If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards, now's your golden opportunity 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 a stellar choice for gamers aiming for high framerates at up to 1440p resolution and it supports the cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology.
Keep in mind, the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card stands at $549.99. While a few models do hover around this price, they're notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC model's higher price tag is justified by its overclocked performance. Currently, this is the most competitively priced standalone RTX 5070 GPU you can find.

In comparison to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 holds its own against the RTX 4070 Super. Although we hoped for a more significant leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already a powerhouse for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with a launch price of $599.99—just $10 shy of this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super at this price is now a challenge. The RTX 5070 not only looks and performs better in games that leverage DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation but also promises better future-proofing with 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. Yet, it doesn't necessarily outshine the RTX 4070 Super or other GPUs in its price bracket. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a boon for those with high-refresh monitors, though it might not justify an upgrade on its own."
