Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti GPU could have a February 20 launch to beat AMD’s RX 9070 to the shelves – but what about the RTX 5070?

Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti could be released on February 20, according to speculation from a tech site. VideoCardz has received information on the release date from Nvidia itself, which aligns with past rumors. Reviews of the graphics card models will reportedly arrive on February 19, with GPUs all on shelves on February 20. The card won’t have an Nvidia Founders Edition, which means only third-party models will be available to buy.
The RTX 5070 Ti’s price will be $749 in the US, or £749 / AU$1,109. Nvidia originally intended to launch the model on February 14 but the date was put back due to the Chinese New Year. The hope is availability will avoid the global shortage of GPUs, while fears persist that stock will sell out quickly, particularly those at the MSRP.
It’s not yet known where this leaves the vanilla RTX 5070, which is currently garnering more interest than the RTX 5070 Ti. Rumours suggest the RTX 5070 may be delayed until March 2025, even though Nvidia has yet to mention the GPU.
This comes as AMD prepares to launch its own RX 9070 models in March. However, they have also faced controversy of their own. Speculation and rumours ahead of GPU launches are rife, but few have been as thick on the ground as for Blackwell and RDNA 4.
The RTX 5070 Ti's release aligns with past rumours and is priced at $749. It won't have an Nvidia Founders Edition, which means only third-party models will be available to buy. 7This card may hold an advantage over AMD, whose RX 9070 models may have faced plenty of challenges.
Availability is hoped to avoid a shortage in GPUs while fears persist that stock will sell quickly, particularly those available at MRSP. Speculation remains around the potential release of the vanilla RTX 5070, which is currently garnering more interest than the RTX 5070 Ti.
Rumours suggest that the RTX 5070 may be delayed until March 2025, and it is uncertain what the launch of the RTX 5070 Ti means for the vanilla RTX 5070. AMD also looks to release its RX 9070 models in March, which has faced several challenges.
Ahead of the Blackwell and RDNA 4 releases, there has been more speculation and rumours than usual, as both Nvidia and AMD prepare to unveil their new models.
The release of the RTX 5070 Ti is aimed at outdoing AMD’s upcoming RX 9070 models, which have faced many challenges of their own. The question remains whether the RTX 5070 will be released at a similar time.
Rumours and speculation continue to circulate as the release of the RTX 5070 Ti and AMD’s RX 9070 draws nearer. Only time will tell what these releases will hold for the future of gaming graphics.
The RTX 5070 card may be delayed until March 2025, but it is the vanilla RTX 5070 that is currently gaining more interest than the Ti model.

Amazon EKS Managed Node Groups Unveil New Update Strategies, "Minimal Capacity"

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) has introduced new update strategies for its managed node groups, enhancing the way users manage their Kubernetes clusters.
Users now have the flexibility to choose between the 'Default' update strategy and the new 'Minimal Capacity' strategy.
The 'Minimal Capacity' strategy helps reduce costs by launching fewer new EC2 instances during updates, particularly beneficial for node groups with high-demand or limited-availability instances.
These new update strategies are available at no additional cost across all AWS Regions, except for AWS GovCloud (US) and China Regions.

Who is behind DeepSeek and how did it achieve its AI ‘Sputnik moment’?

DeepSeek, a startup founded just two years ago is being credited with a ‘Sputnik moment’ in the global AI development race by training an AI model on a par with OpenAI’s ChatGPT with less than $6m.
Founded in 2023 the startup is the passion project of millennial hedge fund entrepreneur Liang Wenfeng, who decided to focus on his obsession with AI and became successful by spotting patterns in stock prices using the technology.
Initially designed as a purely research-focused organisation with no profit drive, DeepSeek is bankrolled by Liang’s hedge fund, which reportedly has assets under management surpassing £11bn.
DeepSeek’s success in developing a powerful model with relatively modest financial resources may prompt further tightening of US controls, or undermine the idea that they can work effectively to halt China’s AI advancements.
The company’s preference for hiring local talent from Hangzhou, China, could also be helping to drive its success.
Some investors and analysts have expressed scepticism about DeepSeek’s claims, however, while some have suggested that the company has stockpiled advanced chips that it has not disclosed publicly because of US sanctions.
Regardless of doubts regarding DeepSeek’s claims, the fact that a startup has achieved this level of AI development competition with companies such as Microsoft, which plans to invest around $80bn in AI infrastructure this year, will surely cause some concern.
DeepSeek’s success may, in part, result from the company innovating because of, rather than in spite of, constraints.
The company is also known to pay well for top talent, poaching developers with job offers from bigger companies such as Nvidia.
There is much speculation right now over what could help China’s AI development progress in the face of US sanctions.

Android XR comes out swinging with our first look at Samsung Project Moohan, but the VR headset just makes me want AR glasses more

Samsung's VR headset prototype, Project Moohan, has been shown in a YouTube video by Marques Brownlee, along with some Android XR features.
Project Moohan has a similar design to the Apple Vision Pro headset, with a single adjustable strap round the back and optional light blockers.
It relies solely on hand tracking and supports mixed reality but lacks traditional VR controllers.
Android XR's Gemini feature is included, and is just as smart as your smartphone version, with many of the same features. It allows users to talk to it and search the web using voice.
Gemini would work a lot better on glasses than a headset, according to the article.
It is still early days, and Samsung and Google may be able to convince developers to create exclusive and meaningful uses for Moohan.
Samsung has not yet announced the price of Project Moohan.
TCL has three new smart glasses in the running for the best of 2025 and Asus' Tarius VR headset could use the Meta Quest 3's best feature to defeat it.
