If you've been on the lookout for a budget-friendly Blackwell graphics card, now's your chance to grab 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, complete with free shipping. This GPU is perfect for gaming at up to 1440p resolution with high framerates and is equipped with the latest DLSS 4 technology.
Keep in mind that the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While a few models are available at that price, they're extremely scarce. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked (OC) version. However, this is currently the best price you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 offers performance similar to the RTX 4070 Super. Although we hoped for a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already an excellent choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming, launching at $599.99—just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super GPU at this price point is now nearly impossible. The RTX 5070 not only looks and performs better than the RTX 4070 Super in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation but is also more future-proof, thanks to 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 doesn't necessarily surpass that of the RTX 4070 Super or other graphics cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a plus, particularly for users with high-refresh monitors, though it alone might not justify an upgrade."
