If you are planning a PC build and have been waiting patiently to get ahold of one of the new Nvidia Blackwell graphics cards, here's an opportunity that's as good as you're going to get. Right now Amazon has the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC graphics card in stock for $979.99 shipped. Inventory is reserved for Amazon Prime members only.

Although the MSRP for this card is $979.99, it's actually about $100-$150 higher than what it should really be priced at. That's because a reference GeForce RTX 5070 Ti card is supposed to sell for $750. Gigabyte's WindForce triple fan cooling sometimes commands a premium (about $50), as well as the fact that this card is overclocked out of the box (maybe another extra $50). That comes to about $850, about $120 less than the current asking price.
The reality is that even third party manufacturers like Gigabyte, MSI, Asus (and pretty much everyone else) are also taking advantage of the high demand by marking prices up from the get-go. Unfortunately, you'd be hard pressed to find another RTX 5070 Ti GPU for this price or less. RTX 5070 Ti GPUs are generally selling for over $1,000 on eBay.
The RTX 5070 Ti GPU Has Excellent 4K Gaming Performance
Of all the Blackwell cards released thus far, the RTX 5070 Ti offers the best bang for your buck, especially when pitted against the previous generation GPUs. It performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 4080 Super and already marginalizes the RTX 5080, which is only about 10%-15% faster but costs 33% more. This GPU is capable of high framerates in nearly all games, even at 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled. Heck, even if you plan on using this card for AI, the RTX 5070 Ti might be the better value than the RTX 50870 since both are equipped with the same 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM.
