Nvidia RTX 5070: Where to Buy

The most budget-friendly Blackwell GPU from Nvidia - the GeForce RTX 5070 - officially launches today with an attractive MSRP of $549.99. This marks Nvidia's fourth 50-series release following the RTX 5080 and 5090 launch in January and the RTX 5070 Ti in February. While Founder's Edition models won't be available until later this month, third-party variants should be available immediately at select retailers.

Inventory Challenges Expected

Similar to previous RTX 50-series launches, supply shortages may plague this release. Retailers are already warning about limited stock, and recent Nvidia GPU launches have been hampered by bots that purchase bulk quantities for resale at inflated prices. If you find one available, act quickly. Prebuilt PCs featuring the RTX 5090 may offer better availability for those seeking alternatives.

Important Note: Inventory situations may vary. You might find all models sold out across retailers - don't be surprised.

Purchase Strategy

Retailer inventories remain uncertain. Your best approach is monitoring multiple sites and completing checkout on the first available option. Consider these retailer insights:

Best Buy

Often has Founder's Editions available first. Regional availability varies, and shipments typically arrive quickly.

Newegg

Offers the widest selection of third-party models. Also sells bundle packages that may last longer than standalone cards.

Nvidia Store

Typically sells out instantly but sometimes offers priority to registered customers.

Amazon

Search carefully to avoid marketplace resellers. Only purchase from Amazon directly.

Micro Center

Best option for in-store purchases if you live near a location.

Our Verdict

The RTX 5070 delivers solid 1440p performance but faces tough competition from previous-generation cards. Its new Multi Frame Generation technology benefits high-refresh monitors, though the upgrade value may not justify the cost for all users.
