Title: Retail leak tips painful RTX 5070 Ti pricing for Europe as 400 EUR markup destroys value

Supply shortages aren't the only thing prospective buyers of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti need to fear. A new retail leak has revealed that the RTX 5070 Ti may cost well over €1,000, despite the supposed $749 MSRP initially set by Nvidia.

"high expected demand"

Repeat a lie often enough and becomes true;)

What's the lie? 16 GB of ram is kind of minimum ram in the higher tier of cards, so there's probably lots of eyes on the 5070Ti.

I know I'd need to update from my 2070, too bad the availability of the 5xxx series is so bad.

The lie is the "high demand". Currently, supply is almost non-existent so demand cannot be measured (except as to the run for the tiny number of available cards about who besides insiders, supplied reviewers, scalpers and bots gets them; answer in Europe: essentially nobody; answer in the USA: the first in line camping around Microcenters).

(Sure, there are exceptions like you who absolutely seek some newer GPU but exceptions alone do not generate high overall demand.)
