If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a reputable retailer, now's your chance to grab 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 a stellar choice for gaming at up to 1440p with high frame rates and comes equipped with the latest DLSS 4 technology.
It's worth noting that the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While a few models are available at this price point, they've been notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce model is priced higher due to its OC version, but rest assured, this is currently the most competitive price you'll find for a standalone 5070 GPU.

When compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 holds its own against 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 card for 1080p and 1440p gaming, launching at $599.99—just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super GPU at this price has become 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 continue to improve with 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 graphics cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a valuable feature, especially for those with high-refresh monitors, but it might not justify the upgrade on its own."
