Nvidia's budget-friendly Blackwell GPU, the GeForce RTX 5070, has finally arrived, boasting the most appealing price point yet in the 50-series lineup at $549.99. This marks Nvidia's fourth 50-series release, following the RTX 5080 and 5090 (January) and the RTX 5070 Ti (February). While the Founder's Edition will be released later this month, third-party cards should be available immediately.
Unfortunately, Nvidia's history with the RTX 50-series suggests potential inventory issues. Retailers have already warned of shortages, and previous launches have been hampered by bots snapping up large quantities for resale at inflated prices. If you're ready to buy and manage to find one in stock, don't hesitate.
TLDR; This article assumes, but doesn't guarantee, RTX 5070 availability. Be prepared for potential sellouts.

RTX 5070 Review
The RTX 50 series, announced at CES 2025, emphasizes AI features over raw rasterization performance. While offering a modest performance boost, opinions on its value compared to the RTX 4070 Super are mixed. Our review highlights its 1440p performance but questions whether it's a worthwhile upgrade.
