Nvidia recently announced the GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card, priced at $550. CEO Jensen Huang claimed it would outperform the RTX 4090, which costs $1,600. However, this bold statement didn’t hold up. Still, the RTX 5070 is flying off the shelves, despite rising prices.
This week, reviews came out, and they challenged Huang’s claims. A well-known tech channel pointed out the truth: “To compare these cards is a flat-out lie.” Others echoed this sentiment, with one title stating, “This is a 4090 Killer… and I’m a Liar.”
Most reviews noted that the 5070’s performance is just slightly better than the RTX 4070 Super. The RTX 5070’s only real advantage comes from Nvidia’s DLSS Multi-Frame Generation tech, which attempts to improve frame rates but can lead to sluggishness and visual glitches in games.
While the 5070 isn’t what was promised, it could still be a decent upgrade at the $550 price point. The graphics card market is currently chaotic with shortages, meaning people may not find the 5070 at its official price. Many are seeing prices closer to $650 or more, with scalpers taking advantage of the situation.
A glimmer of hope comes from AMD’s new Radeon RX 9070 line, which has received positive reviews. Although it’s also selling for above MSRP, it seems to be more accessible overall. The future of the graphics card market remains uncertain, but having more competition is a good sign.
