Nvidia's midrange GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card produces only modest performance gains over its predecessor while consuming more power, just as AMD steps it up with a potent Radeon alternative.

Nvidia's RTX 5070 won't hit RTX 4090 levels of performance even with multi-frame gen, but it works well for those who have a 1440p setup.

Of the four Blackwell releases, the Nvidia RTX 5070 is the most affordable of the bunch, sitting in at a retail price of $549. Less expensive variants will undoubtedly be released later during the cycle but the next official announcement has yet to be made.
