If you’ve been patiently waiting to get your hands on the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, you might need to exercise a bit more patience. Overclockers UK, a major retailer in PC hardware, has reported that their stocks of the RTX 5070 Ti flew off the shelves on launch day, a stark indicator of the limited inventory available. In simple terms, when it comes to satisfying demand, the supply is falling short.
Prior to the official launch, Overclockers UK was already preparing for this high demand by offering ‘restricted’ pre-orders to secure buyers’ GPUs. Despite these precautions, the RTX 5070 Ti was completely sold out as soon as it became available. Now, eager buyers are facing a wait of two to six weeks before the next shipment is expected to arrive.
The current stock situation for NVIDIA’s latest GPUs spells out a similar story across the board. The highly anticipated GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 are also out of stock, with any available items being quickly snagged, usually at a premium price. The RTX 5080 is expected to see some stock trickle in over the next couple of weeks, while the RTX 5090 might take anywhere from two to fourteen weeks to become available. It’s clear that enthusiasts hoping to get their hands on the latest tech will need to bide their time.
The RTX 5070 Ti, priced with an MSRP of $749, has been hard to find within this price range, often selling for $1,000 or more due to its scarcity. This steep price hike underscores the wider issue of availability and demand in the GPU market.
Potential buyers should keep an eye on Overclockers UK for stock updates, as pre-orders for the RTX 5070 Ti can still be made, but only for those who are willing to wait for the fresh stock to arrive. Unfortunately, if you had your heart set on the RTX 5090, you might be disappointed to know that all pre-orders have stopped due to the severe shortage, indicating that it could be much later in the year before stock levels stabilize.
Further complicating matters are reported performance issues with NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 models, which are allegedly causing delays of up to four weeks. This might mean that we won’t see improved availability until well into the second half of 2025, making patience a virtue for those eager to upgrade. In the meantime, the best strategy is to stay informed and be ready to act quickly when new stock becomes available. Keep those fingers crossed that more waves of these coveted GPUs hit the market soon.
