A Pleasant Surprise: The Nvidia RTX 5070

We’re all still reeling from the power of Nvidia’s RTX 5090, but it’s time to shift our focus to another card that has piqued our interest: the RTX 5070. This is a GPU that flew under the radar at CES 2025, but we’re excited to explore its potential.

The xx70 Family: A Balancing Act

Nvidia’s xx70 GPUs have always walked a fine line between performance and pricing. Cards like the GTX 970 and RTX 3070 offered a sweet spot for gamers on a budget. The RTX 5070 seems to follow in their footsteps, offering a balance of power and affordability. We’re expecting big things from this card, and not just because of its price.

A Pleasant Surprise: Lowered Price

We thought the RTX 4070 would set the price bar for the RTX 5070. But no – Nvidia has actually lowered the list price, making it an even more attractive option. The RTX 5070 now retails for $549 / £549 (around AU$880), which is a steal.

The Potential is High

This is more than just a pretty penny; it’s a signal that the RTX 5070 is packed with power. With Multi Frame Generation, DLSS 4, and Reflex 2 on board, this card has the potential to outperform its rivals. And with its lower price tag, it could be the perfect option for gamers looking to upgrade without breaking the bank.

Achieving the Sweet Spot

We’re not getting ahead of ourselves, but the RTX 5070’s price and feature set have us excited. Whether it’s for 1440p or 4K gaming, this card has the potential to deliver an exceptional experience. We can’t wait to get our hands on it and put it to the test.
