If you've been waiting for one of the more affordable Blackwell cards to come back in stock at a reputable retailer, here's a shocker: the RTX 5070 graphics card has dropped back down to its launch price. Amazon is currently offering Amazon Prime members a chance to pick up the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5070 12GB Graphics Card for $548.99 with free shipping. The RTX 5070 is an excellent GPU for gaming at up to 1440p with high framerates, especially with DLSS 4 enabled. The Asus Prime uses a triple fan cooler, which is preferred over dual slot solutions for its better cooling potential and lower noise, as long as your PC case has the proper clearance.

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 performs comparably with the RTX 4070 Super. We wish there was a bigger generation improvement in raw performance, but the RTX 4070 Super was already an excellent card for 1080p and 1440p gaming. In any case, the RTX 4070 Super GPU has since been discontinued and is only readily available in the used market. The RTX 5070 also supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, and the performance gap widens in games that support this new technology , like Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and Doom: The Dark Ages.
The Asus Prime model boasts a triple-fan cooler design. If you're not constrained by space, a triple-fan cooler is preferred over dual-fan because it does a better job of keeping temps down. It's generally quieter too because the fans don't have to run at a higher speed. A triple-fan cooler generally costs more, which makes this deal even better.
