Nvidia confirmed the release date in a new social media post, which follows up a few initial leaks indicating the same thing. The 5070 Ti will cost $750 for the base card (plus whatever markup the OEMs and retailers pile on), which is $250 less than the 5080 and $200 more than the 5070, which still doesn’t have a precise release date.

Nvidia has confirmed the launch dates of its RTX 5070 graphics cards, with the RTX 5070 Ti arriving as planned in February, but with the vanilla RTX 5070 having been pushed out a bit to March, as rumors had already insisted was the case.

MSI's French site accidentally posts a (now-deleted) countdown page teasing the launch of a new RTX 5000 graphics card model.

This makes Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti a potential sweet spot in terms of performance versus the RTX 5080 and 5090 thanks to its relatively lower MSRP of $749, even as it uses a cut-down Blackwell GB203 GPU (like the former) manufactured on a TSMC 4N FinFET process.

A new leak points to NVIDIA's mainstream GeForce RTX 5060 Series using standard 8-pin power connectors, RTX 5060 Ti to match RTX 4070 performance.

While the RTX 5070 does not have any other GB 205-based GPU to compare against, it does come with arguably the most powerful messaging than any other RTX 5000 GPU due to release currently, with Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang touting it as "RTX 4090 Performance for $550".
