If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a reputable retailer, now's your golden opportunity to grab the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card at its list price. Exclusively for Amazon Prime members, this GPU is available on Amazon for $609.99 with the added perk of free shipping. This card is a powerhouse for gaming at up to 1440p resolution with high framerates and comes equipped with the latest DLSS 4 technology.
It's worth noting that the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 is $549.99. While there are models at this price point, they're notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked version, but rest assured, this is the best price currently available for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

Compared to its predecessor, the RTX 5070 delivers performance on par with the RTX 4070 Super. While we might have hoped for a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a stellar card 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 point is nearly impossible these days. The RTX 5070 shines brighter in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, offering a more future-proof option that will continue to improve with driver optimizations.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 delivers on its promise to handle games 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 nice feature for users with high-refresh monitors, but it alone might not justify the upgrade for everyone."
