If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards, now's your chance to grab one at its list price. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively to Amazon Prime members for $609.99, complete with free shipping. This GPU is a fantastic choice for gamers looking to enjoy high framerates at up to 1440p resolution and comes equipped with the latest DLSS 4 technology.
It's worth noting that the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While there are a few models at this price, they are notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked (OC) version. Nonetheless, at $609.99, this is the most competitive price you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

When compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 offers performance similar to the RTX 4070 Super. Although we hoped for a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a stellar choice for gaming at 1080p and 1440p. It launched at $599.99, which is just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super at this price point has become nearly impossible. The RTX 5070 not only looks better but also performs superiorly in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof option that will likely benefit from driver optimizations over time.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 delivers on its promise: to enable gaming at 1440p with high frame rates. However, it doesn't necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a boon for those with high-refresh-rate monitors, though it may not justify an upgrade on its own."
