The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 doesn’t truly pack RTX 4090 performance, at least not without AI shenanigans. Does that stop the GPU from potentially being a mid-range champion this generation? Absolutely not, but it heavily relies on DLSS and Multi-Frame Generation to get anywhere near close to last-gen flagship frame rates, and that might not be every player’s bag.
Rather than being a RTX 4090 rival, the GeForce RTX 5070 will furnish your eyeballs with approachable mid-range visuals for $549 / £539. At least, it should do if you can find any RTX 5070 stock at MSRP, and if the rest of Nvidia’s best graphics card contenders this generation are anything to go by, that could be painful. The moment you step into the wasteland of inflated AIB partner pricing, the UHD door practically slams shut on most mid-range player faces, including mine.
