If you've been eagerly waiting for a chance to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards, now's your moment to grab the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card at its list price. Exclusively for Amazon Prime members, this GPU is available for $609.99 with free shipping. This card is a powerhouse for gaming at up to 1440p with high framerates and boasts support for the latest DLSS 4 technology. As a bonus, you'll receive a free voucher for the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages game with your purchase, but hurry, this offer is for a limited time only.

It's worth noting that the suggested launch price of a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While there are models available at this price point, they've been incredibly difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked capabilities. Currently, this is the lowest price you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU. In fact, Tom's Hardware reports that Nvidia is planning to increase GPU prices by 10%-15% in the near future.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 offers performance similar to the RTX 4070 Super. While we hoped for a larger generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already an excellent choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming, launching at $599.99, just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super at this price has become nearly impossible. The RTX 5070 not only looks better but also performs better in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof option with potential improvements via driver optimizations.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is a bit of a mixed bag. It delivers on its promise to play games at 1440p with high frame rates, yet it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a nice touch for users with high-refresh monitors, but it might not justify the upgrade for everyone."

If your sights are set on 4K gaming, the RTX 5070 might struggle to keep up. In that case, consider upgrading to the RTX 5070 Ti, which matches the performance of the RTX 4080 Super and offers the additional advantage of DLSS 4 multi-frame generation support. Walmart currently has a Zotac model available for $837.98.

"For its price, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti stands out as the top choice for 4K gaming. Not only does it significantly outpace its predecessor, but with DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, it's set to remain a relevant choice for years to come."
