Sounds in-line with what I've been seeing the past few weeks...
At least it means Newegg and the AIB get a cut of the scalping rates?
There's even a couple 9070s at 670 and 680 plus 13 shipping...
Those cards can feel free to stew at those prices, thanks. Keeps it hard to be interested in stepping up, still.
Yep, sellers market. I don't think we will see MSRP cards ever again, in this cycle. I just looked and mine was $1579, I paid it because that is what they were going for. Not any way to get away from it, there were a few cheaper models than that available today at least.
I snagged one of those Windforce OC cards for my HTPC. According to Nvida, it's a "Small Form Factor" card, yet it's bigger than the EVGA RTX 3080 Ti it replaced. Barely fit into the Torrent Nano case. At least the 300W design runs much more quietly.
Best buy have the PNY 5070 for $550 (MSRP). It's been in stock for a few hours, and I just ordered it. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-ge...with-triple-fan-black/6620352.p?skuId=6620352
I'd rather have a 9070 and if I see one in the next couple weeks I'll return the 5070, otherwise it'll be a good bump from my 6750, which will trickle down to replace a 3060 in my kids PC, which will replace a 5700 in the other PC, which might get gifted to my nephew. The circle of GPU life continues.

I just camped on their discord (skip the email and SMS stuff imo) and watched the alerts and took a crack at anything at MSRP. Missed one because I didn't have my walmart account fully up to date, and then got one direct through MSI.
Well my back ordered 9070XT has shipped a month early, at what appears to be the equivalent of MSRP in NZ excluding GST (sales tax) it was US$640. You can still order different models for delivery end of May for about US$700-800, so guess they're trickling out with some of the models at the upper end of the range available for shipping tomorrow.
I am looking for one now, and have been using TrackaLacker since it was linked her, but no luck so far. Which store did it come into stock in? I am avoiding the MSI Shadow and Ventus models as they seem to be loud.
I'm on discord now, let's see if that goes any better.

This may have been mentioned before, but there are some changes in the encoding and decoding capabilities of the 5000 series cards vs 4000.
"GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs also feature the ninth-generation NVIDIA video encoder, NVENC, that offers a 5% improvement in video quality on HEVC and AV1 encoding (BD-BR), as well as a new AV1 Ultra Quality mode that achieves 5% more compression at the same quality."
"GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs include 4:2:2 hardware support that can decode up to eight times the 4K 60 frames per second (fps) video sources per decoder, enabling smooth multi-camera video editing."
"GeForce RTX 5090 to export video 60% faster than the GeForce RTX 4090 and at 4x speed compared with the GeForce RTX 3090"
RTX 5090 - 3x NVENC, 2x NVDEC
RTX 5080 - 2x NVENC, 2x NVDEC
RTX 5070 Ti - 2x NVENC, 1x NVDEC
RTX 5070 - 1x NVENC, 1x NVDEC

Going to have to say that real life doesn't seem to be impressed with the improvements which track the same "uplift" you see for cards vis a vis their location in the product stack when it comes to games, etc.
Decoding for the average creator is a solved problem (I'm lucky to have two cameras to work with) and encoding, only a small portion of my average workload is the actual encode, with color corrections/vignettes/text animations are all overhead that doesn't seem to be solved by anything besides clockspeed (which is why benchmarks have each card in the product stack largely where they're at in the stack, rather than divided out by generation). And, unfortunately if your target is youtube, you still get best results in the preservation of grain and small details by uploading X264.
Granted, there are some super users who need a 5090 but by and large they're not on the fence about purchasing them in bulk with other people's money.
Oh that's interesting to learn, since a Shadow is what I have showing up today.
On the other hand, I only use my machine for gaming and when I'm gaming I have headphones on, so maybe I won't even notice
Yup, I saw that. My Spectrum internet connection chose that moment to die. By the time I switched to 5G on my phone it was gone.
At least one more 5070 Ti (PNY) at MSRP popped up about 35 minutes ago, except I was in a meeting and missed it. But the fact that they are popping up so often is encouraging.
OTOH in the past half-day or so I have been following Trackalacker, I haven't seen a single 5080 anywhere near MSRP...

I saw an alert pop-up for the PNY 5070 Ti just now, I clicked on it immediately and went straight to add to cart then checkout. I was still too slow. There must be bots placing orders.
I haven't seen any MSRP AMD deals in the last couple days. Best seems to be $650 and $730 for the 9070 and 9070xt respectively. I'm not sure a 9070XT makes sense at $20 less than a 5070ti if you can get one. BestBuy website seems to have stuff popping in and out of stock all day long. I did see an AMD card with an actual add to cart button but it seems to just put you in a queue and it was more than I really wanted to pay so I didn't wait to see if it would have actually let me check out.
Possible, though it seems strange to me that Amazon would be receiving one at a time into stock.

Has anyone seen how an undervolted 5080 compares to an undervolted 4080S? The gains outside of MFG seem to mostly be driven by more power, and I'm already undervolted.
I'm tempted to visit the local Microcenter a few times to see if I can pick up a 5080 at MSRP and then sell my 4080S for more than that.

Welp, I'd say my chances of upgrading this generation are now between slim and none. I already didn't want to pay what AMD and Nvidia wanted for cards and now with another 20-40% added on top, yeah I'm out...
I think I may be in the same boat.
My 2080 Super is showing its age, and I've been relying more on "optimized" settings from the Nvidia app to keep settings at a playable frame rate without looking too ugly. The incremental improvements to DLSS have also been welcomed.
With current gen consoles still not really supplanting the previous gen, Microsoft seemingly getting ready to tap out of the console hardware market, and GPUs being overpriced/unavailable for one reason or another for nearly a decade, this may prompt game devs to chill for a bit on hardware requirements. I can't see PC gaming surviving as a sustainable hobby otherwise. Even the tech media has started commenting on it.
I’ve just ordered a 4060 for 20% below current going rates and it is schedule to arrive end of month, so I will have time to possibly snag a 5060ti on the 16th if they are reasonably priced.
Who knows about prices, if the current turmoil impacts the AI boom prices might even drop.
Rumor floating around is that semiconductors will get additional tariffs in the US, so that would maybe also benefit availability in the rest of the world.

I broke down and put in an order for a 9070 for $650 when I caught one in stock. More than I really wanted to pay in general or for a 9070 specifically but I haven't even seen any cheaper options since I've been watching and it feels like it's only going to get worse. Definitely a bit of FOMO but I'll survive. I'm still half expecting my order to get canceled so not really counting it until it actually ships.
Have seen RTX 5070 Ti's at MSRP of $749.99 pop up at least six (maybe seven or eight) times since I started following the Trackalacker Discord earlier this week. Saw RTX 5080's at MSRP of $999.99 maybe twice.
Wasn't able to snag any of them til just now, but got one via Newegg juuuuuust now.

Acer's B580 card is in stock at Newegg for $319 (plus around $13 shipping):
https://www.newegg.com/acer-nitro-an-b580-oca-intel-12gb-gddr6/p/N82E16814553012?sdtid=18224455
~32% more than MSRP, if you count shipping. Still cheaper than the other Chinese options.

Well done! I've been following for several days too, at this point the 5070 Ti is going for $999 frequently. I didn't even see an alert for a 5080 under $1,270.
I grabbed the Best Buy 5070. It’s going to my friend so I can have his old white 4070, which is then going to my nephew who wants a white and RGB system.
Huzzah!
See y’all next gen. Thank you for all the pointers!

Have seen 5070 and 5070Ti below MSRP, but I think that's just an expression of how inflated the UK MSRP is. Expected price is £539 for the 5070, but it's available on and off at £509. That MSRP is $695USD, though admittedly with 20% VAT on it. (so $580)
Seems there is a limit to what people will pay.
