This card went into my first pc. Tried 4k on my buddies monitor and it handled well at solid frame rates on ultra settings. I play on a 1080p 240hz monitor and it can handle any game at max settings and give 200fps and up no problem. Was lucky to get it on Best Buy online for msrp.

Very few companies are willing to sell these 50 series cards for msrp. PNY does and I’m grateful for them. The card is wonderful and very powerful. It overclocks very well too

I got the card and have been unable to use it because of black screen issues, but im just gonna wait for drivers to come out and fix it because i got it at msrp and and pretty happy with the purchase non the less. Hope Nvidia has a comeback

A 5070s a 5070, but this one has noticeable coil whine. Its an electrical buzzing under even light load, and its usually just a specifoc card luck thing(well the chances depend on the brand i suppose), and fyi it doesnt mean anything bad, its just annoying when u get it and notice it.

I placed an order for a graphics card and was promised delivery by [insert original delivery date, e.g. June 9th]. I sold my old GPU in anticipation and arranged my workflow accordingly. However, Best Buy failed to ship on time and tried to blame UPS, even though UPS tracking shows no scan or pickup activity at all.
This clearly indicates the item was never handed to UPS. Best Buy delayed shipment internally but blamed logistics. I contacted customer service and received vague and dismissive responses. Meanwhile, I’ve been stuck with a non-functional PC for days due to their broken promise and poor handling.
This experience has caused real inconvenience, and I expect better from a major retailer. I won’t be trusting their shipping estimates again.
Great Performance, Smooth Setup, Worth the Upgrade

I’ve been using this graphics card for a bit now and I’m genuinely impressed with the performance. Installation was quick and straightforward, and it worked perfectly right out of the box. I noticed an immediate improvement in speed and overall smoothness, especially during gaming and multitasking.
Graphics are crisp, frame rates are stable, and it handles demanding tasks without overheating or excessive noise. It feels well-built and reliable, which is exactly what you want for a long-term upgrade.
For the price and performance, this is a solid choice. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to boost their setup without headaches.

This model seems to be very sensitive to power delivery with the sense pins. Sometimes video is blank on startup and the PC needs to be powered off to fix.
It doesn't work with a power monitor on it. display port won't work in this config. HDMI sometimes works until you launch a game. Make sure your PSU is sized well. I ended up upgrading to a 1000 watt thinking the power sense connection was my old PSU. It wasn't.
The card has decent acoustics with the fans for a triple fan. When it's working, it has good performance with competitive numbers compared to other 5070 models. It's got a very simple look and minimalist. Looks good if you don't like flare or rgb nonsense.
This model does not have any water blocks available for it. If you are interested in water cooling, consider alternatives.
The card is physically very sturdy feeling.
For AI workloads, this does surprisingly well. It's able to handle some fairly large models despite it's memory configuration. I'm seeing 29-35 tokens per second with phi 4 model and 80+ with qwen 3.5.
It's doing well for gaming with ease getting to 240 fps in overwatch and i have it capped there. It also does OK in robocop with DLSS on.

If you're looking for a 5070 with good cooling and no RGB, this is it. Works very well, power adapter plug included seems to be good quality and the card runs/boosts very well and stays under 75c in my setup. Overall happy with my purchase and runs great at 1440p

I’m really enjoying this GPU. Upgrading from a 2080, the performance leap is instantly noticeable—no surprises there. The 5080 runs quiet and cool, even under load, which is a welcome change for my setup.
Games like Stalker 2 and Battlefield 6 look phenomenal and play buttery smooth at 1440p. Visual fidelity, frame pacing, and responsiveness are all top-tier. It’s clear this card was built for high-refresh gaming without compromise.
Considering the price and where I was coming from, this was a great buy. If you’re on a 20-series card and looking to step into next-gen performance without going overboard, the 5080 hits a sweet spot.

I'm coming from a "4070" gaming laptop to this and the difference is night and day at 1440p. So much smoother and nearly double the FPS. Low temps and stock fan curve is barely audible (to me).
Card overclocks very well and paired with a 1440p OLED monitor I couldn't be happier. Playing Resident Evil 4 and Hogwarts right now. In RE4 at 1440p ultra with RTX on and no upscaling im getting 140-150fps and in Hogwarts with DLSS Q, Nvidia reflex and 3x frame gen I had to cap my FPS at 240hz to align with my monitor.
5070 gets a lot of hate, but youtubers and people on reddit love to complain. Honestly at $549 this is a great card in today's market. So it can't run Indiana Jones at max settings. turn RTX down to "medium" and you have a locked 60fps. The VRAM thing is overblown in my opinion. Buy the card and enjoy!

PNY always does well with these things, and this time is no different. They’ve managed to provide me (and Best Buy is gracious enough to sell this at/near cost) with an MSRP 5070. It could have used some more VRAM (this would be a stellar card if it had 14gb+ instead of 12), but nvidia needs to protect the 16gb 5080, so I understand. Back to this GPU’s actual specs: this is a very well-manufactured card. The heatsink is absolutely beautiful (triple-fan 8x heat pipes?!), and I am convinced that the card might just run forever because of it. It comes with a factory overclock, which leads me to believe that they’re confident about the silicon quality. But that’s just what you get from PNY when they’re actually allowed to get their hands on chips and manufacture GPUs: high-quality hyper-robust builds at MSRP if you don’t want to pay for RG-BS. Just, make sure you have a GPU bracket if you’re running this vertically.

This has been a fantastic card, even after adjusting power limits and giving it a slight over clock. It stays cool and quiet extremely stable. The back plate is well constructed and looks great very high quality card, i would highly recommend at MSRP anything more i would look elsewhere.
