NVIDIA
GeForce RTX 5070
A strong 1440p card with the full current NVIDIA feature set, including the newest frame generation work. It is the cheapest way into that software stack without dropping to an 8 GB card.
- Best for
- 1440p at 144 Hz, and 1080p at very high refresh for competitive play.
- Watch out
- 12 GB of memory. That is enough now and it is the first thing that will bite in a few years at 1440p with high textures. The 16 GB AMD cards at a similar price are a real argument.
