If you’ve been eying up the RTX 5070, now might be the perfect time to bite the bullet. That’s because we’ve seen the mid-range Nvidia GPU drop below its $549 MSRP at popular online retailer Newegg. Yesterday, we spotted the Intel Arc B580, Intel’s best graphics card, dropping below MSRP, too, so it seems like a pretty good time to do some GPU shopping.

If you head over to Newegg, you’ll find the MSI Ventus RTX 5070 listed for only $499, which is $50 cheaper than its MSRP. Previously, this third-party model was priced at $559, but the new deal chops 10% off the total. On top of that, with a rebate card, you can save an extra $20 and take it home for just $479, which is an excellent price for the mid-range GPU. And no, this isn’t an open-box deal – it’s a brand-new card from MSI.

Two of the best deals we’ve found on GPUs recently

The RTX 5070 boasts 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM, so it has enough memory to run most modern games smoothly at 1440p. Aside from that, it can also utilize DLSS 4’s Multi Frame Generation, which can help it gain a significant performance boost in compatible games. Thanks to this, you can safely run many games smoothly at 4K. Sadly, we haven’t reviewed this exact card, but we have reviewed another MSI RTX 5070 – the MSI Gaming Trio, to be specific, if you want to see how well that performs.

If you have a lower budget or want to go with something from Intel instead, you can check out the deal on Intel Arc B580 Nitro OC at B&H, which has knocked $80 off its price. Thanks to this, you can snag it for $234.99 instead of $314.99. This card is designed for 1080p & 1440p gaming, boasting 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a boost clock speed of up to 2,740 MHz. Aside from that, it comes packed with 20 Xe Cores and 160 XMX AI engines.

In any case, both GPUs are currently available at incredible prices. Even though Black Friday isn’t here yet, these early deals are great for anyone looking to save some money on a new graphics card. We recommend acting fast, as deals like these don’t usually last long.
