Nvidia Corporation is an American multinational corporation and technology company. It is a software and fabless company which designs and supplies graphics processing units (GPUs), application programming interfaces (APIs) for data science and high-performance computing, as well as system on a chip units (SoCs) for the mobile computing and automotive market. Nvidia is also a dominant supplier of artificial intelligence (AI) hardware and software.

Nvidia's professional line of GPUs are used for edge-to-cloud computing and in supercomputers and workstations for applications in such fields as architecture, engineering and construction, media and entertainment, automotive, scientific research, and manufacturing design. Its GeForce line of GPUs are aimed at the consumer market and are used in applications such as video editing, 3D rendering and PC gaming. The company expanded its presence in the gaming industry with the introduction of the Shield Portable (a handheld game console), Shield Tablet (a gaming tablet) and Shield TV (a digital media player), as well as its cloud gaming service GeForce Now.

TL;DW Compilation: Please Don't Buy NVIDIA's RTX 5070 Ti GPUs (lemmy.ca)

To provide an answer to the title on why:

NVIDIA's limited GPU supply and high initial MSRP ridiculously increases costs for everyone.
PhysX 32-bit support has been depreciated.
12V high power cable is severely underspeced which may or may not cause problems into the future.
Scalpers are everywhere because of the limited supply and insane initial prices.
Market sellers such as Newegg are bundling NVIDIA's limited GPUs with overpriced and old components/peripherals.
- Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) buyers will be saddled with overpriced and useless e-waste.

The general consensus online seems to be that NVIDIA has fumbled their 50 series GPU launch in spectacular fashion. Best of luck to those who can buy the 5070 Ti at the marketed $749 USD MSRP.

With no 64-bit games using PhysX (that we are aware of), the technology is now end-of-life.

High-powered cables connected to delicate electronics should have some kind over current and over temperature protection.

Priced at "just" $749, the RTX 5070 Ti might be the most competitive RTX 50 series GPU to date.
