Nvidia's most affordable Blackwell GPU – the GeForce RTX 5070 – launches today at $549.99, marking the fourth release in the 50-series lineup following January's RTX 5080/5090 and February's RTX 5070 Ti. While Founder's Edition models won't arrive until later this month, partner cards should be available immediately.
Potential Stock Shortages Expected
As with previous 50-series launches, inventory issues may plague this release. Retailers warn of limited stock, with recent Nvidia launches primarily serving scalpers using bots to flip GPUs at inflated prices. If you find one available, act quickly – you might also consider RTX 5090 prebuilt systems which tend to stay in stock longer.
Note: Actual availability isn't guaranteed. Don't be surprised if all models show as sold out across all retailers.

Review Insights
Our testing found the RTX 5070 delivers solid 1440p performance but offers marginal improvements over RTX 4070 Super. While DLSS 4's frame generation shows promise, it may not justify upgrading from last-gen cards.
