Where to Purchase Nvidia RTX 5070 Graphics Card

The much-anticipated Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, the first budget-friendly GPU in the Blackwell series, has officially hit the market today. Priced at an attractive $549.99, it's the most affordable option among the 50 series cards released so far. Nvidia has already introduced the RTX 5080 and 5090 in January, followed by the RTX 5070 Ti in February, making the RTX 5070 the fourth in line. While the Founder's Edition will not be available until later this month, third-party cards are ready for purchase right away.

However, Nvidia continues to face inventory challenges with its RTX 50 series, and the RTX 5070 might not be an exception. Retailers have issued warnings about potential shortages, exacerbated by bots that snap up GPUs for resale at inflated prices. If you're prepared to buy and fortunate enough to find one in stock, don't hesitate. Alternatively, consider prebuilt PCs equipped with the RTX 5090, which may remain available longer.

**TLDR:** While this article assumes you can purchase these graphics cards, be prepared for potential stockouts across all models and retailers. It's a common scenario with Nvidia GPU launches, so don't be surprised if you find them sold out.

Where should I preorder a RTX 5070 GPU?

Various retailers have listed the RTX 5070 for sale, but stock levels can be unpredictable. To increase your chances of securing one on launch day, check multiple retailers and proceed with the first available option. Competition is fierce, so even if a GPU appears in stock, you might not complete the purchase. Here's a breakdown of the benefits of different retailers:

Despite its power, the RTX 5090 FE boasts a slim 2-slot cooling solution that's smaller than the 4090.

Best Buy

Best Buy is likely your best bet for securing an RTX 5070 online, especially the Founder's Edition. They currently list FE and Gigabyte cards, with more from Asus, MSI, and Zotac expected soon. Stock availability varies by region, so living in an area with lower demand for the 5090 or 5080 can increase your chances. Best Buy also offers quick shipping or in-store pickup, ensuring you receive your GPU within days.

Newegg

Newegg is another top choice, offering a wide selection of third-party 5070 models from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and Zotac. They currently list 43 different models, though availability isn't guaranteed. As an authorized reseller, you're covered by the manufacturer's warranty when buying directly from Newegg. If standalone cards are sold out, consider their bundle kits that include other PC components, which sell out more slowly.

Nvidia Store

We reviewed the RTX 5070 GPU

The Nvidia 50 series GPUs were unveiled at CES 2025, emphasizing enhanced AI features over traditional raster performance. DLSS 4 technology claims to quadruple frame rates with minimal visual impact. While these GPUs offer a performance boost, opinions vary on their value for PC gamers compared to the RTX 40 series.

In our review, Jackie Thomas noted, "The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is complicated. It delivers 1440p gaming at high frame rates, but it doesn't necessarily outperform the RTX 4070 Super or other cards in its price range. It introduces Multi Frame Generation, which is beneficial for those with high-refresh monitors, but that alone might not justify the upgrade."
