Gigabyte RTX 5070 at MSRP, Includes Doom: Dark Ages

If you've been eagerly awaiting the return of one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards to the shelves of a reputable retailer, your patience is about to be rewarded. 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 looking to play at up to 1440p resolution with high frame rates and comes with support for the cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology. As an added bonus, for a limited time, 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 are notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked (OC) version. Nonetheless, this is currently the lowest 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 deal even more appealing.

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 offers 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 stellar card for 1080p and 1440p gaming, launching 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 is nearly impossible nowadays. The RTX 5070 shines in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, offering a more future-proof solution that will benefit from driver optimizations over time.

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, it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a welcome feature for those with high-refresh monitors, but it alone may not justify an upgrade."

Walmart is currently selling a Zotac model for $837.98, with Newegg acting as the marketplace vendor.
