If you've been eagerly waiting for an affordable Blackwell card to return to stock 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 for Amazon Prime members at $609.99, complete with free shipping. This GPU is perfect for gaming at up to 1440p with high framerates and supports 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 a few models available at this price, they've been incredibly difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model is priced higher due to its overclocked version. However, at $609.99, this is currently the best deal you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 offers performance similar to the RTX 4070 Super. While we hoped for a more significant generational leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already an outstanding choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming. It launched 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 better but also performs better than the RTX 4070 Super 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, 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 valuable feature, especially for those with high-refresh monitors, but it may not justify an upgrade on its own."
