The GeForce RTX 5070 is set to launch today, facing stock shortage issues similar to its predecessors in the RTX 50 series. Nvidia’s Founders Edition of the RTX 5070 is delayed until later in March, leaving hardware reviewers as the exclusive recipients for now.
Reports indicate a scarcity of RTX 5070 units available for sale, with UK and Swedish retailers struggling to stock the new GPU. In contrast, AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT, launching tomorrow, seem to have a healthier supply.
The cause of the shortage remains unclear, with speculations pointing towards bot-driven resellers. The absence of significant manufacturing issues like those faced by the RTX 30 series raises questions about the low initial supply. The unavailability of the Founders Edition is particularly disappointing, given its sleek design and premium build quality.
Overall, the RTX 5070 launch seems to be marred by supply constraints, leaving potential buyers eager for a chance to get their hands on the new GPU.
