The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, released in late February for an initial price of $749.99, has quickly become a victim of price gouging. Across the board, from individual sellers to the manufacturers themselves, the Blackwell lineup, including the RTX 5070 Ti, has seen significant price markups. It's now challenging to find this card for less than $1,000.
However, there's a smart workaround to bypass these inflated prices: opting for a prebuilt gaming PC. Amazon is currently offering CyberpowerPC RTX 5070 Ti gaming desktops starting at $2,069.99. This price is highly competitive, especially considering the RTX 5070 Ti's performance, which is nearly identical to the RTX 4080 Super (within 5%). Even without considering the advantages of DLSS 4, this makes it a compelling choice. For comparison, the best deal on an RTX 4080 Super gaming PC right now is at HP for $2,299.99. Unless you're particularly attached to a specific brand, opting for one of these prebuilt PCs could be the wiser move.

Among the Blackwell series GPUs released so far, the RTX 5070 Ti stands out as the best value. It's remarkably close in performance to the RTX 4080 Super and even outperforms the RTX 5080, which, despite being only 10%-15% faster, commands a 33% higher price. The RTX 5070 Ti excels at delivering high framerates in almost all games, including at 4K with ray tracing enabled. Moreover, for those interested in AI applications, the RTX 5070 Ti offers similar value to the RTX 50870, both featuring 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."
