GeForce RTX 5070 Price Drops to Low 80,000 Yen Range

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070, an upper mid-range graphics card launched in March 2025, has recently seen a dramatic decrease in its retail price. Initial pricing was set at a steep 108,800 yen, and limited supply drove real-world prices even higher, averaging between 110,000 and 120,000 yen during the early sales period.

Current Pricing Nears RTX 4070 Low

Supply conditions have now normalized, and rumors of an upcoming RTX 5070 SUPER model further influence pricing. As of September 8, 2025, Palit’s GeForce RTX 5070 Infinity 3 12GB is listed at just 83,980 yen. This represents a significant price reduction compared to launch, with monthly drops of 3,000 to 6,000 yen leading up to July, and another key drop of 1,820 yen in September.

The new price point of 83,980 yen is now approaching the lowest recorded end-of-life price for the previous generation RTX 4070, which reached 83,000 yen. Considering the performance improvements and ongoing inflation and exchange rate shifts, the RTX 5070 currently offers excellent cost performance, making it especially attractive for users upgrading from older cards like the RTX 3070 or RTX 3060 Ti.

Watch for the RTX 5070 SUPER

While the RTX 5070 is now a compelling choice, prospective buyers should be aware of the rumored GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER refresh, expected to launch in late 2025 or early 2026. The SUPER model is forecasted to offer about 10% higher performance, boosted CUDA cores, increased clock speeds, and VRAM expansion from 12GB to 18GB.

However, those waiting for the RTX 5070 SUPER should consider that it will likely debut near the original launch price of around 100,000 yen. Pricing for the SUPER variant is only expected to reach the low 80,000 yen range as the next-generation RTX 6000 series approaches, potentially in mid-2026.

Conclusion

For buyers considering an upgrade, the RTX 5070 now stands as a strong overall value in the Japanese market. Weigh price trends and future product releases before making your decision, especially if additional VRAM or slightly higher performance is a priority. Those satisfied with 12GB VRAM and strong price-to-performance dynamics will find the RTX 5070 near its historical low a highly attractive option for gaming and creative work.
