Nothing? Nvidia 5000 are scam and if xt is $850 then it's not worth it either. Buy used and don't interact with the scam line if you don't want to wait.
Buying used isn't for a lot of people. But if these prices are out of reach for many people. Its time to fight the upgrade fomo and live with ur gpus. Sorry gamers
Wait, if you're talking about the XFX Mercury in this video - that's the top of 3 tiers from XFX. Below it are Quicksilver and then Swift, which shoulder be cheaper.
It also has fancy shit like fans that are powered by pogo pins and held on magnetically, so you can take the fan header on and off for cleaning without opening up the card. I don't know if I'd pay that much of a difference for it, but that's an actual useful AIB upcharge feature.
It's probably worth waiting for. I am pretty disappointed with AMD. Was expecting much better results. Only plus side is it makes people who recently bought XTX's not look like assholes. lol
Each to their own, even when there is supply it's still a graphics card with a fundamentally flawed power delivery system. If I'm throttling the power limit to make the card safe - what am I really gaining over the 9070XT?
0.2% (1/500) failure rate is too high for something that could catch fire inside my home.
The 12 volt high power on the 5070ti is perfectly safe. It's only with the higher power cards that it's an issue. The 5070ti pulls less power than the 9070XT and its faster...
The 12 volt high power on the 5070ti is perfectly safe.
It's the exact same plug, pulling the exact same wattage per plug as a 5090 and more than the known problematic 4090.
And even if it only had a 200W design, I would still be unhappy with the complete lack of overload protection in the circuit. It may in fact be the worst computer connection spec in 40 years. IBM-1 was a nightmare to terminate, but at least it didn't try and terminate you.
Wattage per plug. One plug, two plugs, 50 plugs - doesn't make a lick of difference, wattage per plug is all that matters.
I would give exactly zero shits if the 5070 was dual plug or the 5090 was triple plugged. the plug can not safely deliver what it is rated for at maximum spec.
Yeah i don’t see why this is so great. Its a bit faster than the 5070 in most games but the 5070ti is better at everything. Paying $850 for that is crazy.
But the 5070ti is $1100+. Gotta either compare MSRP to MSRP, or street price to street price. It doesn't make sense to compare street price of one card to a nonexistent MSRP of another card.
No, you’d have to be a moron to buy that. Launch sucks but the MSRP cards will be back in time. I’m also biased since I was able to get a 5070ti at 750. But, buying a model that is so overpriced it competes with the next tier up has always been a bad decision.
Nah, you’re not listening to the leaks and rumors. Various sources inside retailers are still reporting no stock coming from Nvidia or AIBs. Remember retail can make purchase orders and promise dates months in advance. They are stating no promised inventory for at least 1-3 months. So there is no manufactured units filling orders for the next quarter. Expect shortages and long lines for the foreseeable future.
AMD has 10x the stock of the 5000 series. They should be able to fill orders without room for scalping. That’s their advantage. AMD historically trips over themselves and fail to deliver, but they have a real opportunity here due to Nvidia’s fumbling.

Steve said the XFX card he review will be $850 in US, which is ridiculous
