If you've been eagerly waiting for one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards to return to stock at a trusted retailer, now's your opportunity to grab one at the list price. Amazon currently offers the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively for Amazon Prime members at $609.99, complete with free shipping. This GPU is perfect for gaming at resolutions up to 1440p with high framerates and supports the latest DLSS 4 technology, enhancing your gaming experience significantly.
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're extremely scarce. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. However, this is currently the most affordable price you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 offers performance on par with the RTX 4070 Super. While we had hoped for a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a top performer 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 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 provide high frame rates at 1440p. However, its performance isn't markedly superior to that of the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The inclusion of Multi Frame Generation is a valuable feature for those with high-refresh monitors, though it may not justify an upgrade on its own."
