This looked like a miracle: the new GEFORCE RTX 5070 budget card from NVIDIA, at a price of $ 550, would occur even better than RTX 4090 of $ 1,600 of the latest generation. It turns out that it was (especially) bullshit, but the RTX 5070 is already sold despite everything, despite the major price increases.
NVIDIA’s criticisms from GeForce RTX 5070 were launched this week and all harassed Huang’s complaint. “To call (the two cards), it’s an absolute absolute lie,” said the technological chain Nexus players said in his video After having compared the performance with the 4090. “He is a 4090 killer … and I am a liar”, was the Title of criticism of Linus Tech TIPS. Ars Technica wrote that it was “difficult to classify the RTX 5070 as something other than a disappointment”.
The site tests showed performance for the 5070 just slightly higher than those of the 4070 Super from last year, despite a significant increase in energy consumption. The only way in which Nvidia’s performance parity claim with 4090 even begins to have meaning is to use the new multi-trame generation technology of the company. It considerably stimulates the Frommeration by interpping three images for each frame really rendered. The result did Cyberpunk 2077 And other games feel slow and subject to many visual artefacts while moving.
But the promises of these breaks are only part of history. Apart from this context, the 5070 could be a gradual improvement in the models from last year at a similar price. But the graphics card market at the moment is so chaotic and underestimated that no one expects to be able to obtain the new budget cards at the Official PDSF of $ 550. As Mag PC notesLa launch stock of the day was almost immediately sold, if it was really available to start.
The 5070 cards that people could really find for sale cost $ 650 or more, and things will only get worse until the new stock emerges. In the meantime, there are scalper lists in the $ 1,000. A radius of hope is the new Radeon RX 9070 line from AMD, which obtained Reviews rave so far. It also sells over the PDSF from $ 550 to $ 600 at the moment, but seems to be less rare overall. There is no saying how wide the larger market of graphics cards will get rid of the trade in wars and the ongoing arms race on AI, but decent competition for Nvidia cannot hurt.
