Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti early pricing rumors are making me fear the worst for the cost of this mid-range GPU
There are already ominous rumblings that Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti GPU isn’t coming to the rescue of PC gamers, as early price rumors are a definite worry.

- An MSI RTX 5070 Ti graphics card has been priced over in Europe
- This early sighting sees price tags pitched well above the MSRP
- We should still be very careful about any prerelease pricing, but this remains a worrying hint
Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti is rumored to be almost upon us – indeed, we know it’s supposed to be out in February from Team Green itself – and early pricing hints are now emerging.
The bad news is that these nuggets feel depressingly similar to what we’ve seen with the RTX 5090 and 5080 GPUs. What’s that, exactly? The specter of inflated pricing, which has been a definite motif with the Blackwell graphics cards Nvidia has deployed thus far.
VideoCardz picked up on an MSI RTX 5070 Ti (Gaming Trio OC) appearing at an Austrian retailer, Media Markt (sic), priced at €1,169, which is around a third more than the official MSRP in Germany. (And that recommended price should be roughly equivalent for Austria, given that these European countries have the same level of sales tax, and likely similar import costs too).
Okay, so that’s just one price, but unfortunately, it’s mirrored by a French retailer, as spotted by Tomasz Gawroński on X, which has the same MSI RTX 5070 Ti entry-level board at €1,150, a very similar level.
