We’re seeing the first tantalizing signs of green shoots appearing in the US graphics card market, with the prices of several cards dropping to their lowest levels for months. Most notably, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and AMD Radeon RX 9070 are now available to buy for half-sensible prices, rather than the outlandish sums they’ve been demanding until recently.
As we found in our GeForce RTX 5070 review, this mid-range Nvidia GPU doesn’t quite have enough VRAM to play some of the latest games at top settings, but it does have a decent amount of rendering power at its disposal, as well as support for the full Nvidia DLSS 4 suite, including multi frame gen. We preferred the AMD GPU in our Radeon RX 9070 review, as it comes with a full 16GB of memory, even if the 9070 XT is significantly quicker.
