Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070, the first budget-friendly Blackwell GPU, is finally here! Boasting a compelling $549.99 MSRP, it's the most affordable 50-series card yet. Following the January releases of the RTX 5080 and 5090, and the RTX 5070 Ti in February, this is Nvidia's fourth 50-series launch. While the Founder's Edition arrives later this month, third-party cards should be available now. However, be warned: Nvidia's history with RTX 50-series inventory issues might repeat itself. Retailers are already reporting shortages, and the threat of bots snatching up stock for resale at inflated prices remains. If you find one in stock, don't hesitate!
Alternatively, consider pre-built PCs featuring the RTX 5090; these may have better stock availability.
**TLDR:** This article assumes, but doesn't guarantee, RTX 5070 availability. Expect potential sellouts.

Where Should I Preorder a RTX 5070 GPU?
While retailers list RTX 5070s, stock is uncertain. To maximize your chances, check each retailer and buy the first card you can successfully add to your cart. Competition will be fierce.

Best Buy
Best Buy often offers quicker shipping/pickup than other retailers. Availability depends on your region.
Newegg
Newegg typically stocks a wide selection of AIB (third-party manufacturer) cards. Check for bundles if standalone cards sell out.
Nvidia Store
Founder's Edition stock is usually scarce. Consider registering for notifications.
Amazon
Carefully check vendors; buy only from Amazon directly to avoid inflated prices or scams.
Adorama & B&H Photo
These retailers may have stock, but shipping times can be longer.
Micro Center (In-Store)
In-store availability is your best bet if you live nearby. Expect high demand.
We Reviewed the RTX 5070 GPU
Announced at CES 2025, the RTX 50 series emphasizes AI features over raw rasterization performance. While offering a modest performance boost, opinions on its value compared to the RTX 40 series are mixed. Our review highlights its strengths and weaknesses.
In our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review, Jackie Thomas noted that while it performs well at 1440p, it doesn't necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. The addition of Multi Frame Generation is a plus for high-refresh-rate monitors, but may not justify an upgrade for everyone.
