The RTX 5070 excels at 1440p gaming, and it does a decent job at 4K. But it’s not a major upgrade over the RTX 4070, and it’s even less impressive in games that don’t support DLSS. With just 12GB of RAM,

At $549, the RTX 5070 will also come up against AMD’s new $549 Radeon RX 9070 and $599 Radeon RX 9070 XT when they launch on March 6th. If AMD manages to beat Nvidia’s RTX 5070 or come close to the $749 RTX 5070 Ti, that’s going to put a lot of much-needed pressure on Nvidia’s pricing.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 is virtually identical to the RTX 4070 Super it replaces, but with a dash of DLSS 4's Multi-Frame Gen magic.

At this price, and with this competition looming large, I just don't know how I can recommend the RTX 5070 as a genuine purchase for any PC gamer without major caveats. The GPU at its heart feels like it should be the basis for an RTX 5060 and now the rest of market might just force that upon Nvidia.

With the launch of the RTX 5090, 5080 and 5070 Ti out of the way, NVIDIA has opened the floodgates for the more pragmatic gamers with the launch of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card. Why pragmatic?
