If you've been on the lookout for an affordable Blackwell card and waiting for it to come back in stock at a reputable retailer, your wait is over. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively for Amazon Prime members at the list price of $609.99, with the added benefit of free shipping. This GPU is a stellar choice for gamers aiming for high framerates at up to 1440p resolution and comes equipped with the latest DLSS 4 technology.
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 are exceedingly difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. Nonetheless, at $609.99, this is currently the most competitive price for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 offers performance that's 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 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 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 as promised, offering high frame rates at 1440p. However, it doesn't necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The inclusion of Multi Frame Generation is a welcome addition for users with high-refresh monitors, though this feature alone might not justify an upgrade for everyone."
