The RTX 5070, in our review constitutes a good value mid-range GPU for 1440p gaming, with performance that put it a little ahead of the RTX 4070 Super - in Alan Wake 2 with RT enabled, the 5070 hit 36fps, while the 4070 Super managed 34fps. It's a similar margin in Cyberpunk 2077, while the 4070 Super actually pulled ahead in Avatar.
The key difference with the 5070 over its predecessor is not only its lower MSRP that helps it from a value standpoint, but there is the 'benefit' of DLSS 4 with its multi-frame-gen tech. Of course, there is some latency involved with this, but it can still spit out playable results in the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2 in our testing if you want to take advantage of higher refresh rate monitors and such.
There is a lot more info in our benchmarking and full review of the 5070 if you want even more numbers, but for now, this MSI RTX 5070 Gaming Trio OC deal is a great one, especially with that Steam wallet code in mind. If you want to grab it, I'd suggest you go quickly!
