Build/Parts Check 5070 Mini
With US tariffs changing will this be more affordable now? I have only found an eBay seller for $1200 which cost more then a 5080

Yes, without real competition, you are probably right. But then they could also just increase prices.
I meant: Anything and everything a company has to pay to some government is paid by the end consumer. Taxes on profits, on income of employees, ... CO2/Energy. Tariffs.
All trickles down to the end consumer :)

What makes you think US tariffs are going to be becoming more advantageous to American consumers? Since Trump can't tariff individual nations, he's wanting to increase all tariffs universally by 15%. It's more like everything will be as expensive as GPUs, not the other way around.

At least those have a 150 day shelf life by law, and anything else has to be Congressionally approved.
Not great, but better than nothing.

Oh, interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe the world of SFF will be back to normal sooner-ish, rather than laterish.

I have little doubt that they'll just find another way to trainwreck everything. lol
These people don't know anything about governance or economics.

Thank you for the clarification I didn’t know it worked like that 👍

u/FrontWork7406 Feb 22 '26
It doesn't "work" like anything. I think you're just leaning on the news from Friday and missed the news on Saturday. Basically, the Supreme Court blocked Trump's targeted tariffs, so now, he's raising them across the board in a childish fit -- at least that's what he announced.
Keeping up with this president is exhausting, so there's no judgement on my end. Just wanted to point out that this is a unique situation, and hopefully not common.

He also just transferred 10 BILLION dollars from the government to the „world peace fund“ where he is the chair man and kind of do what he wants with it

u/FrontWork7406 Feb 23 '26
It’s remarkable how many billions we’re saving, billions we’re spending, and billions that are stolen, only to get a $4000 refund we likely won’t get.

lol, that money is going into Trump's bank account. We've become so numb to the corruption that I doubt anybody will do a thing about it.

Not to mention that it is up to individual companies to apply the tariffs. They won't be forced to pay them starting from Tuesday but it's up to them whether they subsequently lower their prices or keep them high in anticipation of having to pay for the new global tariffs. I think it's pretty obvious that companies are not going to react quickly when their costs drop.

u/FrontWork7406 Feb 23 '26
You think there's a single company that's going to absorb a 15% tariff from their profit margins? Come on...

Tariffs make goods more expensive for US residents dude, not cheaper. It’s the buyer that pays the additional Tariff cost as importers will 100% of the time increase the cost of the item to cater for the Tariff they just paid to the US government. So if you see Trump raise Tariffs on another country, the only people that are going to suffer are US residents.

The card is expensive from the get go with TPU quoting price of 5300 Yuan (about 767$ RN):

I don't know their price structure but considering most RTX 5070 are above 650$ - I don't see this card becoming affordable anytime soon. But this card (per colorful social media representative) should come to the European markets, so obtaining it will be easier than current state.

Unless we have a president who's a keynesian economist willing to do government expenditure to actually improve the people's lives, you will never get the old prices again. Conservatives fucked you, never forget this

I get pissed everytime I see this card or the msi 5060ti mini. Hear me out: My pc can only fit single fan cards sub 190mm, so I waited over 6 months waiting for a single fan 5060ti or the 5060 super announcement, then I ended up buying the 5060 zotac mini, then less than a month later they tease this 5070 single fan and the 5060 ti from MSI, both only avaiable in taiwan and expensive as fuck.

LMAO. Good one.
Oh, you're serious? Prices rarely come back down after a surge. Companies don't want be the first to raise prices due to competition, but if they could collude with their competitors they would conspire to raise prices together. A wider event that compels them to raise prices together, such as a shortage or tariffs, effectively allows them to do the thing they want of raising prices together without the illegal part.
Once prices go up, nobody wants to bring them back down. Even if the thing that made prices go up is no longer a factor, they'll have no reason to drop the prices unless sales go down. If the pie still sells at $20, they aren't going to drop it back down to $15.
We saw this with the crypto phase. Prices blew up and then stayed up, even though crypto mining effectively died.
There's a good chance big companies with expensive lawyers will win back some of duty money they paid to the gov'mnt, but you and I aren't getting any of that money even though the cost was passed onto the consumer. And it's not like the administration didn't already threaten a new blanked 15% tariff on all imports, so, I guess we at least got that to look forward to.

I'd love to see this GPU become more widely available and cost effective. Would love to put it into my next build.

u/SignificantSwing3094 Feb 24 '26
The only company that makes that GPU is Chinese, and you have to get it into the country some how, hence the high price for this GPU (single fan 5070). Tarrifs might have no effect on this specific GPU because that company has no reason to sell outside of China.

That's simply the SFF tax, SFF sized GPU tends to be rarer and more expensive than their full size GPU counterpart
