The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G Ventus 2X OC usually sells for $559.99, but thanks to a special Newegg discount and rebate, you can get it now for just $479.99! This is an all-time low price for the GeForce RTX 5070, making it a fantastic deal.
The GeForce RTX 5070, one of the best graphics cards, launched at $549 in March, but we soon learned that the MSRP wasn't always reflected in the actual prices. Over the past few months, custom models have been selling between $600 and $800. It's pleasant to see the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G Ventus 2X OC now available at 13% off MSRP, offering a bit of relief for those looking to upgrade their graphics card.
The GeForce RTX 5070 12G Ventus 2X OC features a dual-slot design and measures up to 9.3 inches (236 mm) in length, making it a fantastic choice for those building or upgrading from a compact system. Although the Ventus series is part of MSI's "essential" lineup, it still offers impressive features like MSI's Zero Frozr cooling system, a sturdy heatsink, and the new Torx 5.0 cooling fans, ensuring great performance and reliability.
Being a custom model and an overclocked variant at that, the GeForce RTX 5070 12G Ventus 2X OC comes with a factory overclock. It features a boost clock of 2,542 MHz, 30 MHz above Nvidia's reference specifications. Plus, with a bit of help from the MSI Center software, it can go even further, reaching 2,557 MHz for enhanced performance.

The GeForce RTX 5070 is a fantastic choice for gamers playing at 1080p (1920 x 1080) and 1440p (2560 x 1440). It can even handle 4K (3840 x 2160) gaming smoothly when you tweak some in-game settings. The GeForce RTX 5070 wasn’t a bad graphics card at all; it garnered a lot of bad rep due to its high price tag, and the price hikes didn't do anything to help its case. Now, at $479.99, it's worth your consideration. The GeForce RTX 5070 is a viable upgrade option if you're looking to revitalize your gaming PC, especially if you're upgrading from a couple of generations prior and want to enjoy Nvidia's latest Blackwell gaming features.
