Tom's Hardware: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review: $549 price and performance look decent on paper
Given the recent spate of sold-out launches, there's no reason to expect the 5070 to sell at MSRP any time soon.

eTeknix: Nvidia RTX 5070 Founders Edition Graphics Card Review
Another day, another GPU launch, and while I’m happy as that keeps us busy, it’s not exactly been plain sailing in terms of stock availability, performance uplifts generation to generation, and general niggles and issues that you get with any new product, though hopefully today, we can push forward and look at a card that is likely going to appeal to more of a mass market, as the RTX 5070 comes in with an MSRP of $549 and is set to give those who bought the ever-so popular RTX 3070 a worthy reason to upgrade. Nvidia RTX 5070 Founders
IgorsLAB: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition Review - When AI has to help out on the finish line
Yes, what have we here? With the GeForce RTX 5070 FE, NVIDIA has now launched a new graphics card on the market that leaves me somewhat perplexed in many respects. I’m deliberately putting this up front, because you have to read today’s review carefully and also get involved in the subtleties, which I will highlight more visually this time. No, I’m certainly not going to write a rant, even if you have to ask yourself what NVIDIA is trying to achieve with this card. Because one thing is clear: the development is already very visibly reaching its physical limits.

KitGuru: Nvidia RTX 5070 Review: RTX 4090 Performance?
Following on from the RTX 5070 Ti that hit the market last month, today we can present our review of Nvidia's new RTX 5070. The smallest Blackwell GPU yet, it's also the cheapest xx70-class SKU since the launch of the RTX 3070 back in October 2020, given it lands with a £539/$549 MSRP. On-paper specs don't suggest much of a leap forward compared to the RTX 4070 Super, though, so just how fast is this new graphics card? We look at rasterisation, ray tracing, DLSS 4 and more to find out, while also putting Nvidia's claim of ‘RTX 4090' performance to the test…
BabelTechReviews: Nvidia RTX 5070 Review – The Most Underwhelming GPU of the Generation?
The Nvidia RTX 5070 enters the market as the next step in Nvidia’s midrange 5000 series, following the RTX 4070 Super and sitting below the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080. Nvidia claims substantial improvements over previous generations, particularly through DLSS 4 and enhanced GenAI performance. However, upon deeper testing, the RTX 5070 offers little reason to upgrade unless you specifically want DLSS 4. Lets take a deeper look and run it through our testing bed.

The Guru of 3D: GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition review
We review and benchmark the GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition. The fourth product in the GeForce RTX 5000 range is built using a 5 nm manufacturing process and runs at 2165 MHz but can boost to around 2510 MHz under load conditions. Priced at $549 and 649 EURO will NVIDIA offer you enough value for money? Let's find out.
HotHardware: GeForce RTX 5070 FE Review: NVIDIA’s More Affordable Blackwell Tested
The final member of the initial GeForce RTX 50 series launches today, the GeForce RTX 5070, and we've got the full scoop.

TechPowerUp: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition Review
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5070 comes at highly competitive pricing of $550 yet offers performance that rivals the much more expensive RTX 4070 Ti. In our review we found out that overclocking works extremely well on these cards and you'll be able to push it to the next tier with just some quick OC.
LanOC Reviews: Asus Prime RTX 5070
In addition to the Nvidia RTX 5070 Founders Edition, I also received a second MSRP-priced RTX 5070. The second card was from Asus, their Prime RTX 5070. Like with the RTX 5070 Ti, at launch Asus has three different card designs in their lineup for the RTX 5070. They have the Prime RTX 5070, the TUF Gaming RTX 5070, and the Strix RTX 5070 with all three having stock clocked and overclocked models. Our Prime RTX 5070 is the stock-clocked model. We already saw how the RTX 5070 can perform but I’m excited to get a direct comparison on how a larger aftermarket cooler changes performance and compares to the Founders Edition. Well, no point in wasting any time, let’s get into it!
LanOC Reviews: Nvidia RTX 5070 Founders Edition
When Nvidia originally announced their new 50 Series of video cards, the RTX 5090 was their flagship but they did also announce three other GPUs as well. We have seen all of those except one and today the embargo lists on that last card, the RTX 5070. The RTX 5070 helps bring the 50 Series specific features like DLSS 4 a little farther down into the product stack. The 5070 is targeted at RTX 3070 owners which is still in the top 5 on Steam's hardware survey and is increasing now with 4.27% of Steam users using it. Because the RTX 5070 Ti didn’t have a Founders Edition, this is also the first 50 Series Founders Edition model with a much more compact size, and with that, I’m curious if it might be a great LAN right option. So let’s dive in and see what it is all about then put it to the test.
