Nvidia’s RTX 5070 breaks the $500 barrier — MSI RTX 5070 Shadow 2X OC available for $499 on Amazon

The Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, particularly the MSI RTX 5070 Shadow 2X OC model, is now available for $499 on Amazon, breaking the $500 barrier. This mid-range graphics card is designed for solid gaming performance at 1440p, with support for technologies like DLSS 4 and improved ray tracing. The GPU features 6,144 CUDA cores, 12GB of GDDR7 memory, and a boost clock speed of up to 2,557 MHz. While it excels at 1440p gaming, it struggles with ray tracing and may require DLSS for smooth frame rates at 4K. The deal is considered a good value for gamers looking to upgrade or build a new gaming PC.
