Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070: Where to Buy Guide

The long-awaited budget-friendly Blackwell GPU from Nvidia, the GeForce RTX 5070, has finally hit the market today. Priced at an attractive $549.99, it's the most affordable option among the 50 series cards to date. This marks Nvidia's fourth release in the 50 series lineup, following the RTX 5080 and 5090 launched in January, and the RTX 5070 Ti in February. While the Founder's Edition won't be available until later this month, third-party cards are up for grabs now.

However, Nvidia continues to face inventory challenges with its RTX 50 series, and the RTX 5070 might follow suit. Retailers have already flagged potential shortages, and past launches have seen bots snapping up stock to resell at inflated prices. If you're eager to get your hands on one and manage to find it in stock, act swiftly. Alternatively, consider prebuilt PCs equipped with the RTX 5090, which tend to stay in stock longer.

TLDR: While we hope there are GPUs available for purchase, don't be shocked if you find them sold out across various retailers. This article assumes availability but cannot guarantee it.

Where should I preorder a RTX 5070 GPU?

Various retailers have listed RTX 5070 graphics cards for sale, but stock levels are unpredictable. To increase your chances of securing one on launch day, check multiple retailers and complete the purchase at the first one that allows you to proceed to checkout. Competition is fierce, so even if a GPU appears in stock, you might not secure it. Below, I've outlined the advantages of different retailers based on my own experience trying to snag an RTX 5070.

Best Buy

Based on past Nvidia GPU launches, Best Buy might be your best bet for securing an RTX 5070 online, especially the Founder's Edition. They currently list FE and Gigabyte cards, with more from Asus, MSI, and Zotac likely to follow. Stock availability varies by region, so if you're in an area with lower demand for the 5090 or 5080, your chances improve. Best Buy's preorders ship quickly or are available for in-store pickup, meaning you could have your card in just a few days.

Newegg

Newegg should be high on your list, as it offers the widest selection of AIB 5070 graphics cards from third-party manufacturers. With 43 different models listed, including offerings from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and Zotac, you have plenty of options (though stock isn't guaranteed). As an authorized reseller, Newegg ensures you get the full manufacturer's warranty when buying directly from them. Even if standalone cards are sold out, Newegg sells bundle kits with components like motherboards, CPUs, RAM, or power supplies, which might be beneficial for DIY builders.

Nvidia Store

You might think the Nvidia Store would be the prime spot for the RTX 5070, but the Founder's Edition is often sold out immediately. If you're a loyal Nvidia user, there's a glimmer of hope. For instance, with the RTX 40-series, Nvidia sent special invites to those who had registered past GPUs or signed up for notifications via GeForce Experience or the Nvidia app. This could happen again with the 50 series.

Amazon

Amazon is a go-to for many, but finding an RTX 5070 can be tricky. The site lacks a centralized page for all video cards, and search results are cluttered with overpriced listings from marketplace vendors. To help, I'll list specific GPU models when available, but ensure you're buying directly from Amazon to avoid scams.

Adorama

Adorama might offer AIB 5070 cards at launch, but their preorder queue can be slower than competitors like Best Buy, Newegg, and Amazon. Even after securing a preorder, keep an eye on other retailers for faster delivery. Adorama, known for camera sales and printing services, is also an authorized Nvidia reseller with a physical store in NYC.

B&H Photo

B&H Photo may have the RTX 5070 available at launch, but like Adorama, preorders can take a while to ship. Keep checking other retailers for quicker delivery options. B&H Photo, similar to Adorama, started with camera and print services and has grown into a large ecommerce platform. They're also an authorized Nvidia reseller.

Micro Center (In-Store)

If you're near a Micro Center, it's your best chance to get an RTX 5070 on launch day. They prioritize in-store sales, so arrive early; some enthusiasts have been known to camp out in the cold. Micro Center is your go-to for immediate access to the latest GPUs.

We reviewed the RTX 5070 GPU

Nvidia unveiled its 50 series GPUs at CES 2025, focusing heavily on advanced AI features rather than traditional raster performance. DLSS 4 technology claims to quadruple frame rates with minimal visual impact. While these new GPUs offer a performance boost, opinions on their value compared to the RTX 40 series are mixed.

In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review, Jackie Thomas noted, "The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is a complex offering. It delivers on its promise of 1440p gaming at high frame rates, but it doesn't necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. It introduces Multi Frame Generation, beneficial for high-refresh monitors, but that alone may not justify an upgrade."
