NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Listed For $549 On Best BUY, Listing Reveals ASUS PRIME Edition GPU – Wccftech
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 looks ready to hit the market as one of its custom editions has already been listed on a retailer.It may seem as a surprise to see the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 already being listed on a retailer. Since most RTX 50 series GPUs are already out of stock, seeing an upcoming RTX 50 series GPU and that too being listed for its official MSRP is a bit surprising. It’s not yet available for purchase, and won’t be till NVIDIA lifts the embargo on the sales.As spotted by @momomo_us, the ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 GPU is currently live on Best Buy for $549.99. The official MSRP for the Founders Edition of the RTX 5070 is $549 and, since the PRIME RTX 5070 from ASUS is the base card, it was expected that it would be priced at $549 as well. However, seeing the recent RTX 50 launches, we can’t guarantee that the price will remain the same when the GPU launches.Moreover, it’s possible that not only does the price get a hefty increase on the launch date, but the GPU also goes out of stock instantly. At the moment, all the launched RTX 50 series GPUs such as RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 Ti are out of stock or are incredibly expensive in almost all parts of the world. This scarcity is said to be created by NVIDIA itself, but since AMD is about to launch its RX 9070 GPUs next week, it will create some pressure on NVIDIA as the RTX 5070 is set to launch a day before, i.e., on 5th March.Considering that AMD has the Radeon RX 9070 at $549 as a direct competitor to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, NVIDIA may want to increase the supply drastically, unlike what it did with the previous cards. AMD has promised a wide availability of its RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPUs and the pricing will also affect the competition a lot.The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the fourth-fastest GPU in the Blackwell lineup, featuring 6144 CUDA Cores, 48 RT Cores, 12 GB of GDDR7 VRAM on a 192-bit bus, and a boost clock exceeding 2.5 GHz. The green team was reportedly facing some supply issues for the RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 GPUs, which indicated a delay of several weeks, but the report isn’t official.Hopefully, with competitive prices and performance, we can see both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs become widely available for their respective MSRPs.Some posts on wccftech.com may contain affiliate links.
