Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU has been delayed until late October in order to ensure more units are available for purchase, Nvidia has declared.
GeForce RTX 3070 will now be available to purchase on 29 October.
Nvidia said on its website:
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.
Both the Nvidia RTX 3080 and 3090 sold out in a matter of minutes, leading to an apology from Nvidia. The delay of the RTX 3070 is likely in place to reduce the likelihood of a similar issue.
