Earlier this week we reported a rumour that Nvidia had slightly delayed the upcoming RTX 5070 GPU from some time in February to early March. Well, it turns out that's true. Nvidia has updated its website and given a March 5 on-sale date for the 5070's release, plus February 20 for the RTX 5070 Ti.

The $750 Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti is still set to release on Feb. 20, but the company’s product page now says the $550 RTX 5070 is coming on March 5 (seen via The Verge ). On Thursday, AMD shared that it will unveil the anticipated Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT on Feb.

Graphics cards are getting crazy expensive, yet again. Between high demand, low supply, and broader trade wars, the launch of Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs is bringing back traumatic memories of the pandemic.
