Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070, the first budget-friendly Blackwell GPU, has finally arrived, boasting the most attractive price yet in the 50-series lineup at $549.99. This is Nvidia's fourth 50-series release, following the RTX 5080 and 5090 (January) and the RTX 5070 Ti (February). While the Founder's Edition won't be available until later this month, third-party cards should be readily accessible.
Unfortunately, Nvidia's history with the RTX 50-series suggests potential inventory issues. Retailers have already warned of shortages, and past launches have been plagued by bots snapping up large quantities for resale at inflated prices. If you're planning to buy, act fast if you find one in stock. Consider pre-built PCs with the RTX 5090 as a potential alternative; these tend to remain in stock longer.
**TLDR:** This article assumes, but doesn't guarantee, RTX 5070 availability. Be prepared for potential sell-outs.
Quick Links: RTX 5070 Graphics Card Listings
Among the four Blackwell releases, the RTX 5070 is the most affordable at $549. Cheaper variants are expected later, but details are pending.
While retailers list the RTX 5070, stock is uncertain. To maximize your chances, check multiple sites and purchase immediately upon finding availability. Competition will be fierce.
Best Buy often offers quicker shipping/pickup than other retailers. Inventory varies by region.
Newegg typically has a wide selection of AIB cards. Check for bundles if standalone cards are unavailable.
Founder's Editions are usually scarce here. Consider registering for notifications.
Always buy directly from Amazon, not third-party sellers.
These retailers may have stock, but shipping times can be longer.
In-store only; expect high demand.
The RTX 50-series focuses on AI enhancements (DLSS 4). While offering a modest performance boost, opinions on its value compared to the RTX 40-series are mixed.
