Gigabyte RTX 5070 at MSRP: Includes Doom: The Dark Ages

If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a reputable retailer, now's your golden opportunity. 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 a powerhouse for gaming at up to 1440p, delivering high framerates and supporting the cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology. Plus, for a limited time, you'll receive a free voucher for the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages game with your purchase.

It's worth noting that the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While a few models are available at this price, they're notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. However, this is currently the best deal 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 an even more compelling offer.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 offers performance similar to the RTX 4070 Super. While we hoped for a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a stellar choice 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 better 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 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 nice feature for those with high-refresh monitors, but it alone might not justify an upgrade."
