If you've been eagerly awaiting the restock of one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards, now's your opportunity to snag one at the listed 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 gaming at up to 1440p resolution, delivering high framerates and supporting 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 at this price point do exist, they're notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked capabilities. Nevertheless, this is currently the most affordable standalone RTX 5070 GPU you'll find.

When compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 holds its own against the RTX 4070 Super. While we might have hoped for a more significant leap in performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a powerhouse 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 point has become nearly impossible. The RTX 5070, on the other hand, not only looks better but also performs better in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation. It's 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 is a nuanced card. It delivers on its promise to play games at 1440p with high frame rates. However, it doesn't necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a welcome feature, especially for those with high-refresh monitors, but it alone might not justify an upgrade."
