A good quality 5070 card, but 5070 itself, nah

The 12 gb vram is a scary limit. On my tv (4k 120hz), I could see it stuck on that limit, which is why I returned it. But I guess most people would use it with a 2k monitor. My main monitor is a 2k one, but 12 gb barely cuts it now. Lot of games with 2k ultra go above 10gb very easily, so I had to return this and get a 16gb card.
The card itself is quite nice! PNY is lesser known, but the card build was solid, it performed better than avg 5070s on 3dmark (it should! these are oc cards), and barely makes any noise compared to my cpu aio.

I recently upgraded to the PNY GeForce RTX 5070, and it’s been an excellent decision. The performance is outstanding — I play demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1440p with ray tracing and DLSS on, and the frame rates stay consistently high and smooth.
Thermals are well-managed — even under full load, the GPU rarely goes above 65°C, and the fans are surprisingly quiet. Build quality is solid, and installation was quick and easy in my ATX case.
I also use this card for video editing in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and the CUDA acceleration has made a noticeable difference in rendering speed.
✅ Highlights:
• Excellent 1440p and ray tracing performance
• Quiet and efficient cooling system
• Reliable build quality from PNY
• Great for both gaming and productivity tasks
If you’re looking for a high-performance GPU without going all the way to a 5080 or higher, this 5070 offers one of the best performance-to-price ratios right now. Highly recommended!

6700xt to 5070 big uplift In performance!

I recently upgraded to the PNY 5070 and I’m really impressed. Coming from a 6700XT, the uplift is huge—not just in raw performance but also in the overall experience. NVIDIA’s drivers are a lot smoother and more reliable compared to what I dealt with before with amd, which makes a big difference day-to-day. The card itself runs quiet and stays cool, even when gaming for long sessions. Overall, I’m really happy with the switch. If you can get it for $549 or lower then id recommend, anything more then $549 then no and wait.
One thing worth noting: make sure to check CPU benchmarks on "YouTube" to see if your processor might bottleneck the card.

Efficient, Quiet, and Surprisingly Capable

Coming from a power-hungry RTX 3080, the PNY 5070 OC feels like a breath of fresh air. Where the 3080 often pulled 350W+ during gaming (even \~275W when undervolted), the 5070 OC sips under 170W with an undervolt—an impressive achievement for a card that can comfortably handle 4K gaming.
Thermals & Acoustics
The 5070 OC runs cool and whisper-quiet, hovering around 65°C under load. This improved efficiency not only cuts down heat but also keeps fan noise low, making for a much more pleasant long-session gaming experience.
Performance & Upgrade Value
Don’t expect massive leaps in raw horsepower over the 3080—performance gains are modest. But the real value is in its efficiency and thermals. For gamers prioritizing a quieter setup, lower energy consumption, and still-solid 4K performance, the 5070 OC finds a great balance.
Pros
* Excellent power efficiency (sub-170W undervolted)
* Quiet operation, even at load
* Cool temps around 65°C
* Strong 4K gaming performance
Cons
* Modest uplift compared to RTX 3080
* Not ideal for those chasing big FPS gains
**Verdict:** If you’re upgrading from a 3080 purely for performance, the 5070 OC won’t blow you away. But if you value efficiency, silence, and cooler operation without losing 4K capability, it’s a worthy upgrade.

Solid 1440p card, overclocks great, MSRP pricing

Great card at 1440p, stays cool and quiet while not using a ton of power.
Has +10% on the Msi afterburner power slider and with a little core and vram push mine gained 12% more fps in games making it as fast as a stock 4070ti super or 6% slower than a stock 9070xt while costing $175 cheaper (32% less)
Great card, if your coming from anything older than a Rtx 3000 card this will be a great upgrade and being msrp is a huge plus.
Pic is of the pny 5070 on top and the Msi gaming trio 5070 on the bottom. The Msi is $107 more, it runs 3c cooler and doesn’t boost as high as the pny card

I recently got the PNY RTX 5070, and honestly, I’m really happy with it. For the price, the performance is excellent — it handles 1440p gaming smoothly and even pushes solid frame rates at 4K on some titles. Temps stay under control, and it’s quiet, even under load. Ray tracing performance is solid too, and DLSS 3 makes a big difference in newer games.
I was also surprised how power-efficient it is compared to older cards. Overall, it hits a great balance between performance and cost — definitely worth it if you’re looking for a GPU that can handle modern games without spending top-tier money.

This is the only RTX 5070 you can find in stock at the $549.99 MSRP. I bought this as an upgrade over my 3060 Ti. I'm getting an average of about 75% performance uplift at 1440p.
The card has good build quality, and runs quiet. The cooler isn't amazing, but is certainly enough for this level of GPU.

At MSRP this is a great card in the current market. It runs incredibly cool, no coil whine, and looks great. I tried to hold out for an 9070xt but just grabbed what I could. Performance is incredible coming from an RTX 3060 that began having microstutter issues, paired with my i5 14400f.
Again, at MSRP this is a solid card for the price. Nothing more to note about it.

This RTX 5070 handles everything I throw at it—AAA games, 3D rendering, video editing—you name it. Frame rates are buttery smooth, and temps stay under control thanks to the triple fan design. Installation was easy and performance is just amazing. Great value for the power you’re getting!

This is one of the few 5070s at MSRP, and it's definitely made all the right priorities. Super stable, consistently high performance, and relatively compact. I'd say my only complaint is pretty obvious coil whine and some weird noises whenever I move the UI at all, but that's such a complex issue that it can't be fully pinned on the GPU. Overall a great subtle pick from a recognizable brand

Moving from a 1080 to this has been the greatest idea ever made. I’ve never seen the temps get above 55 running everything 1440p 120hz ultra settings. I also love the lack of RGB because it’s next to where I sleep. The price is unbeatable in comparison with any other 5070 card brand. It runs like a champ and benched above average straight out of the box.

Great GPU – Looks and Runs Amazing
Bought the PNY RTX 5070 Triple Fan from Best Buy and it’s been awesome. It looks sleek in my case and the triple-fan design keeps it cool and quiet. It runs demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy on ultra settings without breaking a sweat. Great performance, great design—highly recommend!

I picked up the PNY RTX 5070 mostly for 1080p and some light 1440p gaming, and so far it's been great. Most games run super smooth on high or ultra settings, and the temps stay decent thanks to the triple-fan cooler (a bit loud under load, but not terrible).

I got this GPU as an upgrade from my 3060ti and i couldnt be more happy. Runs the games i want at 1440p at 100+ fps with minimal to non-existent screen tearing. Playing doom the dark ages feels amazing at ultra setting. The 12gb of VRAM can really be felt no matter what game you throw at it. The only problem I do see is that this is a MASSIVE graphics card, but we all know what we are getting into when buying a triple fan GPU.

I brought it to replace a rx 6600 in my low end pc. I eneded up needing to upgrade other parts and ended up with a really solid mid range PC. If you have a 4070 or higher tier card do not buy this card. I have a 4090 in my main system it wouldn't make sense buying a 5090 and it would make less sense buy a 5070 if you have a 4070. That being said it you have a 30 series or lower it's a solid upgrade at MSRP. I get over 120 fps on games like Monster Hunter Wilds and Path of exile 2. It's been a really impressive card. I'm sure you can solid performance out of it at 4K if you adjust the settings lower. I'd definitely recommend.

Great step up from a PNY 4060 Ti 16GB.
The PNY 5070 averages at a 2.9Ghz Core clock when gaming with a 192-bit memory bus (compared to the 4060 Ti's 128-bit), and offers smooth and hassle-free 1440p gaming.
Haven't had any issues with operation and it's worked exactly as expected.
For purchasing this item at close to MSRP, I couldn't be happier.
