Although the MSRP for these cards range from $899.99 to $999.99, a reference GeForce RTX 5070 Ti card is actually supposed to sell for $750. More advanced cooling designs, a more uncommon colorway, or overclocking out of the box add to the cost, but even then, admittedly, these cards are still priced higher than AMD originally intended.

For current RTX 4060 Ti owners, the RTX 5060 Ti offers only modest improvements. Native resolution performance increases by 13% to 28%, depending on the application. While frame generation can significantly boost performance in supported games, its reliance on AI-generated frames may not justify the upgrade for all users.

Nvidia has said that the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti GPU MSRPs are "not inclusive of regional VAT or any tariff." This means should a tariff be put on PC parts, Nvidia is at least for now washing its hands of the whole pricing debacle that would surely follow.
