The RTX 5070 Ti release time is almost here. Nvidia has officially confirmed release dates for both its upcoming RTX 5070 & 5070 Ti graphics cards, but it’s the Ti variant first in line. Both of these GPUs were planned for launch in February, but the non-Ti model has been pushed back until March. With that detail out of the way, we can count down the hours until the 5070 Ti release.

Much like the 5090 and 5080 launches that came prior, we expect this card to be in high demand. With that in mind, it makes sense to try and get yours as soon as possible. We’ve already prepared a dedicated where to buy RTX 5070 Ti & RTX 5070 page, so head over there if you’re looking to snap one up on launch. Current rumors already tell us that availability will be scarce, so ensuring a timely purchase is the key to success.

Has the RTX 5070 Ti launch time been confirmed?

We already know that the RTX 5070 Ti will be available to buy on February 20th. While Nvidia hasn’t disclosed the exact time of launch, past hardware launches – including the recent RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 releases – tell us that retailers will start going live with sales at 9 AM EST. If you want to know how that looks in your region, we’ve put together a list of different regions and local times to cross-reference. Alternatively, you simply refer to the countdown clock below; if you don’t see one, that means time is up and the card has already been launched.

• US Pacific (PST): 6 AM
• US Eastern (EST): 9 AM
• UK / Western Europe (GMT/UCT): 2 PM
• Central Europe (CST): 3 PM
• India (IST): 7:30 PM
• Sydney, Australia (AEDT): 12 AM (midnight), Feb 21st
• Auckland, New Zealand (NZDT): 2 AM, Feb 21st

How long will the 5070 Ti remain in stock after release?

We can’t be certain about how long the GPU will be in stock. However, considering both the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 went out of stock almost immediately across all popular online retailers, it’s likely the 5070 Ti will face the same fate. This is because there have been plenty of rumors about the availability of the new card. Currently, it is expected that the Ti card will have “very limited” stock at launch.

On top of that, 5070 Ti reviews have now been published, confirming that the price will be a deciding factor for success. Since there is no Founders Edition for this SKU, that means we’re left with partner cards only, and the price is being driven well above the $749 MSRP based on early listings currently viewable online.
