not a bad price for a Palit GeForce RTX 5070 Infinity 3 12GB
Excludes Northern Territory, WA Remote
Awesome comment. Just wondering, I'm thinking on upgrading to a 5070 ti from a 3070, do you know of any deals that might be comparable like the case above? or just hodl for now? Best I've seen for 5070ti was the ebay ~$1400 for the Palit 5070ti
The 1400 price is probably one of the better ones for the 5070 Ti.
If you can nab one at 1300, in the current market, that's probably the go.
If you have eBay Plus, the $1375 deal on the Palit 5070ti is easily the best graphics card purchase atm.
It's still overpriced, but so are the alternatives.
Actual context on stock performance.
Actual context on overclocking capability, which raises it to 4070 Ti Super performance at 1440p while only increasing power consumption 30 watts, which is notably more architecturally efficient than the 40 series.
Actual context on path tracing performance, which is helpful for those comparing it to AMD's offerings in this generation, because it matches the 9070 XT in path traced (fully ray traced) workloads, coming in at about 70-80% of the 5070 Ti's results at 1440p. This represents a big chunk of the direction of 3D graphics going forward, and VRAM consumption will go down, removing 1440p edge cases going forward (and perhaps making 4K fully viable on 12 GB).
Contrary to your rushed opinion, the 5070 is a fundamentally good product at these prices in a broader sense, though this particular model - based on the 5060 Ti variant - shows issues with noise and thermals such that I would recommend against buying it.
Can we please try to be just a tiny bit more sensible going forward?
I'll happily take a bit more power draw and less ray-tracing/path-tracing/whatever for an extra $200 in my pocket. That $200 difference is enough to go for a bigger monitor (27" -> 32") which would have a more meaningful impact on enjoyment.
The performance delta between the relevant 5070 models are seemingly negligible, it's that the fans are 50% louder, the GPU temps are 4 degrees higher, and the VRAM temps are maybe 8 degrees higher (i.e. there's no thermal pad).
This is hot and loud, and it will likely have a shorter lifespan. You should probably bother to pay $50 more for the next step up from this, and that's also true for the Gigabyte SFF people are discussing in the comments.
Alternatively if you're talking about the 5070 Ti vs the 9070 XT, one is worth overclocking, taking it to stock 5080 performance for 300 W. It's not the AMD card.
@jasswolf: Oh don't worry, I'm not upgrading any time soon. Nothing beats the $400 I spent on a 6700XT 2 years ago.
It is a Gigabyte Gaming OC card, and it does get some coil wine under load, and the fans are loader than the rest of my build. For the price, can't complain, but when I eventually upgrade I'll try to avoid the baseline "Gaming OC" cards.
Anyway, I was referring to the 4070 Super comparison, didn't mention 9070XT at all. If one can find one for $750 new, that's an infinitely better deal than any 5070 and I will die on that hill :)
@heef: It's not, today for the performance gap, the MFG and Reflex 2 extras, and the better encoder, and going forward with complex neural rendering and AI workloads that are relevant for gaming.
Not that you can even get a 4070 Super at that price: they stopped production of AD104 to make GB205.
@jasswolf: Thanks, I'll make sure to avoid new games that aren't optimised and use AI as a band-aid. Shouldn't be difficult, they are usually not worth playing anyway :)
@heef: No problem, I look forward to our next conversation as you have your messages delivered via courier from your horse-drawn wagon, musing on the simplicity of forward rendering and all the incredible visual tricks that can be used to make games look like a slightly sharper version of one from 20 years ago.
The gigabyte model was $903 and $927 an hour ago but only 14 stock which all sold
I wouldn't purchase a Gigabyte RTX 5000 series GPU, especially if you plan on vertical mount. There are multiple reports of thermal gel… seeping away.
Would be worth confirming if they've been recalling retail stock to correct for this issue.
I believe Gigabyte are still in the "not just a river in Egypt" phase of troubleshooting this particular problem.
This is definitely worse than the RX 9070, and will have to compete with the 9070 GRE once it’s released outside of China.
Similar performance and vram with 3080 Ti where you can get on the 2nd hand market for $650.
Did anyone say fake frames?
I didn't say that
And eBay Plus is $5/month, and regularly has targeted offers where it's $0-$20 annually.
eBay is still the better deal for this model.
Has anyone purchased anything from CEX? They have the RTX4070 for $800 right now.
At those prices, you're better off looking at the 5070, and here's a short primer on why.
Even the 5060 Ti 16GB is quickly going to be better if you bother to change two clock values, but the 5070 is way better value.
I would assume that's a second-hand card though?
As mentioned by 2-1 above, they've been cheaper new.
I hope for a deal on a sff friendly GPU
All deals are sff friendly if you have a rotatory tool and an external PSU
Time to go MFF and forget about compatibility issues. Check out the Dan A3, I found it quite easy to build in.
But If you truly need tiny, I'm so sorry, the market just isn't catering to you at the moment :(
Adding some context here for folks to help make informed decisions:
5070 is about 5% performance increase to the 4070 Super:

The last good deal on the 4070 Super was at the end of 2024 @ $748.02 so about 21% cheaper:

Hard to recommend this buy, hard to recommend to wait as well. Good luck friends.
