If you've been eagerly awaiting the restocking of one of the more budget-friendly Blackwell cards at a trusted retailer, now is your opportunity to snag 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 an outstanding choice for gaming at up to 1440p resolution with high frame rates and supports the cutting-edge 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, they are notoriously difficult to find in stock. The Windforce model is priced higher as it is an OC version. Nonetheless, this is currently the lowest price you'll find for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU.

Compared to the GPUs from the previous generation, the RTX 5070 delivers performance on par with the RTX 4070 Super. Although 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. It launched at $599.99, which is 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 and performs better than the RTX 4070 Super in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation but also offers more future-proofing thanks to ongoing driver optimizations.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is a nuanced offering. It fulfills its promise of enabling high frame rate gaming at 1440p. However, its performance does not surpass that of the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price bracket. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a valuable feature, particularly for users with high-refresh monitors, but it may not justify an upgrade on its own."
