Nvidia released its latest GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs in January, and they're almost impossible to buy at retail. The powerful graphics card not only pushes the boundaries of how PC games can look, but they also make use of AI to make the hardware work more efficiently.

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

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.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the first mid-range Blackwell card, and brings 4K gaming down to a more affordable, but still expensive, price tag.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti packs great 4K performance not too far off the RTX 5080, but custom options like the Gigabyte Gaming OC model cost near the same.

The launch of Nvidia's RTX 50-series hasn't gone well so far, and it seems that things aren't about to improve anytime soon.The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox
