"Gigabyte RTX 5070 Graphics Card Now at MSRP for Amazon Prime Members"

If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a reputable retailer, now's your golden opportunity. 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 powerhouse for gaming at up to 1440p with high framerates and boasts support for 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 a few models at that price point, they've been notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce model is priced higher due to its OC version, but at $609.99, it's currently the most affordable standalone 5070 GPU you can get.

When compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 offers performance that's on par with the RTX 4070 Super. While we hoped for a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a stellar 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 is nearly impossible now. The RTX 5070 not only looks better but also performs superiorly in games that leverage DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof option that will continue to improve with 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 necessarily outshine the RTX 4070 Super or other graphics cards in its price bracket. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a welcome feature for those with high-refresh monitors, but it may not justify an upgrade on its own."
