Swedish retailer confirms it will have no day 1 RTX 5070 stock

Nvidia’s RTX 5070 is likely to have limited availability at launch – One retailer couldn’t get any GPUs for launch day

One of Sweden’s largest PC gaming retailers has confirmed they will have no day 1 stock of Nvidia’s RTX 5070 graphics card. The retailer confirmed this on their website directly (via Videocardz), stating the following.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is scheduled for release on March 5th, but unfortunately it looks like we won’t be able to release the cards then. This is simply because we don’t seem to be getting any cards in stock.

Just like with other models in the RTX 50 series, we will release new cards one by one as they land in stock, and only make a fuss in cases where we might receive large deliveries.

We hope to start releasing cards and computers with RTX 5070 in the coming weeks. If you want to buy RTX 5070, we recommend that you keep an eye on inet.se and use “Notify me” on each product page, then you will receive an email when we release them for order. Keep in mind, however, that many people use this function, so the cards may run out quickly after the email goes out.

Why Inet could not get any of Nvidia’s day-1 RTX 5070 GPU supply is unknown. However, this occurrence makes it likely that Nvidia’s day-1 stock of RTX 5070 series graphics cards is low. This new graphics card will likely sell out quickly after its launch, as day-1 retail stock is likely to be minimal.

Inet had stock of all other RTX 50 series GPUs on day 1. Their inability to access RTX 5070 GPUs signals that local stock of this graphics card is lower than Nvidia’s prior RTX 50-series launches. Whether or not this issue is region-specific is unknown.

This situation makes it clear that Nvidia has not learnt anything from their other RTX 50 series GPU launches. With insufficient day 1 supply, this GPU launch will anger PC builders. Day 1 GPU supply is likely to disappear quickly. This means that would-be customers will be unable to purchase Nvidia’s new GPUs at reasonable prices.

Nvidia’s RTX 5070 release comes one day before AMD’s RX 9070 series release. Perhaps Nvidia hasn’t delayed its launch to ensure that early reviews cannot compare it to competing AMD products. Regardless, this launch is likely to be a disappointing one for Nvidia fans. After all, what’s the point of a product if you can’t buy it…
