Well this sucks, it sucks badly. Now i get to game on my Gtx 970 even longer
.If i wont be able to get a 3070 on that date, then i will definitely go AMD.

This could be a blessing in disguise because we don't need another fiasco like we saw with the 3080s and 3090s and this could add another coat of polish so to speak.

I'm sure this is mostly to do with Nvidia ensuring stability, since this product is probably going to sell better than the 3080 and therefore Nvidia (or really their partners) needs to make sure they're not overwhelmed with returns.
It's possible they're holding it off while they wait for AMD but the product is pretty much already made, so, unless they somehow manage to boost the clock speeds and maintain stability through a driver update, it's not like they can use the 3070 as a response.

Questionable choice. Thats right after amd unveil the navi cards so nvidia could loose many sales if it turns out good.
Maybe the card do not meet the expectations and need more polish.
