Gigabyte RTX 5070 at MSRP, Includes Doom: Dark Ages

If you've been eagerly waiting to snag one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards, now's your golden opportunity. Amazon is currently offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively to Amazon Prime members at the list price of $609.99, with the added perk of free shipping. This GPU is a powerhouse for gaming at up to 1440p, delivering high framerates and leveraging the latest DLSS 4 technology. As a special incentive, you'll also receive a free voucher for the upcoming game, Doom: The Dark Ages, with your purchase.

It's worth noting that the suggested launch price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While there are models available at that price, they're notoriously hard to find in stock. The Windforce OC model's higher price tag reflects its overclocked capabilities. According to Tom's Hardware, Nvidia is planning to increase GPU prices by 10%-15% soon, making this deal even more attractive.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5070 matches the performance of the RTX 4070 Super. While we hoped for a more significant leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already exceptional for 1080p and 1440p gaming, launching at $599.99, just $10 less than this Gigabyte 5070 model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super at this price is nearly impossible now. The RTX 5070 shines brighter in games supporting DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, making it a more future-proof choice 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. However, its performance doesn't surpass the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a nice touch for those with high-refresh monitors, but it alone might not justify an upgrade."
