX 5070 TI Prime OC, before the revision embargo and the real launch of the Founders Edition card, which are established for February 19 and February 20, respectively. The leaks and speculation that circulate around the new Blackwell GPUs are not exactly extraordinary, but a card really lands with a buyer days before launch is a fairly wild turn of the events.
While it may not be very harmful to launching RTX 5070 TI, they underline even more exactly how disorder of supply seen with the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, potentially leaving the resellers salivating once more.
The Redditor also mentioned paying more than the retail price, which is not a surprise: multiple online retailers currently have inflated prices for third -party cards RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, so despite the fact that the recipient probably paid more ( With the unexpected benefit of obtaining the RTX 5070 TI Early), there is a high possibility that the same price inflation for the 5070 family occurs.
It is probably better to continue with your RTX 4000 series GPU for now
Recognizing continuous problems with the availability of RTX 5000, the easiest solution is to continue with its RTX 4000 series GPU if you have one. If you are lucky that you can even find RADEON RX 7900 XTX third -party models of AMD (which is just a little weaker than the RTX 5080) at discount prices, or you could wait for the new RADEON RDM 9000 series of Team Red Red Red (assuming that they also do not receive the treatment of the Scalper).
The only disadvantage you can have with the flagship GPU of the RX 7000 series of Team Red is potentially no access to FSR 4. I say this with a lot of emphasis on ‘potentially’, since the improvement method may not end up being exclusive to the RX 9000 series forever.
While I am not minimizing the effectiveness of DLSS 4 with the generation of multiple frames in the new Blackwell GPUs, it simply is not worth paying excessively to pre-order any of the cards at this time. It is very likely that it will be reorganized for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs at some point (and probably the same once the 5070 family runs out), but who knows how long it will take.
At this time, if you have an RX 7900 XTX or the tastes of an RTX 4080 Super, be sure that you are not being lost …
