Newegg now has some more of its RTX 5070s showing prices, which I’ve updated in the tables above. There’s even a card that we didn’t previously think would be going for MSRP but is, in fact, listed for $550, this being the MSI Ventus 2X OC.
In fact, here’s a list of all the Newegg MSRP RTX 5070 cards:
At least Best Buy has actually got its RTX 5070 prices listed, though. Most listings on other retailers still say ‘out of stock’ or ‘coming soon’ or something similar. Newegg’s got a handful of prices listed, too, though.
And while we’re doing spot the difference, let’s compare these two listings:
Yes, that’s an RTX 5070 that’s just $10 cheaper than an RTX 5070 Ti. Pricing can seem like a cruel joke sometimes, can it not? And let’s not talk about that ‘Coming Soon’ button…

And honestly, pictures can sometimes say more than words. So let’s play spot-the-difference with these two images our Jeremy shared with us earlier today—you can click through left and right.
Notice anything? (Hint: It’s not the prices.)
Assuming those OCUK numbers are correct, gamers seem far more interested in the RX 9070/XT cards than the RTX 5070… shocker, I know.

Again, pictures sometimes say more than words (well, pictures with words in, at least…).
And yes, that means the Founders Edition RTX 5070 is now listed at Best Buy.
The RTX 5070 is the one our Dave tested for his review, and it’s the one many of you will be wanting to get your hands on. It’s small, looks rather dashing as FE cards tend to, overclocks pretty well, and will actually sell for its MSRP, and MSRP is about as much as many will be wanting to spend on this card, to be honest.
That’s because it feels a little more like an RTX 5060 than an RTX 5070.
As Dave explains: “There are 14% fewer cores here than with the RTX 4070 Super, all on a GB205 GPU which is 11% smaller than the AD104 and has 13% fewer transistors. Essentially, it’s a smaller, simpler, and theoretically cheaper GPU to produce. Traditional logic would argue that those numbers should equate to a lower class chip in any subsequent generation, not an equivalently priced card.”
Various RTX 5070 graphics cards are now listed on Best Buy. I’ve updated the tables above with pricing, but here are the MSRP cards (plus one for $600) on Best Buy:
The RTX 5070 is a graphics card that arguably depends on sticking to MSRP or close-to-MSRP pricing more than any other 50-series card launched so far.
That’s primarily because, as Dave points out in his RTX 5070 review, the gen-on-gen performance improvement (excluding Multi Frame Gen) is just 13%, and there’s the looming spectre of the RX 9070-series cards which should offer serious competition if the promised performance is anything to go by.
So yeah, just a handful of MSRP RTX 5070s doesn’t fill me with confidence, but we’ll see…
Hello hello, and welcome to the pandemonium.
Jacob here. I’ll be spending today keeping my eye on stocks and prices for all these RTX 5070 cards and will keep you posted on anything of interest. Hopefully that’ll be some MSRP cards actually in stock, but we’ll see…
