If you've been on the lookout for a budget-friendly Blackwell graphics card, now's your chance to snag one at its list 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 bonus of free shipping. This GPU is perfect for gaming at up to 1440p resolutions with high frame rates and comes equipped with the latest DLSS 4 technology.
Keep in mind, the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 is $549.99. While there are models available at this price, they are extremely scarce. The Windforce OC version is priced higher due to its overclocked capabilities. Nonetheless, this is the best price you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU at the moment.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 offers performance similar to the RTX 4070 Super. While we hoped for a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a stellar choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with a launch price of $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 not only looks better but also performs superiorly in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof option with potential improvements through 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. However, its performance isn't a significant improvement over the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a nice feature for those with high-refresh monitors, but it alone may not justify an upgrade."
