GeForce RTX 5070 Ti launch confirmed for February 20 thanks to this countdown page

When NVIDIA announced the GeForce RTX 50 Series at CES 2025 in January, it noted that the GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti would launch sometime in February 2025. According to retail listings and leaks, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti will hit retail first on February 20, starting at $749.

This MSRP will see the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti launch at a price $50 lower than the original GeForce RTX 4070 Ti from 2023, and the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER refresh from 2024. Like the SUPER model, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti will ship with 16GB of VRAM, the new and fast GDDR7, and a 256-bit interface.

NVIDIA has not confirmed the February 20 launch date for the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. However, MSI's French store prematurely posted a new countdown page for the launch that, you guessed it, was counting down to February 20. The page has been taken down, but not before @aschilling, the editor of Hardware Luxx, captured a screenshot.

The image shows four MSI models: the VENTUS, the new INSPIRE 3X, the GAMING TRIO, and the new VANGUARD. As for stock levels and pricing, many are hoping that shortages won't plague the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti's arrival.

NVIDIA's performance charts show that the raw non-DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation performance uplift over the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti should be around 20% or so - slightly higher than the GeForce RTX 5080's generational uplift. However, this figure drops to a more modest number when compared against the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. Either way, it should be a pretty powerful gaming GPU for 1440p and 4K gaming.

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is also on track to be AMD's main competitor for the upcoming Radeon RX 9070 XT launch in March, so seeing these two cards go head-to-head down the road will be very interesting.
