This PNY NVIDIA 5070 is an incredible value.. performance is flawless and the quality is outstanding. Couldn’t be happier with how smooth it runs. The in-store pickup experience at Best Buy was just as impressive. I simply showed the QR code, and the staff quickly handed me the item.. no waiting at all. Super fast and hassle-free. I love both the product and in store experience!!!

The RTX 5070 12Gb GDDR7 is a powerful hrsphics card easily capable of handling day to day tasks at low power then easily crank up to 200w when you’re ready to game. The power draw is pretty low for the performance you get out of it. Easy 1440p 60fps for newer AAA RTX games, some even 100+, and games that are a few years old now can run at 4K 60fps or 1440p 100+ all day long. Pretty impressed with the performance you get, and it was slightly cheaper than the RTX 4070 12Gb GDDR6X I purchased in 2023. The PNY model is sleek, plain black, no bright rainbow RGB, pretty small, and quiet with three fans. Multi-frame generation is cool but I haven’t tested it yet.

I upgraded from a 3060 to this 5070. I got pretty decent fps boost and i upgraded to a 1440p monitor from a 1080p. I get around 180 hz on this monitor, but i am usually around 180 fps at all times with max settings on certain games. If you play average games like call of duty and fortnite you can push max settings, but if you try max settings on something like cyberpunk it probably wont be pushing 180 fps. Other than that, its pretty great!

In a world where GPUs appreciate value faster than my TSMC porfolio, best buy remains a bastion of reasonable prices. The card works fine, shipping fast, and was cheaper than most used versions. As for the card itself, solid card other than 12gb may not be enough 5 years down the line. Not too loud either. Good value for buck

I have to say after hearing negative feedback from these 50 series cards, they’re still way better and cheaper than the 40 series. I replaced my 4070 ti super with this one. It’s not as bulky and it gives me more fps. Also, a new 4070 ti super cost just as much as the 5080 but I didn’t want to spend that much money. I’m still happy though.

I bought this for my first pc build and I couldn't be happier. it does amazing at 1440p and it can even play games at 4k. the only draw back is that it only has 12gb of video memory but for 1080p and 1440p gaming its not really a problem for the games that I play.

Runs cool and quiet. This is an excellent card for 1440P high refresh rate gaming and 4K gaming with reasonable expectations and DLSS. If you can get this card for $549, you'll be very, very happy for years to come.

PNY GeForce RTX 5070 12GB OC GDDR7 PCIe 5.0 Graphics Card Review
Reviewed by FixFast PC Repair – fixfastpcrepair.com
At FixFast PC Repair, we’ve had the opportunity to install and test the PNY GeForce RTX 5070 12GB OC GDDR7 graphics card in several custom builds. Overall, this GPU delivers an excellent mix of next-generation performance, stable thermals, and strong value for both gamers and professionals.
Performance
The RTX 5070 is powered by NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell architecture, offering improved ray tracing and AI-driven performance over previous generations. With 12GB of GDDR7 memory and PCIe Gen 5.0 bandwidth, it handles modern games at 1440p and even 4K in many titles with ease. The card also supports DLSS 4, which enhances frame rates without noticeable image loss, and NVIDIA Studio drivers for creative workloads.
Cooling and Build Quality
PNY’s triple-fan cooler design keeps this card running quietly and efficiently. During stress tests and gaming benchmarks, we observed temperatures staying in the mid-60s Celsius, even under heavy load. The metal backplate adds rigidity, while the overall build quality feels solid and durable.
Installation and Compatibility
This card uses the newer 12VHPWR power connector, so make sure your power supply includes the appropriate cable or adapter. At about 299mm long, it’s a large card, so verify clearance in smaller cases before installation. Setup and driver installation were straightforward, and the card ran smoothly across multiple systems we tested.
Considerations
While 12GB of VRAM is sufficient for most current games and workloads, users planning heavy 4K rendering or AI applications may find themselves limited over time. Some reports mention minor coil whine or fan noise on certain units, but this has not been an issue in our own installations.
Verdict
The PNY GeForce RTX 5070 12GB OC offers exceptional 1440p gaming performance, impressive cooling, and modern features like DLSS 4 and PCIe Gen 5.0 support. It’s an ideal upgrade for users coming from RTX 30-series cards or older GPUs who want cutting-edge performance without the extreme cost of flagship models.

Puts about 2X more frames than my OCed RX5700 while running Berserker Kahzan at 1440p native. DLSS boosts that like crazy with barely any lag. Card feels high-ish quality. No tests overclocking yet since there is no need benchmarks are just above average. Very happy with purchase even though these GPUS are overpriced.

Love my 5070 almost as much as I loved paying MSRP and picking it up in-store because it was in-stock. This is my first GPU purchase in years that didn't feel like a total scam.
As far as the card itself, it performs as needed and then some. My rig is setup for 1440p and I'm seeing framerates I haven't seen since being on 1080 years ago.
This card in particular gets some major backlash for it's price, positioning, and advertisement claims. But truth be told, it was the sweet spot for my budget and at this price, none of the competition comes close.

Great price for the product, upgraded from 2070 and it was night and day difference with the performance. 40-50° C cooler when running under load, and not being completely maxed out when comparing from the usual games I ran on the previous card. No RGB though so that's why it's 4 star (could care less but had to be something lol).

If you can get these at MSRP like this one is, this is the way to go. It was a massive upgrade from my 3080, and running at a fraction of the power requirements.
For what I am using it for, this card is plenty capable at 1440p gaming. The framegen upscaling definitely takes this a step further in the visual department as well.

Huge upgrade from a Radeon 5700XT. Playing everything at max settings with ray tracing is great. This PNY 5070 has great overclocking potential and I've never seen it yet over 75C. It's the only mid-range card available at MSRP

Good card for MSRP, should have 16G of VRAM. Sadly NVIDIA cheaped out. No complaints with build quality or anything. However, runs a little warm.

Does what I need it to do, plays all games in 1440p high to ultra at 80+ fps with no dips. The 12gb of vram will last a long time and with DLSS 4 I don't see this card becoming irrelevant anytime soon. But, I would have gone with a rx 9070xt only for the extra 4gb of vram and rausterization power that it provides but since this card is the only 50 series card that is at msrp all the time it was basically a no brainer.
