If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards, now's your golden opportunity. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively to Amazon Prime members at the list price of $609.99, complete with free shipping. This GPU is a stellar choice for gamers aiming for high framerates at up to 1440p resolution and comes equipped with the latest 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're incredibly scarce. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. Nevertheless, this is currently the best deal you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

When compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 delivers performance on par with 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 nearly impossible nowadays. The RTX 5070 shines brighter in games that leverage DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, offering a more future-proof solution that will likely benefit from ongoing driver optimizations.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 delivers on its promise to enable high frame rate gaming at 1440p. However, its performance isn't necessarily a significant leap over the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price bracket. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a valuable feature, especially for users with high-refresh rate monitors, but on its own, it might not justify the upgrade cost."
