Asked By WanderingGamer123 On

Hey folks! I'm looking to replace my old i7 7700k and GTX 1070 setup and am considering picking up a GTX 5070ti while I'm in Europe for a few weeks. The prices for Nvidia cards in Canada are pretty insane right now, and I've noticed that in Spain, the 5070ti is priced around €900, which is about $1442 CAD. With the Canadian tax on top, my total would be roughly $1525 CAD, which is what they're going for back home. I'm curious if it's worth it to buy it in Europe, especially with potential customs fees and the hassle of transporting it. Also, I'll be visiting Barcelona, Paris, Naples, and Berlin – any insights on the best country for prices? Thanks!

From a dollar perspective, it might be worth it. Just keep in mind you’ll lose warranty support, which could be a big deal. If you're gonna buy it, Germany might be your best bet for pricing.

Yeah, that warranty thing has me worried too. I think I’ll check with brands like Gigabyte and Asus to see if there’s any way to keep that warranty intact.
