Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070, the first budget-friendly Blackwell GPU, is finally here, boasting the most attractive price yet in the 50-series lineup at $549.99. Following the January releases of the RTX 5080 and 5090, and February's RTX 5070 Ti, this is Nvidia's fourth 50-series card. While the Founder's Edition arrives later this month, third-party cards should be available now.
Unfortunately, Nvidia's history with the RTX 50 series suggests potential inventory issues. Retailers have already warned of shortages, and past launches have been plagued by bots snapping up large quantities for resale at inflated prices. If you're ready to buy and lucky enough to find one in stock, don't hesitate.
TLDR; This article assumes, but doesn't guarantee, RTX 5070 availability. Be prepared for potential sellouts.
