Gigabyte RTX 5070 in Stock at MSRP, Includes Doom: The Dark Ages

If you've been eagerly awaiting the return of one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a reputable retailer, your wait is over. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively for Amazon Prime members at the list price of $609.99, complete with free shipping. This GPU is ideal for gaming at resolutions up to 1440p with high framerates and supports the cutting-edge DLSS 4 technology. Additionally, for a limited time, purchasing this card includes a free voucher for the much-anticipated game, Doom: The Dark Ages.

It's worth noting that the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While a few models at this price point do exist, they are notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce OC version comes at a higher price due to its overclocked capabilities. However, this is currently the most affordable option for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU on the market. According to Tom's Hardware, Nvidia is planning to increase GPU prices by 10%-15% in the near future, making this an opportune time to buy.

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 delivers 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 a stellar card for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with a launch price of $599.99—just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super at this price is nearly impossible these days. The RTX 5070 not only looks better but also performs better in games that utilize 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 of 1440p gaming at high frame rates. However, its performance isn't necessarily superior to the RTX 4070 Super or other GPUs in its price range. It does introduce Multi Frame Generation, which is a valuable feature for those with high-refresh monitors, but this alone may not justify an upgrade."
