Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card
$979.99 at Amazon
While the listed price of $979.99 matches the MSRP, it's worth noting that this card is actually priced higher than its ideal value. A reference GeForce RTX 5070 Ti should ideally retail at around $750. The premium on the Gigabyte model can be attributed to its WindForce triple fan cooling system, which typically adds about $50, and the fact that it's overclocked right out of the box, which might add another $50. This brings the expected price to around $850, making the current price about $120 higher than anticipated.
Unfortunately, due to high demand, third-party manufacturers like Gigabyte, MSI, and Asus are marking up their prices from the start. You'll be hard-pressed to find another RTX 5070 Ti GPU at this price or lower, as they're generally selling for over $1,000 on platforms like eBay.
The RTX 5070 Ti GPU Has Excellent 4K Gaming Performance
Among the Blackwell series, the RTX 5070 Ti stands out as the best value option, especially when compared to previous generation GPUs. It delivers performance comparable to the RTX 4080 Super and even outperforms the RTX 5080 by a significant margin, considering the latter is only 10%-15% faster but costs 33% more. This GPU excels at providing high framerates in nearly all games, even at 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled. For those considering AI applications, the RTX 5070 Ti might offer better value than the RTX 50870, as both come equipped with 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"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 soared at 4K, coming within striking distance of much more expensive graphics cards, and that’s before taking multi frame generation into account, which will make the RTX 5070 Ti even better at hitting extremely high framerates, albeit with a hit to latency."
