Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card could have better stock levels when it launches than the RTX 3080 or 3090, or that's the latest rumored claim. As Wccftech noted, PC Watch reports that word from retailers in Asia is that there will be a 'considerably larger' number of GPUs delivered to stores as part of the initial batch of cards. That's according to various retailers in Tokyo, but obviously, as with any rumor, we need to be very careful not to take this speculation at face value. Naturally, this report is about the Asia-Pacific market, but if supply strengthens there, expect it to be the case in other major markets as well. That said, previous rumors about RTX 3070 stock levels indicate they could be fragile, at least according to one European retailer (although this is only one source, Danish retailer Sports Store). We should treat these two conflicting rumors with equal caution, really, and only time will tell when the launch begins next week, on October 29, if the initial inventory levels of the RTX 3070 will really improve over previous releases. d'Ampere.
Nvidia lag
Fingers crossed that this is the case though, and it makes sense that the stock image would be improved given that Nvidia specifically delayed the launch for a fortnight to ensure GPU supply was more abundant. Although if the situation improves only slightly, the shares will still be sold in an instant without a doubt. Nvidia needs to do much better to ensure a smooth launch, and that's obviously where the question arises, especially given the low-quality launches of the RTX 3080 and 3090. We also recently heard that Nvidia may have plans for an RTX 3070 Super, and that there won't be a variant of the 3070 with double the VRAM (or even a similar twist on the RTX 3080, which has also been rumored in the past).
