- A Redditor has received a third party RTX 5070 ten before launching on February 20
- This comes before February 19th Review of Embargo
- Recent reports suggest that the new GPU will suffer from similar stock problems seen with RTX 5090 and RTX 5080
NVIDIA’s RTX 5000 GPU series -launch has been a tangled affair due to several problems such as limited retailer supply and scalping. Now, if it wasn’t bad enough for Team Green already, the RTX 5070 ten is only two days away from the launch – but one of its third -party models is unfortunately already out of nature.
A Redditor discovered by Videocardz claims they have already received the ASUS RTX 5070 ten prime and gpu, before both the review Embargo and the actual launch of the Founders Edition card, which is set to February 19 and February 20 respectively. . Leakies and speculation circulating around the new Blackwell GPUs are not exactly something extraordinary, but a card that actually lands with a buyer days before launch is a pretty wild turn of events.
While it may not be highly harmful to the RTX 5070 TI’s launch, it precisely emphasizes how messy Team Green’s latest GPU launch has become – several reports highlighted by Videocardz suggest that the upcoming GPU could also face the same supply problems , seen with the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, which potentially leaves Scalper’s saliva again.
Redditor also mentioned to pay more than the retail price, which does not come as a surprise – more online dealers have currently inflated prices for third party RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 cards, so even though the recipient probably paid extra (with the unexpected advantage of getting RTX 5070 ten early ), there is a great chance that the same price inflation will occur for the 5070 family.
It’s probably best to stick to your RTX 4000 -Serie GPU for now
Recognizing the ongoing problems with RTX 5000 Accessibility, the easiest solution is to stick to your RTX 4000 series GPU if you have one. If you’re lucky enough, you can even find third -party models of AMDS RADEON RX 7900 XTX (which is only slightly weaker than RTX 5080) at reduced prices, or you can just wait for Team Red’s new Radeon RX 9000 Series Lineup (provided they don’t gets the Scalper treatment too).
The only disadvantage you may have with Team Red’s RX 7000 series Flagship GPU is potentially no access to FSR 4 -I say this with great emphasis on ‘potential’ as the upscaling method may not end up being exclusive for the RX 9000 series Forever.
Although I do not neglect the effectiveness of DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation on the new Blackwell GPUs, it is just not worth the trouble to pay too much to pre-order any of the cards at this time. There will be more than likely reviving for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs at some point (and probably the same when the 5070 family sells out), but who knows how long it will take.
Right now, if you own a RX 7900 XTX or similar as an RTX 4080 Super, you can be sure you won’t miss …
