If you've been on the hunt for a cost-effective Blackwell graphics card and waiting for stock to replenish at a trusted retailer, now's your chance to snag one at its listed price. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively to Amazon Prime members for $609.99, with the added benefit of free shipping. This GPU is an outstanding choice for gamers aiming to achieve high framerates at up to 1440p resolution, and it supports the cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology.
It's worth noting that the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 is $549.99. While a few models do exist at this price point, they've been notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce model is priced higher due to its OC (overclocked) version, but it remains the most competitively priced standalone RTX 5070 GPU currently available.

In comparison to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 holds its own against the RTX 4070 Super. While we hoped for a more significant performance leap between generations, the RTX 4070 Super was already a top performer 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 now nearly impossible. The RTX 5070 does offer enhanced visuals and performance in games that leverage DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof option that will continue to improve with driver updates.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 delivers on its promise to enable gaming at 1440p with high frame rates. However, it doesn't necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a valuable feature, especially for users with high-refresh monitors, but on its own, it might not justify an upgrade."
