If you've been eagerly awaiting the return of an affordable Blackwell graphics card, now is your chance to snag one at list price. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively for Amazon Prime members at $609.99, complete with free shipping. This GPU is perfect for gaming at up to 1440p with high frame rates and supports the cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology. Additionally, for a limited time, you'll receive a free voucher for the upcoming game, Doom: The Dark Ages, 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 at this price point, they've been notoriously hard to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked performance. At $609.99, this is the lowest price currently available 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 deal even more attractive.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 offers performance similar to the RTX 4070 Super. While a more significant generational leap in raw performance would have been ideal, the RTX 4070 Super was already a top performer 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 nearly impossible today. 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 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 necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a boon for those with high-refresh monitors, though it alone might not justify the upgrade."
