Although the MSRP for this card is $979.99, it's actually about $100-$150 higher than its expected price. A reference GeForce RTX 5070 Ti card should retail for $750. Gigabyte's WindForce triple fan cooling system adds around $50 to the price, and the overclocked out-of-the-box design adds another $50, bringing the expected price to about $850—roughly $120 less than the current listing.
Third-party manufacturers like Gigabyte, MSI, and Asus are capitalizing on the high demand by marking up prices from the start. Finding another RTX 5070 Ti GPU at this price or lower is challenging, with most selling for over $1,000 on eBay.
Among the Blackwell cards released so far, the RTX 5070 Ti offers the best value, especially when compared to the previous generation GPUs. It performs comparably to the RTX 4080 Super and even outshines the RTX 5080, which is only about 10%-15% faster but costs 33% more. This GPU delivers high framerates in nearly all games, even at 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled. For those considering using this card for AI tasks, the RTX 5070 Ti might be a better value than the RTX 50870, as both come equipped with 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM.
"At $749, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the best 4K graphics card for most people, delivering much better value than either the RTX 5080 or 5090. Across my entire test suite, this GPU excelled at 4K, coming close to much more expensive graphics cards. And that's before considering multi-frame generation, which will make the RTX 5070 Ti even better at achieving extremely high framerates, albeit with a slight increase in latency."
