Gigabyte RTX 5070 at MSRP, Includes Doom: Dark Ages

If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a reputable retailer, your patience is about to pay off. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively to Amazon Prime members at the list price of $609.99, complete with free shipping. This GPU is an outstanding choice for gamers aiming for high framerates at up to 1440p resolution and features the latest DLSS 4 technology. Plus, as a limited-time bonus, you'll receive a free voucher for the upcoming game, Doom: The Dark Ages, with your purchase.

It's worth noting that the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While there are a few models available at this price, they've been notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked capabilities. However, this is currently the best price you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU. According to Tom's Hardware, Nvidia is planning to increase GPU prices by 10%-15% in the near future, making this an even more compelling deal.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 delivers performance similar to the RTX 4070 Super. While we might have hoped for a more significant leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a top-tier card 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 is nearly impossible now. 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 that will benefit from ongoing driver optimizations.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 delivers on its promise to handle games at 1440p with high frame rates. However, it doesn't necessarily outshine the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. It does introduce Multi Frame Generation, which is a valuable feature for those with high-refresh monitors, though it might not justify an upgrade on its own."

If your gaming ambitions extend to 4K, consider upgrading to the RTX 5070 Ti.

For 4K gaming, the RTX 5070 might struggle, so stepping up to the RTX 5070 Ti is advisable. This card performs similarly to the RTX 4080 Super but with the added advantage of DLSS 4 multi-frame generation support. Walmart currently offers a Zotac model for $837.98, available through Newegg as the marketplace vendor.
