If you've been eagerly waiting for a more budget-friendly Blackwell card to restock at a trusted retailer, now's your chance to grab one at its listed 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 a powerhouse for gaming at resolutions up to 1440p, delivering high framerates and featuring the cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology.
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 notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked capabilities. Nonetheless, this represents the lowest price currently available for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

When compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 holds its own against the RTX 4070 Super. Although we hoped for a more significant performance leap between generations, the RTX 4070 Super was already a stellar 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 point is nearly impossible now. The RTX 5070 not only looks better but also performs superiorly in games that leverage 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 enable 1440p gaming at high frame rates. However, it doesn't necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price bracket. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a valuable feature for those with high-refresh monitors, but it might not justify an upgrade on its own."
