The best RTX 5070 GPU deal yet, grab a record-low MSI Ventus 2X OC for a mere $529 — card wields bulky heatsink and two fans to keep temps in check
Mid-range graphics for the masses

A far cry from the ultimate expense of yesterday's deal on the Nvidia Flagship RTX 5090 GPU deal, where the best GPU for gaming was still $2400 even on a sale, today's focus is on a more mainstream offering that is multitudes more affordable. Checking over the price history for the latest 50-series graphics cards from Nvidia, I came across this GPU deal from Newegg that smashes through the MSRP ceiling to offer the very latest RTX graphics card at an all-time low price, but there is a little hoop-jumping to go through to get the full deal.
MSI's Ventus 2X OC GeForce RTX 5070 GPU is now available at Newegg for a record-low $529. To achieve this price, the graphics card first received a discount from its original $629 to $559, and then you need to apply for a rebate of $15 that brings the price to $544, and finally, add the code MSIVTS at the checkout for a further $15 discount; bringing the total to $529.99. Checking PCPartPicker, this is a new record-low price for MSI's RTX 5070 GPU, and is now actually priced under the mythical RTX 5070 MSRP figure.
The RTX 5070 is one of Nvidia's mid-range entries for PC graphics and a capable card for most gamers. Being a 50-series card also means it can access all the benefits of Nvidia's latest software developments, such as DLSS 4 and Reflex 2. The MSI Ventus 2X OC is an overclocked variant of the RTX 5070 and features a twin-fan design over a large heatsink for greater heat dissipation. The GPU uses 6144 CUDA cores, has 12GB of the latest GDDR7 VRAM running on a 192-bit memory bus, and can reach a boost clock speed of 2542 MHz. On compatible hardware, the GPU can also make use of the latest PCI Express 5.0 integration.
The MSI Ventus 2X OC RTX 5070 features a dual-fan design, with the GPU using 6144 CUDA cores, 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM, a 192-bit memory bus, and a boost clock speed of 2542 MHz. A great mid-range GPU offering for PC gamers.

John Nemesh Why do you keep simping for Nvidia? This is a HORRIBLE "deal" for consumers when for only $70 more you can get a SIXTEEN GIGABYTE RX9070 that will outperform this card in every way...and will probably still be useful in 2 years, unlike the card you are shilling!Reply -

Um, according to Tomshardware review, the performance of both cards is very similar. The 9070 was only 7% faster in the 20 game Geomean @ 1440p ultra.John Nemesh said:Why do you keep simping for Nvidia?

Notton You will feel the 12GB VRAM limit very quickly with this card.Reply
If you're paying more than $500 for a GPU, don't get one with less than 16GB VRAM. -

Given how recent drivers have the 9070x pulling ahead of a 5070ti, I would expect that gap is larger now. You get more V-Ram, so the card will hold up longer. You don't have to deal with the horrible 12v high power connector, nor Nvidia's unusual inability to produce good drivers. -

So you want to spend almost $100 more, get worse software and get a card that is only marginally better than nvidia's only when DLSS, retracing, multi-frame generational support is all turned off. The only way the AMD card even comes close is when you don't use the Nvidia card properly to its fullest capability. That's bad advice.John Nemesh said:Why do you keep simping for Nvidia?

Worse software? BWAH HA HA HA HA (gasp) HA HA HA! Nvidia is the one with driver issues this gen. AMD's drivers are pretty solid. But hey, keep simping for the company ripping everyone off, I am SURE that will work out for ya!

LolaGT The vanilla 5070 is a poor buy, was from the start, it never got better.Reply
12 GB, 192bit bus, those are joke numbers for that money.
nvidia drivers are still bad as well. (wild that AMD software is superior now, that must hurt the team green jacket admirers) -
King_V I guess it's below MSRP. Then again, Ventus was the bottom-end MSI card, at least until this generation, where they made an even lower-tier model.Reply
I'm not aware of them making the Ventus beefier.
