If you’ve been Looking for a new GPU, you already know, cannot guarantee to get one for its recommended retail price. High demand, low supply and changing economic space have resulted in the new 50 Series graphics cards that are well above expectations, at least at launch.
Thankfully, this seems a bit stable, as the overclocking example of PNY’s Geforce RTX 5070 TI retails for $750. Even better, your purchase includes an upcoming copy Border 4, If you plan to pick it up, there is a chance that you can save $70.
I spent some time on the Asus Prime version of the RTX 5070 TI and was impressed with the performance in multiple resolutions. In almost every game I tested, it managed to keep pace with over 120 frames in 1080p, which is a great choice for gamers who are still at lower resolution and want to remove screen refreshes to the greatest extent. It also beat 90 fps at 2,560 x 1,440 in all test games, which is good news for new system builders at higher resolutions. This version is overclocked by PNY, which should give you more percentage points of these numbers.

As part of the latest generation of NVIDIA GEFORCE GPUs, you also have access to DLSS 4 and Landmark capabilities, i.e., multi-frame generation. The RTX 5070 TI can leverage machine learning to generate up to three additional frames between each traditionally rendered frame, shooting the frame rate into the stratosphere in exchange for some quality. While I won’t rely on it in every game, I’ve taken a deep look in the comments on the RTX 5090 Founder Edition (7/10, Wired Recommendation), which shows some of its impact on image quality and frame rate.
If $750 sounds like a lot of money, make sure to check out my full GPU buying guide that offers a different option compared to the latest generation of NVIDIA and AMD cards. Once you’ve exceeded these under $400 budget cards, I think the RTX 5070 TI offers the best performance and price balance as an upgraded draft pick. Very rarely seen retail cards listed on these cards, as well as copies included Border 4 Assuming you’ll play anyway, this really makes the deal sweet, so if you’re thinking about upgrading, I won’t sleep.
