Hey everyone! I'm considering buying a Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti WindForce OC 16GB that I found for $870 plus tax at Best Buy. It seems like a decent deal compared to other listings I've seen that are upwards of $1000. I've heard the MSRP is around $750, so I'd be paying about $120 over that. Do you think it's worth it to go for it? Any thoughts?

It’s unlikely things will get any better. If you want the card now, just buy it. Being $120 over MSRP isn't a terrible deal considering the current situation.
Yeah, $870 seems to be the norm these days. If you need the card now, I wouldn't hesitate too much.
That $870 price is pretty solid given the current market. You won't find much lower than that right now. Just to compare, the 9070 XT isn't as strong and it's even pricier, so you've got a decent deal.
If you're keen on that card, just go for it! Even with the slight markup, you're saving $130 off the higher prices, and it's easier to return if you change your mind. What do you have to lose?
Honestly, don't expect MSRP prices to come back. This is the best deal you're likely to get right now, so snag it while you can.
I ordered it! I was just worried I might have overpaid. Do you think prices will ever drop back to MSRP this year?
