Nvidia’s 50 Series Even if things are not completely smooth, they will be released gradually. The top of the series shows an impressive 4K performance, but finding a stock to get close to retailers requires active effort or a lot of patience.
At just $549, the RTX 5070 is currently the cheapest graphics card in the 50 series to be officially announced. It handles 1080p games well, but it strives to keep 1440p, especially as high-rate rate monitors are becoming more common. This is a nice size, but I recommend saving for a more expensive GPU or looking at previous generations.
Compact shape
This new card is significantly smaller than the RTX 5080 fe (8/10, recommended online) and RTX 5090 fe(7/10, wired recommendation), rising only above the top of the PCIE board, with a true two-slot width with a length of 62mm (2.4 inches) short. It’s also smaller than the Asus Prime RTX 5070 Ti (8/10, recommended online), use a more traditional cooler setup. While larger cards are suitable for most builds, the RTX 5070 should be fine, even for the most compact cases.

It’s a pity that these founder versions are not unlimited products, because I think this generation is very good. I’m a big fan of design, it has a low-key look and feels really high. I don’t like fans of design cards that don’t match other parts, and I think the Founder’s Card will look at home in almost any situation.
Like other 50-time series cards, the RTX 5070 FE uses a new 12V-2X6 connector and includes a braided nylon adapter for your existing PSU. You only need to provide this card’s 650 watt power supply, down from 5070 TI’s 750 watts, which will once again benefit the builders of small and budget systems.
Game performance
I’ve mined the multi-frame generation effect in other comments (especially the RTX 5090 FE), so for this comment I’m focusing on the performance of feature turn-off. If you’re trying to make sure your performance goes smoothly, the extra frames per second (FPS) it provides may be more worthwhile than other cards.
