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 list price. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively for Amazon Prime members at $609.99 with free shipping. This GPU is perfect for gaming at up to 1440p resolution, delivering high framerates and supporting the cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology.

It's worth noting that the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While there are models available at this price, they are notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked version. Nonetheless, at $609.99, this is currently the best deal you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

Compared to the last generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 offers performance similar to the RTX 4070 Super. While we would have liked to see a more significant leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a top choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with a launch price of $599.99—just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super at this price point is nearly impossible these days. The RTX 5070, on the other hand, outshines the RTX 4070 Super in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof option with potential improvements through driver optimizations.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 delivers on its promise: smooth 1440p gaming at high frame rates. However, it doesn't necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other GPUs in its price range. The inclusion of Multi Frame Generation is a valuable feature for users with high-refresh monitors, but it might not justify an upgrade on its own."
