If you've been searching for one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell GPUs to restock at a reliable retailer, now's your opportunity to snag one at MSRP. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively to Prime members for $609.99 with free shipping. This GPU excels at 1440p gaming with high frame rates and supports cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology. As a limited-time bonus, buyers will receive a complimentary voucher for the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages.
It's worth noting that NVIDIA's suggested launch price for RTX 5070 models is $549.99. While some reference models occasionally appear at this price point, they're nearly impossible to find in stock. The Windforce OC version commands a premium due to its factory overclock. Currently, this represents the best available price for any standalone RTX 5070 GPU. Industry reports from Tom's Hardware suggest NVIDIA plans to implement a 10-15% price increase across its GPU lineup soon.

When benchmarked against previous generation cards, the RTX 5070 performs similarly to the RTX 4070 Super. While we'd hoped for more significant generational improvements in raw performance, the 4070 Super already delivered excellent 1080p and 1440p performance. Its $599.99 launch price makes this 5070 model only $10 more expensive - a negligible difference, especially considering the 4070 Super has become virtually unavailable at this price point. The RTX 5070 demonstrates superior performance in titles supporting DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, plus it benefits from ongoing driver optimizations.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 presents a nuanced value proposition. It reliably delivers high frame rates at 1440p, though not necessarily better than the RTX 4070 Super. The addition of Multi Frame Generation benefits high-refresh monitor users, but this feature alone doesn't justify upgrading from last-gen cards."
