What Buyers Say
ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 PRIME 12GB GDDR7
85 out of 100 high confidence 58 reviews
The ASUS Prime RTX 5070 is widely praised for its excellent cooling, quiet operation, and strong 1440p gaming performance, especially when paired with DLSS and frame generation. Users upgrading from older cards like the GTX 1080 Ti or RTX 2080 report significant gains, though some note that the 12GB VRAM can be a limiting factor for future titles. A few reviewers mention driver glitches and a desire for more VRAM, but overall sentiment is very positive, with many calling it a great value at MSRP.
