If you've been on the hunt for a budget-friendly Blackwell card and waiting for it to be back in stock at a reputable retailer, now's your chance to grab one at the list price. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively for Amazon Prime members at $609.99, complete with free shipping. This GPU is an excellent choice for gamers looking to enjoy high framerates at up to 1440p resolution and features 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 a few models available at this price, they've been notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked (OC) version. Nonetheless, this is currently the most competitive price you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 delivers performance similar to the RTX 4070 Super. While we hoped for a more significant leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a stellar choice for gaming at 1080p and 1440p, with a launch price of $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, on the other hand, not only looks better but also performs better in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof option that will benefit from driver optimizations.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 delivers on its promise: it enables you to play games at 1440p with high frame rates. However, its performance isn't necessarily superior to the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in this price range. It does introduce Multi Frame Generation, a valuable feature for those with high-refresh monitors, but this alone might not justify an upgrade."
