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 to grab one at the list price. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively to Amazon Prime members for $609.99, complete with free shipping. This GPU is a powerhouse for gaming at up to 1440p with high framerates and comes equipped with the latest 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 hover around this price point, they've been notoriously difficult to find in stock. This Windforce model is priced higher because it's an OC version. 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 GPUs, the RTX 5070 holds its own against the RTX 4070 Super. While we might have hoped for a larger performance leap, the RTX 4070 Super was already a stellar card for 1080p and 1440p gaming, launching at $599.99, which is just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. Finding an RTX 4070 Super GPU at this price is nearly impossible now. The RTX 5070, however, shines brighter in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, offering 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, its performance doesn't necessarily outshine the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a nice perk for users with high-refresh monitors, but it might not justify an upgrade on its own."

Walmart currently lists a Zotac model for $837.98, available through Newegg as the marketplace vendor.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"For the price, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti stands out as the best 4K graphics card for most gamers. Not only is it significantly faster than its predecessor, but DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation ensure it will stay relevant for years to come."
