"Gigabyte RTX 5070 at MSRP for Amazon Prime Members"

If you've been eagerly awaiting the restocking of one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a trusted retailer, now is your opportunity to snag 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 stellar choice for gaming at resolutions up to 1440p with high frame rates and comes equipped with the latest DLSS 4 technology.

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 have been notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked (OC) version. Nonetheless, this is the most affordable price currently available for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 offers performance similar 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 gaming at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. It launched at $599.99, only $10 less than the price of this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super GPU at this price 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 benefit from ongoing driver optimizations.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is a nuanced product. It delivers on its promise to facilitate gaming at 1440p with high frame rates. However, its performance does not significantly outpace the RTX 4070 Super or other graphics cards in its price bracket. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a valuable feature for those with high-refresh monitors, but on its own, it might not justify an upgrade."
