Gamers, get ready for an amazing surprise! If you’ve been patiently waiting for a more budget-friendly Blackwell graphics card, the moment has arrived. The RTX 5070 has just plunged below its original launch price! Amazon Prime members can now snag the MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 12GB Graphics Card for an incredible $499.99 with free shipping, down from its initial $550. This GPU is a fantastic choice for smooth 1440p gaming at high framerates, especially when taking advantage of DLSS 4. The specific Asus Prime model mentioned boasts a triple-fan cooler, offering superior cooling performance and quieter operation compared to dual-slot designs, provided your PC case has adequate space.
When stacking up against its predecessor, the RTX 5070 delivers performance comparable to the RTX 4070 Super. While we hoped for a more significant leap in raw power between generations, the RTX 4070 Super was already a stellar performer for immersive 1080p and 1440p gaming experiences. With the RTX 4070 Super now discontinued and primarily found on the used market, the RTX 5070 steps in as a compelling alternative. Crucially, the RTX 5070 fully supports DLSS 4 with advanced multi-frame generation, dramatically boosting performance in compatible titles such as Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and Doom: The Dark Ages.
