Nvidia's RTX 5070 Graphics Card: A New Player in the Market
Nvidia's $549 RTX 5070 is set to hit shelves today, with slight performance gains over its predecessor. As with everything Blackwell, availability is expected to be a major concern, especially considering the frenzy surrounding launch days. The Founders Edition model will be available sometime later this month, so interested customers must pick between select AIB models at launch, assuming they haven't all sold out in the first five minutes.
- This move marks a significant shift in the graphics card market, as Nvidia seeks to capitalize on the growing demand for 6GB GDDR7 memory and 48-enabled Streaming Multiprocessors.
- With real-world prices likely to be much higher than the MSRP, consumers must carefully weigh their budget against the performance gains offered by the RTX 5070.
