[Gamers Nexus] Do Not Buy: NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti GPU Absurdity (Benchmarks & Review)

[Hardware Unboxed] RTX 5070 Ti Review, If Only It Was Really $750...

[JayzTwoCents] RTX 5070Ti - I don't trust what I am being told one bit!

[Level1Techs] The 5070 Ti: A Solid GPU, But What's Up With The Pricing??

To provide an answer to the title on why:

NVIDIA's limited GPU supply and high initial MSRP ridiculously increases costs for everyone.

PhysX 32-bit support has been depreciated.

12V high power cable is severely underspeced which may or may not cause problems into the future.

Scalpers are everywhere because of the limited supply and insane initial prices.

Market sellers such as Newegg are bundling NVIDIA's limited GPUs with overpriced and old components/peripherals.

Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) buyers will be saddled with overpriced and useless e-waste.

The general consensus online seems to be that NVIDIA has fumbled their 50 series GPU launch in spectacular fashion. Best of luck to those who can buy the 5070 Ti at the marketed $749 USD MSRP.
