Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti review: An RTX 4080 for $749, at least in theory

Nvidia's RTX 50-series makes its first foray below the $1,000 mark starting this week, with the $749 RTX 5070 Ti—at least in theory. The third-fastest card in the Blackwell GPU lineup, the 5070 Ti is still far from "reasonably priced" by historical standards (the 3070 Ti was $599 at launch). But it's also $50 cheaper and a fair bit faster than the outgoing 4070 Ti Super and the older 4070 Ti. These are steps in the right direction, if small ones.

Nvidia’s Big Plan to Beat Back RTX 5090 Scalpers Is the Same as Everybody Else’s

The markup on Nvidia’s $2,000 GeForce RTX 5090 and $1,000 RTX 5080 GPUs has reached new heights. Cards fly off store shelves as soon as they’re posted online, and then they end up on eBay and other reselling platforms at a 50% or 150% markup. Nvidia’s new plan to help you get an FE card for the base price involves entering your name in a raffle and hoping your name gets drawn out of a hat. Nvidia’s process is very simple.

The technology also brings Star Wars to mind, namely the moistur
