The best argument for grabbing a 5080 right now, if you can find one at $999 in the first place, is that the only cards that come close to its performance are either way more expensive than they're supposed to be (the 4080 Super) or not cheap enough to justify the Nvidia-specific features you give up (AMD's Radeon 7900 XTX).

It was quite an exciting week for many gamers, as NVIDIA launched the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, alongside support for Avowed and many other goodies on GeForce NOW.

NVIDIA's RTX 5070 Ti sells out on launch day with UK retailer warning of up to six-week wait for restocks, while RTX 5090 delays stretch to 14 weeks.
