Nvidia launched its RTX 5070 graphics card for $549 earlier this year, and the Founders Edition model is actually available at the official store (at the time of writing) thanks to some recent restocks. Third-party models tend to be more expensive, but right now, we’ve spotted a bunch of cards for less than MSRP – and one of them is even below $500 at Walmart.
It’s not a retailer that immediately springs to mind when you think PC hardware, but Walmart currently stocks the 5070 for a great price online. However, if you’re looking for some close alternatives, then we’ve spotted a few great deals on Newegg and Amazon, too, all cheaper than the original $549 price tag.

The card can also push 4K in some titles, especially with help from the latest DLSS 4 upscaling technology. Plus, as an RTX 50 series card, it also has exclusive access to Multi Frame Generation, Nvidia’s most up-to-date frame gen feature, which can AI-generate multiple frames, rather than just one. This helps massively boost your FPS in titles that support the tech.
