Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070, the first budget-friendly Blackwell GPU, is finally here! Boasting a compelling $549.99 MSRP, it's the most affordable 50-series card yet. Following the January releases of the RTX 5080 and 5090, and the RTX 5070 Ti in February, this marks Nvidia's fourth 50-series launch. While the Founder's Edition arrives later this month, third-party cards should be available now.
Unfortunately, Nvidia's history with RTX 50-series inventory issues continues. Retailers are already warning of shortages, and the threat of bots snapping up cards for resale at inflated prices remains. If you find one in stock, don't hesitate!
TLDR; This article assumes, but doesn't guarantee, RTX 5070 availability. Be prepared for potential sellouts.

Where Should I Preorder an RTX 5070 GPU?
The retailers listed above offer the RTX 5070, but stock is unpredictable. To maximize your chances, check each site and buy from the first that allows a complete checkout. Competition will be fierce.

Best Buy is a strong contender, particularly for Founder's Editions, and often ships quickly.

Our RTX 5070 GPU Review
The RTX 50-series emphasizes AI features over raw rasterization performance. While offering a modest performance boost, its value compared to the RTX 4070 Super is debatable. Multi Frame Generation is a plus for high-refresh-rate monitors.
