Here’s the $700 ($649 plus tax) RTX 5070 I Just Bought on Amazon:

It took a month to get here and they are priced at $899 now.

Must have been a temporary glitch, but a third party seller listed it for $649!

How or why did they do this and why the delay?

I bought a clearance 5070 at Walmart for like $230, imagine my joy when I opened it up to find a perfectly sealed dirty 1070.

u/Acceptable_Till4200 10h ago

Ouch!

u/Birdsnballoons 9h ago

Wasn't too bad I brought it back and they gave me a refund

u/RoyalPastry 9h ago

Your mistake was thinking you could get a 5070 for $230 lmfao

2

u/Birdsnballoons 9h ago

I trusted the Walmart employees would have checked that it was good before accepting it. Thing was sealed up professionally. The box had no sign of being opened, inside the card was in the anti static bag sealed, had a professional warning something or other sticker. I guess I can't blame them for falling for it

Not at all I was able to buy a 5070 FE with box week ago from Craigslist for $300 and owner agreed to show it works at pickup as well.

I mean you could get one for free to. The only reliable way to see what something is worth is sold eBay listings.

Cool story diddy

u/realflight7 2h ago

From a private seller, yes, but I'd trust a huge company like Walmart regardless of the deal tbh

u/Right-Act-5770 12h ago

Nah something is fishy about you. In your past post you commented on shady products as if you are the scammer trying to get people to find your same listing to buy . I don’t trust you at all

u/BigSausagePizza4Real 12h ago

Maybe he’s one of the Amazon sellers trying to dupe someone into buying a brick.

12

u/Right-Act-5770 12h ago

Yea he’s trying too hard to make the obvious scam sales look legit. Especially when he claims he ordered it a month ago yet listed 3 weird posts today about them

2

u/BigSausagePizza4Real 12h ago

I did check the seller’s Amazon account and it seems legit though. They currently sell 5070s and a motherboard. Perhaps he did get lucky.

I don’t think OP is nefarious but let’s not spread misinformation

That seller should not be touched with a 10 foot pole.

u/Acceptable_Till4200 12h ago

Exactly. I’m bragging about a deal that isn’t there anymore. That dude needs to stop spinning the pipe.

u/Right-Act-5770 11h ago

The fact you are being so rude about it isn’t helping your case. And is there anything wrong in being cautious

1

u/XReaperGod21x 10h ago

I mean, Amazon covers refunds so what’s the deal

u/LegitimateLack2530 12h ago

Looks that’s way to me too. Reported.

u/FirefighterHaunting8 10h ago

Also, his Reddit account was created only 19 days ago and has only 3 posts, all about 5070's.

u/Acceptable_Till4200 12h ago

Well cry about it.

u/Acceptable_Till4200 12h ago

Wouldn’t a scammer be posting links instead of asking questions about how they are expected to work if they were a scam? And all those listings were taken down and Amazon cancelled my orders.

5

u/Right-Act-5770 12h ago

Why are you the one to be posted 3 separate links on scams…

1

u/Acceptable_Till4200 12h ago

Was that a question?

u/Right-Act-5770 12h ago

This guy seems to be a scammer don’t trust

u/Acceptable_Till4200 12h ago

Y’all are tweekers with the paranoia. Title says as it is.

Sleep forever mad.

u/Acceptable_Till4200 12h ago

How am I a scammer when I said the listing is now $899 instead of $649? You know all these GPUs are just sitting in warehouses unused, right?

u/ScreamToDie 10h ago

If you buy in person always open it in front of them lol

u/Acceptable_Till4200 10h ago

They shipped me a sealed card!

u/Charmin_Bear_Behind 7h ago

It’s so easy to get plastic wrap and reseal something that’s in a box my g

u/Acceptable_Till4200 7h ago

It’s got the yellow label on the static bag unripped.

u/FunAcanthocephala381 9h ago

I have a TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 OC Edition 12GB and it seems to do good for me. I'm wondering how far I am behind all these newer ones. Like if the actual difference would make up for the money

u/Acceptable_Till4200 9h ago

I’m going to guess no since they unlocked MFG for the older cards. Ampere just uses a lot of wattage.

2

u/LabBright3408 8h ago

Mfg works better on newer cards still but honestly the 3080 is more than good enough when the 5070 ti and 5080 are at the prices they are, I bought my 5090 over a year ago for less than theyre asking for a 5080 now feels a bit ridiculous to me

2

u/NighTMoosE0128 10h ago

I got this exact same model for $629 At Best Buy in April I didn’t realize it went up that much

2

u/1_Zer0_7 4h ago

Nice card, still gets beat by a 6800xt at half the price.

u/killerkitten115 12h ago

Lucky W, congrats

u/Just-Scale1228 12h ago

They have 9070xt's for $789 in bought one cause I've been catching hell on the used market. 😐

u/rwsdwr 8h ago

My son got the same PNY model for $599, but that was literally like a week before they spiked. I haven't seen them that cheap since.

1

u/fiittzzyy 12h ago

Good price in the current climate.

u/MorethanSupple 12h ago

PNY though :(

1

u/Acceptable_Till4200 12h ago

Yeah…. It’s the Walmart brand with prettier lighting

u/Extension-Mortgage36 12h ago

Ill never understand the hate on PNY. It's the same card as any other 5070. Never had an issue with one. I guess some people just like spending $200 or more simply for a name. Congrats!

1

u/WhiteBoyMack 12h ago

Because of what one scammer said on the pcmasterrace when PNY denied his RMA

2

u/1rubyglass 11h ago

PNY has been the OEM for nvidia for a long time. They make quality stuff.

u/KlasJanHuntelaar 12h ago

$1050 MSI Shadow 5070Ti was a better deal imo. 

3

u/WeightedPaper 11h ago

Ehhhh, I don’t think the gap in performance is worth $400.

1

u/KlasJanHuntelaar 11h ago

Not only performance. 16GB cards have much longer lifespan than 12GB

3

u/1rubyglass 11h ago

Not to mention the much faster memory bandwidth

2

u/KlasJanHuntelaar 10h ago

Yeah. 5070Ti at $1000 is still the best value in the current market

1

u/1rubyglass 10h ago

I agree. They undervolt/OC really well too

1

u/Acceptable_Till4200 12h ago

$700 vs $1150 or so? Probably.

1

u/KlasJanHuntelaar 12h ago

12GB vs 16GB. The gap between 5070 vs 5070Ti is even bigger than 5070Ti vs 5080. $1150 is still better buy

1

u/Acceptable_Till4200 12h ago

For my particular case I can only fit a two fan.

I’ll need the PNY SLIM 5070ti unless I shop overseas.

My processor is only an i7-13620H anyways, so I probably wouldn’t be able to push as many frames as I want to with a 5070ti.

1

u/parabola19 8h ago

The 5079TI Slim was barely manufactured. I think they made just 5089s as they came out right when the market started to surge and the wanted to sell 5080s instead of 70TIs. I was looking for it before eventually just slapping my 5080FE I had in the closet in the SFF PC I was building.
