NVIDIA confirmed there is a hardware defect with some GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs and has offered guidance to affected users.

That's what we saw over and over again this morning when trying to buy Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti. Unfortunately, the GPU experienced the same launch-day troubles as the RTX 5090 and 5080: Low supplies and high demand made the PC graphics card nearly impossible to buy.

Nvidia's RTX 50-series makes its first foray below the $1,000 mark starting this week, with the $749 RTX 5070 Ti—at least in theory.
