Three cards on sale, three price premiums
NVIDIA announced $749 as the starting price for the RTX 5070 Ti family in February 2025. Each custom card had its own launch price. The table shows how much extra it cost to order the models listed online on 6 November.
Model and US retailer | Listed price before local tax | Difference vs $749 |
|---|---|---|
Gigabyte AERO OC — Newegg | $1,339.99 | +78.9% |
ASUS Prime OC — B&H | $1,399.99 | +86.9% |
ASUS TUF Gaming OC — B&H | $1,499.99 | +100.3% |
On 29 October the lowest price in the same tracker was $1,179.99. In eight days the cheapest available option rose by $160, or 13.6%.
AERO OC and TUF OC: what does the $160 difference buy?
The $1,339.99 Gigabyte AERO OC and the $1,499.99 ASUS TUF OC both have 16 GB of GDDR7 and a factory overclock. For the white AERO pictured below, Gigabyte quotes 2,588 MHz against a reference clock of 2,452 MHz.
What high prices tell us about production
In January ASUS said the RTX 5070 Ti and the 16 GB RTX 5060 Ti had not reached end of life. It cited memory supply constraints affecting production and restocking. The November listings show that some RTX 5070 Ti cards are still on sale, without revealing production volumes. The distinction also matters for the RTX 5090, which NVIDIA denies discontinuing.

Key takeaways
The doubling refers to one particular card compared with the recommended starting price for the range. It is not the average price of all RTX 5070 Ti cards.
