This GPU excels at 1440p gaming while remaining perfectly capable at 1080p resolutions. Performance benchmarks place it on par with last generation's RTX 4070 Super – not a revolutionary improvement, but considering the RTX 5070 launches at $50 below its predecessor's original price (especially now that RTX 4070 Super stock has vanished), it represents solid value. The performance gap expands noticeably in games leveraging DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation technologies.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 presents an interesting proposition. While it delivers on its core promise of smooth 1440p gaming, its raw performance doesn't dramatically surpass the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in this segment. The inclusion of Multi Frame Generation technology makes it particularly appealing for high-refresh-rate displays, though this feature alone may not justify upgrading from existing comparable hardware."
