Nvidia RTX 5070 falls to a historic low of $479 — GPU’s price now where it should have been at launch

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.
