If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a reputable retailer, your patience is about to pay off. 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 resolutions, delivering high framerates and harnessing the power of the latest DLSS 4 technology. And as a sweet bonus, 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 are available at this price point, they've been notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce model, being an OC version, comes in at a higher price. However, at $609.99, it's currently the lowest you'll find for a standalone 5070 GPU. Tom's Hardware reports that Nvidia is planning to raise GPU prices by 10%-15% soon, making this deal even more attractive.

Compared to the previous generation, 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 gaming at 1080p and 1440p, launching at $599.99—just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super at this price is nearly impossible now. The RTX 5070 offers superior performance and visuals in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof choice that will continue to benefit from 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. Yet, it doesn't outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range significantly. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a nice touch for those with high-refresh monitors, but it might not justify an upgrade on its own."
