Nvidia\u2019s 50 Series<\/span> releases are chugging right along, even though things haven\u2019t exactly been smooth. The top end of the series has shown impressive 4K performance, but finding one in stock for close to MSRP requires active effort or plenty of patience.<\/p>\n

At just $549, the RTX 5070 is currently the least expensive graphics card in the 50 Series to be officially announced. It can handle 1080p gaming just fine, but it struggles to keep up at 1440p, and especially with high-refresh-rate monitors becoming more common. It’s a nice size, but I\u2019d recommend saving up for the more expensive GPUs, or looking at previous generations.<\/p>\n

Compact Shape<\/h2>\n

This new card is noticeably smaller than the RTX 5080 FE (8\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>) and RTX 5090 FE (7\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>), rising just barely above the top of the PCIe plate, with a true two-slot width and a length that\u2019s a full 62 millimeters (2.4 inches) shorter. It\u2019s also smaller than the Asus Prime RTX 5070 Ti (8\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>), which uses a more traditional cooler setup. While the larger cards would fit in most builds, the RTX 5070 should have no issues finding its way into even the most compact cases.<\/p>\n
