If you've been eagerly waiting for a more budget-friendly Blackwell card to become available at a reputable retailer, now's your chance to snag one at the 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 comes equipped with the latest DLSS 4 technology.
Keep in mind, the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While there are a few models available at this price, they are incredibly scarce. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. Despite this, it remains the most affordable option for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU currently on the market.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 performs on par with the RTX 4070 Super. While we would have preferred a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already an outstanding choice 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 not only looks and performs better in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation but is also more future-proof, benefiting 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, its performance doesn't significantly outshine the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a welcome feature, especially for users with high-refresh monitors, but it alone might not justify the upgrade for everyone."
