Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070, the first budget-friendly Blackwell GPU, is finally here! Boasting a compelling $549.99 MSRP, it's the most affordable 50-series card yet. Following the January releases of the RTX 5080 and 5090, and the RTX 5070 Ti in February, this is Nvidia's fourth 50-series launch. While the Founder's Edition arrives later this month, third-party cards should be available now.
Unfortunately, Nvidia's history with RTX 50-series inventory issues continues. Retailers warn of shortages, and past launches have been plagued by bots snatching up GPUs for resale at inflated prices. If you find one in stock, don't hesitate!
TLDR; This article *assumes*, not guarantees, GPU availability. Expect potential sellouts.

Where to Preorder an RTX 5070 GPU?
Retailers list RTX 5070s, but stock is uncertain. Check frequently and buy immediately upon finding one.
Best Buy
Best Buy is a strong contender, especially for Founder's Editions, often shipping quickly.

Founder's Editions are rarely in stock here; consider registering for notifications.
Amazon
Navigating Amazon can be challenging; only buy from Amazon directly, avoiding marketplace vendors.

Adorama may have AIB 5070s but preorders can take a while to ship.

Similar to Adorama, B&H Photo might have stock, but shipping times may be lengthy.

Micro Center is your best in-store option if you're nearby. Expect crowds.
RTX 5070 GPU Review
The RTX 50-series emphasizes AI features over raw raster performance. While offering a modest performance boost, its value compared to the RTX 4070 Super is debated.
Our review states that the RTX 5070 performs as advertised (1440p high frame rates), but doesn't necessarily outperform other cards in its price range. Multi Frame Generation is a positive addition, but might not justify an upgrade for all.
