(Image credit: PNY / Future) Amidst the current DRAM and NAND shortage, one PC component has seemingly become cheaper than ever, at least for now. Graphics cards, historically the primary victim of shortages and scalpers, are now increasingly selling at MSRP, and sometimes even below that! We've sourced one such deal for you: PNY's overclocked RTX 5070 is on sale for just $489 on Walmart right now , a whole $60 less than even its suggested pricing. This is the cheapest RTX 5070 we've ever seen, so hurry before it sells out!

However, at this price, the RTX 5070 feels like a no-brainer given Nvidia's arguably superior software stack that powers convenient features like RTX HDR — options that AMD simply can't match yet.
It sits right in the middle of our GPU heirarchy charts across all resolutions and with ray tracing. The card offers excellent 1440p performance, with consistent 60 FPS numbers at maxed out settings, with respectable 4K chops, especially if you're willing to be lenient with (multi) frame-gen.
Specs-wise, you're looking at the GB205 GPU containing 6,144 CUDA cores clocked at up to 2.58 GHz (boost), fabricated on TSMC's 5nm process. The RTX 5070 has 12GB of GDDR7 memory saturated across a 192-bit wide bus. The PNY model in question has a bog-standard stealthy design, with a triple-fan setup but no RGB. You get 3x DP 2.1b ports and 1x HDMI 2.1b for screen connectivity, and the card is rated at 250W, which it gets through the single 16-pin 12VHPWR connector.
The RTX 5070 originally launched with an MSRP of $549 — with AIB variants selling for much more — so a discounted price of only $489 on Walmart right now for this OC edition is a great deal, especially when you consider how chaotic the rest of the PC parts landscape is at the moment. Secure a solid GPU before these cards get hit in the aftermarket of the AI boom as well.
