Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review: $549 price and performance look decent on paper – by Tom's Hardware

Given the recent spate of sold-out launches, there's no reason to expect the 5070 to sell at MSRP any time soon.

Reasons To Buy

✓ Decent generational performance increase
✓ Same theoretical price as the RTX 4070
✓ DLSS 4 Transformers and other AI features

Reasons To Avoid

✗ Serious concerns with retail pricing and availability
✗ Multi-frame generation marketing claims
✗ Only 12GB of graphics memory
✗ RX 9070 lands tomorrow with 'better' specs

Verdict

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition looks good on paper, with 20% higher performance than its predecessor and a $549 MSRP. It's a good upgrade, but we can't help but worry retail availability will prove to be just as limited as with other Blackwell GPU launches, meaning the price is likely to climb significantly higher for at least a few months (and probably longer).
