If you've been eagerly waiting for a more budget-friendly Blackwell graphics card to restock at a reputable retailer, now's your chance to snag one at its list price. 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 stellar choice for gamers looking to enjoy high framerates at resolutions up to 1440p, and it also supports 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 a few models are available at this price, they are notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC version is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. However, at $609.99, it remains the most affordable option for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU currently available.

When compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 delivers performance similar to 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. It launched at $599.99, which is just $10 less than the price of this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super GPU at this price has become nearly impossible. The RTX 5070, on the other hand, offers superior visuals and performance in games that leverage DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof choice that will continue to improve with driver optimizations.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 delivers on its promise to enable 1440p gaming at high frame rates. However, its performance doesn't necessarily surpass that of the RTX 4070 Super or other graphics cards in its price range. It does introduce Multi Frame Generation, which is a valuable feature for users with high-refresh monitors, but this alone may not justify an upgrade for everyone."
