Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition cards won't launch until later this month

"Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition will launch later in March, delaying its availability compared to third-party versions releasing on March 5th."

"The RTX 5070 is expected to match the performance of the $1,599 RTX 4090, but testing reveals discrepancies with that claim."

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition will be available later in March, creating a wait for eager buyers. Reviews for the $549 card have just been released, while third-party models from brands like Asus and MSI will hit the market on March 5th. This delay follows a prior postponement from an original launch date of February 28th. Despite claims of similar performance to the high-end RTX 4090, early testing suggests that the 5070 may not meet expectations, amid a troubled launch for Nvidia's 50-series range, characterized by manufacturing issues in other models.
