Gigabyte RTX 5070 at MSRP: Includes Doom: The Dark Ages

If you've been eagerly waiting to get your hands on one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards, 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 at the list price of $609.99, with the added perk of free shipping. This GPU is a powerhouse for gaming at up to 1440p resolution, delivering high framerates and supporting the cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology. As a special bonus, for a limited time, you'll receive a free voucher for the much-anticipated 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 there are models available at this price, they are extremely scarce. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. However, at $609.99, this is the best deal you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU. According to Tom's Hardware, Nvidia is planning to increase GPU prices by 10%-15% in the near future, making this an even more attractive offer.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 offers performance on par with the RTX 4070 Super. Although we were hoping for a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a standout card for 1080p and 1440p gaming, launching at $599.99, which is just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super at this price is nearly impossible now. The RTX 5070 not only looks better but also performs better in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof choice that will benefit from ongoing 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, it doesn't significantly outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a welcome feature for those with high-refresh monitors, but it might not justify an upgrade on its own."

If your gaming ambitions extend to 4K, the RTX 5070 might struggle to keep up. In this case, consider upgrading to the RTX 5070 Ti.

"For the price, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti stands out as the best 4K graphics card for most gamers. It significantly outpaces its predecessor and, with DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, is poised to remain relevant for years to come."
