If you've been eagerly awaiting the return of an affordable Blackwell card to reputable retailers, 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, complete with free shipping. This GPU is ideal for gaming at up to 1440p resolution with high framerates and 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 models available at this price, they are incredibly scarce. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. Despite this, it represents the best value you can currently find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

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 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 now nearly impossible. The RTX 5070 excels and outperforms the RTX 4070 Super in games that leverage DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof choice 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 enable 1440p gaming at high frame rates. Yet, it doesn't surpass the RTX 4070 Super or other GPUs in this price bracket in overall performance. The inclusion of Multi Frame Generation is a valuable feature, particularly for users with high-refresh monitors, but it might not justify an upgrade on its own."
