Despite the industry navigating an alarming component shortage due to the AI boom, it's the GPUs that seem least affected. So, it's the perfect time to upgrade before they get swept up in the chaos next year. We've found the deal for you this Black Friday. You can get MSI's RTX 5070 Shadow 12 GB for just $479.99 on Newegg right now, with a $20 cashback. That's an $83 discount, increased to $103 after applying the rebate.
MSI's Shadow RTX 5070 has a dual-fan design with stealthy aesthetics, but that doesn't mean it's not premium. It still features a reinforced metal structure, with a solid backplate sitting over a dense heatsink with a nickel-plated base copper plate. Since this is only a 250W GPU, the two fans are enough to keep it cool, even in a small chassis, which makes it part of Nvidia's SFF-Ready Enthusiast GeForce Cards.
Checking the benchmarks above, the RTX 5070 performs well across all games, posting numbers right in the middle of the pack, true to its midrange nature. We gave AMD's RX 9070 XT the top spot in our best gaming GPUs roundup, but at this price, the RTX 5070 also becomes a no-brainer, especially when you take into account the Green Team's superior software suite, which includes things like RTX HDR. So, don't wait and grab the MSI Shadow RTX 5070 for just $479.99 before it sells out!
