Verdict

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is as close to the mainstream gamer's graphics card as you're going to get, and so I really had high hopes for this card. Unfortunately, it is a disappointment that doesn't give buyers much of a reason to buy it over an RTX 4070 Super or competing AMD cards other than its Multi Frame Generation capabilities. And for this card, that just isn't enough to justify an upgrade, even from two generation-old cards. Go for the RTX 5070 Ti or get a cheaper RTX 40 series card to hold you over for a couple of years.
