(Image credit: Future / MSI) Despite the industry navigating an alarming component shortage due to the AI boom, it's the GPUs that seem least affected. So, it's the perfect time to upgrade before they get swept up in the chaos next year. We've found the deal for you this Black Friday. You can get MSI's RTX 5070 Shadow 12 GB for just $479.99 on Newegg right now, with a $20 cashback. That's an $83 discount, increased to $103 after applying the rebate.
The RTX 5070 demands no introduction; it's Nvidia's premier midrange offering this generation, aimed at 1440p gaming. Built on the GB205 GPU and fabricated using TSMC's 5nm process, the RTX 5070 features 6,144 CUDA Cores that can boost up to 2,542 MHz on this particular variant. You get 12 GB of GDDR7 memory, which is plenty for even the most demanding games today, and enough connectivity to power setups on r/battlestations, with 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DP 2.1b ports.
Built for 1440p gaming with a taste of 4K thanks to DLSS upscaling, the RTX 5070 has 12GB of VRAM that'll keep you satiated for years to come. If you've been looking to upgrade your rig to a modern GPU, the RTX 5070 is finally selling under MSRP.
MSI's Shadow RTX 5070 has a dual-fan design with stealthy aesthetics, but that doesn't mean it's not premium. It still features a reinforced metal structure, with a solid backplate sitting over a dense heatsink with a nickel-plated base copper plate. Since this is only a 250W GPU, the two fans are enough to keep it cool, even in a small chassis, which makes it part of Nvidia's SFF-Ready Enthusiast GeForce Cards.

We gave AMD's RX 9070 XT the top spot in our best gaming GPUs roundup, but at this price, the RTX 5070 also becomes a no-brainer, especially when you take into account the Green Team's superior software suite, which includes things like RTX HDR. So, don't wait and grab the MSI Shadow RTX 5070 for just $479.99 before it sells out!
