If you've been eagerly awaiting the return of one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a trusted retailer, now's your golden opportunity to snag one at its 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 gamers looking to enjoy high framerates at up to 1440p resolution, 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 there are a few models available at this price point, they've been notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. Nonetheless, this represents the most competitive price currently available for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

When compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 holds its own against the RTX 4070 Super. Although we might have hoped for a more substantial leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a top performer for 1080p and 1440p gaming. It launched at $599.99, just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super at this price is now nearly impossible. The RTX 5070 shines in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, offering better looks and performance than its predecessor. Plus, it's 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 as promised: it's capable of running games at 1440p with high frame rates. However, it doesn't necessarily outshine the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price bracket. The inclusion of Multi Frame Generation is a welcome feature, especially for those with high-refresh monitors, but on its own, it might not justify an upgrade."
