If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a reputable retailer, now's your chance to grab one at the listed 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 stellar choice for gaming at resolutions up to 1440p, delivering high framerates and featuring the latest DLSS 4 technology. Plus, for a limited time, you'll receive a complimentary voucher for the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages game with your purchase.
Keep in mind, the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While there are a few models available at this price point, they've been notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. However, this is currently the best standalone price you'll find for a 5070 GPU. Tom's Hardware reports that Nvidia plans to increase GPU prices by 10%-15% in the near future, making this an even more compelling deal.

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 performs similarly to the RTX 4070 Super. While we hoped for a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already an outstanding card for 1080p and 1440p gaming, launching at $599.99, just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super GPU at this price is nearly impossible now. The RTX 5070 does offer superior visuals and performance in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof option that will benefit from ongoing driver optimizations.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 delivers on its promise: playing games 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 nice perk for those with high-refresh monitors, but it might not justify an upgrade on its own."

Walmart currently has a Zotac model available for $837.98, sold through Newegg as the marketplace vendor.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"For the price, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the top choice for 4K gaming for most users. Not only is it significantly faster than its predecessor, but DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation will ensure it remains relevant for years to come."
