Where to buy Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti: I'm expecting stock here first - but you'll need to be fast

To absolutely nobody's surprise, and as was the case for the RTX 5080 and 5090 before it, nearly all stock for the RTX 5070 Ti has been scooped up and accounted for on the first day.

While you probably won't have much luck getting a standalone GPU until retailers restock (stay tuned!), you do still have some options for prebuilt PCs and gaming laptops from retailers like Newegg and B&H Photo. These options aren't exactly budget-friendly, but they do offer a chance at the latest hardware in a professional, pre-planned and fully compatible build, oftentimes with a warranty as an added layer of protection.

One key question some shoppers may be asking is this: should I get an RTX 5070 Ti, or just wait for the regular 5070?

For some PC gamers, this might be an answer as simple as ‘do I have an extra two hundred bucks’, but for those who could spring for the 5070 To but are uncertain, it's a much harder decision. Personally, I want to say that the 4070 Ti Super-beating performance makes it a sure bet, but we're still a few weeks away from the 5070 launch on March 5, so it's too soon to say - with a fairly significant price difference, I'd say that unless the Ti model outperforms the regular 5070 by a margin of at least 20% before upscaling tech is applied, the cheaper card may in fact be the better option when it comes to value for money.

Access to upscaling and frame-gen tools is clearly going to become the Next Big Thing in gaming, with even home consoles starting to implement resolution upscaling (I do still think PSSR is a terrible name, though).

With that in mind, the RTX 5070 Ti - and the upcoming RTX 5070 - make a lot of sense for gamers looking to upgrade from an older GPU. If you're still rocking a 2000 card or even something from the GTX generations, these midrange Blackwell cards will be a worthy upgrade purely for DLSS 4, let alone the raw performance improvements.

Honing in on 4K gaming, the RTX 5070 Ti puts up some impressive numbers at its MSRP of $749. That said, as we discuss in our review, without a Founders Edition 5070 Ti to serve as a baseline, that price is more of a suggestion than a steadfast rule for partner cards.

Still, if you can find a 5070 Ti for a respectable price, you're looking at "31% better overall average FPS than the RTX 4070 Ti and about 23% better average FPS than the RTX 4070 Ti Super" per our benchmark tests.

Our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti review just went live!

TechRadar's Components Editor, John Loeffler, put the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5070 Ti through its paces in our comprehensive benchmark suite of creative, AI, and gaming testing.

The results speak for themselves - the RTX 5070 Ti looks to be the best graphics card currently on the market for most systems...if you can manage to buy one. Read the full review for an outstanding in-depth breakdown of the RTX 5070 Ti's performance and value proposition.

Don't get me wrong, mind you: DLSS 4 with Nvidia's newly boosted frame-gen tech is seriously impressive. I recently saw it in action in Cyberpunk 2077, and having used the first-gen iteration of the software, the difference is truly night and day.

It's still not perfect, but visual tearing, blurring, and artifacting while upscaled to 4K with frame-gen turned on is significantly reduced even against DLSS 3 on a 4000-series GPU, to the point where it's almost completely unnoticeable even when I'm actively looking for it. I spotted the occasional tiny bit of blurring on the HUD while driving and shooting at high speeds, but that was literally it - Nvidia's framerate-boosting features have come a long way since the comparatively iffy original DLSS.

Although its pricing and performance (the latter of which places it almost on par with the more expensive RTX 5080) could make the RTX 5070 Ti the de facto best pick of Nvidia’s current crop of GPUs, finding one at retail price could prove difficult - and if it does, I'd feel compelled to say you should sit and wait.

That goes double for anyone who already has an RTX 4000 card; frankly, I'll be sticking with my RTX 4080 for a while, Multi Frame Generation be damned.

Of course, we're still updating our where to buy the Nvidia RTX 5080 and where to buy the Nvidia RTX 5090 guides as well, though stock remains extremely low, so there's not too much to report at the moment.

And, while this might not be the case with the more affordable 5070 Ti, we have seen in the past inflated GPU prices which meant buying an entire PC with the GPU installed wasn't much more expensive than buying the GPU by itself! Considering you're getting other new components with an entire PC, it can end up being better value than you might first imagine.

So, we'll also highlight any great prebuilt gaming PCs that come with the RTX 5070 Ti as well.

As with previous GPUs that were subject to high demand, one alternative way of getting hold of one is by buying a pre-built gaming PC with the GPU installed.

While this might seem an expensive way of doing things, it can be worth it if you were thinking of upgrading several parts of your Pc at once. You could also sell your old PC if you no longer need it, and that could make the initial outlay more affordable.

As well as the main retailers, we'll also check out less well known stores as well, as they can sell out more slowly as most people will check out the likes of Best Buy and Currys (in the UK) first.

Using this page to help you find stock will also keep you from being scammed or overpaying. Unfortunately, unscrupulous people will use the excitement and demand of the 5070 Ti to take advantage of people.

This could be done by selling fake cards, or (in a process known as 'scalping') buying real 5070 Tis and then selling them on for hugely inflated prices.

We'll only recommend trusted retailers that we know won't rip you off, and we'll only link to 5070 Ti models that are sensibly priced. With the RTX 5090 launch, I found several retailers selling the GPU for around $4,000 - a huge mark up. No matter how desperate you are to get a new 5070 Ti, you really don't want to pay obscene amounts just to get one. It's much better to wait until more stock arrives - trust me.

So, there's going to be a big rush when the RTX 5070 Ti goes on sale - but there are some things we've learned from the earlier launches that can help improve your chances of getting one.

Firstly, I recommend you keep this page open throughout the day, as we'll be updating it live - and we'll be giving stock alerts when we find a retailer that is still selling 5070 Tis, and we'll link directly to the GPUs so you can quickly buy them.

So, why do we think the RTX 5070 Ti will sell out fast? Well, for a start, as I mentioned earlier, the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 sold out incredibly quickly when they went on sale a few weeks ago, proving that there's a huge demand for Nvidia's latest GPUs.

Those two cards are high-end and very expensive GPUs, which makes the fact they sold out so fast even more impressive.

However, this doesn't bode well for RTX 5070 Ti stock availability. For a start, everyone who tried and failed to get a 5090 or 5080 will likely try to get a 5070 Ti, as reviews suggest it's an excellent card.

On top of that, the 5070 Ti has a much more affordable price tag, which should mean it'll be more popular than the premium GPU, so we could see even more people try to snag one.

Good morning! Today's the day that the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti goes on sale. If Nvidia's previous RTX 5000 series launches are anything to go buy, expect stock to go live around 9am ET / 2PM GMT.

That's still a few hours away, so now is a good time to check out the retailers above, and make sure you're signed in to your accounts ahead of the GPUs going on sale.

This is because, like the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 GPUs that launched a few weeks ago, I expect the RTX 5070 Ti to sell out fast, so you'll want to make sure you're as prepared as usual. You don't want to have a new GPU in your shopping cart, only to find out when you come to pay that you need to sign in with a long-forgotten password.
