I just watched the RTX 5070 effectively sell out before it even launched

The RTX 5070 should have launched at 9am ET today, but it almost feels like supplies of the Nvidia GeForce GPU didn't exist in the first place. I practically watched retailers switch their listings from "coming soon" to "out of stock" as soon as the clock struck, and I'm frankly confused.

If, like me, you went hunting for RTX 5070 stock today, you will have been greeted with the same disappointment at the likes of Newegg, Best Buy, and Amazon. Even monstrously priced custom models failed to show up at 9am, which is weird since I don't know why anyone would pay the same price for the card as the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. Yes, I know it's entirely likely that resellers managed to snap up all the GPUs first, but even that doesn't make much sense in my head.
