Nvidia has announced a delay in the launch of its upcoming RTX 3070 graphics card. Initially slated for an October 15 release, the GPU will now arrive two weeks later.
Users will now be able to get their hands on the Nvidia RTX 3070 starting with Thursday, October 29, for the suggested retail price of $499.
“Production of GeForce RTX 3070 graphics cards are ramping quickly. We’ve heard from many of you that there should be more cards available on launch day. To help make that happen, we are updating the availability date to Thursday, October 29th.” the company wrote on its website.
Nvidia RTX 3070 Delay
“We know this may be disappointing to those eager to purchase a GeForce RTX 3070 as soon as possible, however this shift will help our global partners get more graphics cards into the hands of gamers on launch day.”
The Nvidia RTX 3070 delay will hopefully be enough to avoid a situation in which the graphics card sells out too quickly.
