Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition cards won’t launch until later this month
Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition cards won’t launch alongside other 5070s. Reviews of the new $549 graphics card just dropped today, but in an email to The Verge, Nvidia GeForce global PR director Ben Berraondo says the RTX 5070 Founders Edition will be available “later in March.”
That means that people who want it will either have to wait until that later launch date or consider third-party versions from companies such as Asus and MSI that launch on March 5th. Hardwareluxx editor Andreas Schilling first posted earlier about the later Founders Edition launch on X. Nvidia had already delayed the RTX 5070 series from its original launch date of February 28th.
Berraondo shared the following manufacturers that will have 5070 cards at MSRP cost available from March 5th: Asus, Colorful, Gainward, GALAX, Gigabyte, INNO3D, KFA2, MSI, Palit, PNY, and Zotac.
When Nvidia announced the 5070, the company said that it would offer similar performance to the $1,599 RTX 4090, but our testing doesn’t align with that claim. The longer wait and mixed reviews for the 5070 Founders Edition adds to what’s been a rocky launch for Nvidia’s 50-series chips so far, including some “rare” manufacturing issues with RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti cards that were missing physical render output units (ROPs).
