Nvidia's budget-friendly Blackwell GPU, the GeForce RTX 5070, has finally arrived, boasting the most attractive price yet for the 50-series at $549.99. This marks Nvidia's fourth 50-series release, following the RTX 5080 and 5090 (January) and the RTX 5070 Ti (February). While the Founder's Edition will launch later this month, third-party cards should be available now. However, past inventory issues plague the RTX 50 series, and shortages are anticipated. Bots snapping up large quantities for resale at inflated prices further complicate matters. If you find one in stock, don't hesitate!
Alternatively, consider pre-built PCs featuring the RTX 5090; these may have better stock availability.
**TLDR:** This article assumes, but doesn't guarantee, RTX 5070 availability. Be prepared for potential sell-outs.
