Where to Buy the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Graphics Card

The much-anticipated Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, the first budget-friendly GPU in the Blackwell series, has finally hit the market today. Priced attractively at a suggested retail of $549.99, this card marks Nvidia's fourth release in the 50 series, following the RTX 5080 and 5090 in January, and the RTX 5070 Ti in February. While the Founder's Edition won't be available until later this month, third-party cards are ready for purchase right away.

Unfortunately, Nvidia has faced persistent inventory issues with its RTX 50 series, and the RTX 5070 might follow suit. Retailers have already issued warnings about potential shortages, and the GPU market has been plagued by bots that snap up stock to resell at inflated prices. If you're ready to purchase and fortunate enough to find one in stock, act quickly. Alternatively, consider prebuilt PCs equipped with the RTX 5090, which are likely to remain available longer.

**TLDR:** Be aware that this article assumes, but does not guarantee, the availability of RTX 5070 graphics cards. You might find that every model is sold out across all retailers, which shouldn't come as a surprise given the current market dynamics.

Where should I preorder a RTX 5070 GPU?

Several retailers are currently listing RTX 5070 graphics cards for sale, but it's impossible to know exactly how many units each has in stock. To increase your chances of securing one on launch day, you should check all available options and buy the first card that allows you to complete checkout. With thousands of others trying to do the same, even seeing a GPU in stock doesn't guarantee you'll be able to purchase it. Below, I detail the benefits of checking different retailers.

Best Buy

Based on past Nvidia GPU launches, Best Buy is likely one of the best places to try to purchase an RTX 5070 online, especially the Founder's Edition. While currently only listing FE and Gigabyte models, expect more cards from Asus, MSI, and Zotac to be added soon. Best Buy's inventory varies by region, so if you live in an area with lower demand for the 5090 or 5080, your chances of scoring a GPU here are higher. Best Buy also tends to ship preorders quickly, often within a few days.

Newegg

Newegg should be high on your list due to its extensive selection of AIB 5070 graphics cards from third-party manufacturers. Currently, there are 43 different models listed, including every model from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and Zotac. Ensure you're buying directly from Newegg and not a marketplace vendor to get the full manufacturer's warranty. Even if standalone cards are sold out, Newegg offers bundle kits with components like motherboards, CPUs, RAM, or power supplies, which might be beneficial if you're building a PC.

Nvidia Store

While it might seem logical to head straight to the Nvidia Store, the Founder's Edition is often the most sought-after model, leading to quick stock depletion. However, Nvidia has previously sent special invites to customers who registered past GPUs or signed up for notifications through GeForce Experience or the Nvidia app, so keep an eye out for such opportunities.

Amazon

Amazon is a vast marketplace, but finding an RTX 5070 can be challenging due to the lack of a dedicated page for video cards and the presence of marketplace vendors with exorbitant prices or scams. Always ensure you're buying from Amazon directly. I'll update with specific GPU models as they become available.

Adorama

Adorama may list AIB 5070 models at launch, but be aware that their preorder queue can be slower than other vendors. Even if you secure a preorder, keep monitoring other retailers for quicker delivery options. Adorama is a reputable authorized Nvidia reseller, known primarily for camera sales and printing services, with a physical store in NYC.

B&H Photo

B&H Photo might also offer the RTX 5070 at launch. Similar to Adorama, preorders here may take longer to ship. Continue checking other retailers for faster delivery. B&H Photo, like Adorama, started with camera and print services and has expanded into a large ecommerce platform, serving as an authorized Nvidia reseller.

Micro Center (In-Store)

If you live near a Micro Center, it's your best bet for securing an RTX 5070 on launch day. Micro Center typically reserves GPU sales for in-store customers, so arrive early. Some enthusiasts have already started camping out in anticipation.

We reviewed the RTX 5070 GPU

Nvidia unveiled the 50 series GPUs at CES 2025, focusing on enhanced AI features rather than raw raster performance. DLSS 4 technology is said to quadruple frame rates with minimal visual compromise. While these GPUs do offer a slight performance increase, opinions vary on their value for PC gamers compared to the RTX 40 series.

In our review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, Jackie Thomas noted, "The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is a complex GPU. It delivers on its promise of playing games at 1440p with high frame rates, but it doesn't necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. It introduces Multi Frame Generation, beneficial for high-refresh monitor users, but this alone might not justify an upgrade."
