Via Nvidia: 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 RTX 3070 is a very exciting graphic card, and with its more affordable price point and relaxed power requirements, this new graphics card is sure to be extremely popular. The RTX 3070 is geared to support the latest features, including NVIDIA Reflex for high FPS gamers, and Broadcast for streamers.
