A far cry from the ultimate expense of yesterday's deal on the Nvidia Flagship RTX 5090 GPU deal, where the best GPU for gaming was still $2400 even on a sale, today's focus is on a more mainstream offering that is multitudes more affordable. Checking over the price history for the latest 50-series graphics cards from Nvidia, I came across this GPU deal from Newegg that smashes through the MSRP ceiling to offer the very latest RTX graphics card at an all-time low price, but there is a little hoop-jumping to go through to get the full deal.

MSI's Ventus 2X OC GeForce RTX 5070 GPU is now available at Newegg for a record-low $529. To achieve this price, the graphics card first received a discount from its original $629 to $559, and then you need to apply for a rebate of $15 that brings the price to $544, and finally, add the code MSIVTS at the checkout for a further $15 discount; bringing the total to $529.99. Checking PCPartPicker, this is a new record-low price for MSI's RTX 5070 GPU, and is now actually priced under the mythical RTX 5070 MSRP figure.

The RTX 5070 is one of Nvidia's mid-range entries for PC graphics and a capable card for most gamers. Being a 50-series card also means it can access all the benefits of Nvidia's latest software developments, such as DLSS 4 and Reflex 2. The MSI Ventus 2X OC is an overclocked variant of the RTX 5070 and features a twin-fan design over a large heatsink for greater heat dissipation. The GPU uses 6144 CUDA cores, has 12GB of the latest GDDR7 VRAM running on a 192-bit memory bus, and can reach a boost clock speed of 2542 MHz. On compatible hardware, the GPU can also make use of the latest PCI Express 5.0 integration.
