If you’ve been searching for a budget-friendly option among Blackwell GPUs, here’s your opportunity to snag one at the listed price. Amazon is offering the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card exclusively for Amazon Prime members at $609.99 with free shipping. This GPU is perfect for gaming at up to 1440p with high framerates and supports the latest DLSS 4 technology. Additionally, for a limited time, purchasing this card comes with a voucher for the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages game.
It’s worth noting that the suggested retail price for a GeForce RTX 5070 card is $549.99. While a few models are available at that price, they have been scarce in stock. This Windforce model is priced higher due to its Overclocked (OC) variant. Despite the premium, this remains the lowest price for a standalone RTX 5070 GPU. According to Tom's Hardware, Nvidia is planning to increase GPU prices by 10%-15% soon.

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Windforce OC 12GB Graphics Card
Performance Overview:
Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 performs similarly to the RTX 4070 Super. While there isn’t a significant leap in raw performance, the RTX 4070 Super was already an outstanding card for 1080p and 1440p gaming at its launch price of $599.99—just $10 less than this Gigabyte model. However, finding an RTX 4070 Super at this price is nearly impossible now. The RTX 5070 outperforms the RTX 4070 Super 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: smooth 1440p gaming at high framerates. However, it doesn’t necessarily surpass the RTX 4070 Super or other GPUs in this price range. Its addition of Multi Frame Generation is beneficial for high-refresh monitors, but that alone doesn’t justify the upgrade.”
For 4K Gaming, Consider the RTX 5070 Ti

The RTX 5070 may struggle with 4K gaming, so for such resolutions, consider stepping up to the RTX 5070 Ti. This card rivals the RTX 4080 Super and offers the added benefit of DLSS 4 multi-frame generation support. Walmart currently lists a Zotac model for $837.98, while Newegg is another marketplace vendor.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Review by Jacqueline Thomas:
“At its price point, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the best 4K graphics card for most users. Not only is it significantly faster than its predecessor, but features like DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation ensure its relevance for years to come.”
