Nvidia’s highly-anticipated RTX 5070 Ti graphics card is strongly rumored for a February 20 release, with MSI accidentally revealing a countdown timer on their website supporting this date. However, there remains a concerning lack of information about the standard RTX 5070 and its launch date.
While various leaks point to a February 20 release for the RTX 5070 Ti, the specifics are not yet confirmed until Nvidia officially announces it. The recent reveal by MSI’s French division adds to the growing anticipation, but details on the actual models or specifications have not been disclosed.
The industry speculates on the strategic intent behind this early countdown reveal, with questions arising about the potential delay of the launch or the availability of stock once the product hits the market. Additionally, there are concerns about the silence surrounding the RTX 5070, which should ideally follow the 5070 Ti’s release according to Nvidia’s initial plans for a February launch.
As the competition between Nvidia and AMD heats up, with the RX 9070 GPU speculated to rival the RTX 5070, pricing strategies and market timings become critical factors to watch. Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 4000 series and advancements in AI texture compression technology further add layers of complexity to the evolving graphics card landscape.
