RTX 5070 Appears on Best Buy at MSRP — Asus Prime Listed for $549.99 Days Before Official Launch
The RTX 5070's early availability is a sign of relief for budget builders waiting for the latest GPU, offering them a chance to upgrade without breaking the bank. However, history suggests that these prices are unlikely to last long as supply and demand dynamics take hold. The launch of AMD's RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPUs has also created a competitive landscape that could drive mainstream gamers towards Team Red.
- The concurrent availability of multiple high-end GPUs on the same day may lead to a surge in sales, potentially resulting in shortages for both Nvidia and AMD models.
- Will the widespread adoption of these new GPUs lead to significant improvements in gaming performance, or will the increased competition result in stagnant frame rates?
