To add to the point above: checking trackers is a solid move, but honestly, in my experience, picking the right brand to hunt for saves way more time than just spamming F5 on every single listing. I've tried many different board partners over the years and it usually breaks down like this:

• ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB is basically the gold standard for build quality. It has great VRMs and runs ice cold, but like elwqlvgtns said, it gets botted to hell. If you arent frame-perfect with your clicks, you wont get one.
• PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB Verto OC is way easier to snag. Its not as flashy and the cooler isnt as beefy as the TUF, but it hits the same clocks and actually stays in stock for more than 5 seconds. Ive used PNY for workstation builds and they are reliable even if they look kinda boring.
• MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB Gaming X Slim is a good middle ground. Usually has slightly better availability than ASUS but still feels premium with better clock speeds out of the box. Definitely keep an eye on those Telegram groups tho, those notifications are life savers when youre busy...

> To add to the point above: checking trackers is a solid move, but honestly, in my experience, picking the right brand to hunt for saves way more time I really wish I agreed, but honestly, my experience has been pretty rough lately. I picked up an MSI Ventus 3X GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB last month and was incredibly disappointed. The thermal headroom was just not as good as expected, and I had issues with the fan curve rattling under load. It feels like the build quality took a backseat to volume this time around. Honestly, if you are doing a custom loop or just want better component selection, stop chasing the big names. I swapped over to a PNY XLR8 Gaming VERTO EPIC-X RGB GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB recently and the power delivery is much more stable for my overclocking tests. It is definitely not the prettiest card, but it hits the performance marks without the constant throttling. Stop worrying about the trackers and look at the PCB component quality instead, because the flashy branding really doesn't guarantee you a working unit these days.

tbh it really depends on what youre looking for - are you hunting for a specific card like the ASUS TUF or just any GeForce RTX 5070 Ti you can find? I’ve noticed the bigger brands get botted way harder than things like Zotac or PNY. basically just wondering if you have a preference or if youre just going for the best price? Quick tip: Check the smaller retailers or the less 'flashy' brands first, they usually stay in stock for a few extra minutes. TL;DR: Brand matters for stock levels - smaller brands like Zotac or PNY are way easier to find than MSI or ASUS right now.

Just wait several weeks.
