It's only been a couple of weeks since we left Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the rear view mirror, and although it wasn't the most amazing year I've seen for deals on tech, there were some deals to be had, and this year it was on graphics cards, certainly not on RAM. Hitting all-time lows in the sales, the RTX 5070 especially had some great prices popping up, and the good news is that after a lot of that stock ran out, there seems to be new stock available, although it does state "low supply". Today at Walmart, you can purchase the MSI Shadow 2X OC RTX 5070 12G for just $499, a solid $50 below its MSRP launch price, and way under what the cards were initially selling for.
With the below chart, you can see how the RTX 5070 compares against other GPUs in some of our games benchmarking tests, from 4K to 1080p Ultra settings. The RTX 5070 is a competent gaming card that holds the mid-tier position in the stack and performs exceptionally well in the 1440p sweetspot. Pairing good framerates and smooth gameplay with high settings and graphical fidelity.
In our review of the RTX 5070, we found that in our gaming benchmarks, the 5070 delivered a notable performance boost over its predecessor from the previous generation, offering 19% faster performance than the RTX 4070 at 1440p, with a wider gap of about 22% at 4K resolution.
