Rank #1 in Best RTX 5070 Graphics Cards: 8 Ranked, £94.54 Apart on Identical Memory
ASUS Prime RTX 5070 OC Edition 12GB GDDR7
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5070 GDDR7 12GB OC Edition takes the top spot in this guide at £728.99. That price sits £30.00 above the cheapest of the eight cards and £64.54 below the most expensive — and all eight carry the same 12 GB of GDDR7, PCIe 5.0 and DLSS 4. What the extra money buys here is not memory but a bigger cooler and a taller clock: three Axial-tech fans on a 2.5-slot, SFF-ready body, with a boost of 2587 MHz in OC mode against 2557 MHz in default mode.
There is also a tidier spec sheet here than the guide's most expensive card manages. Both maximum-resolution fields read 7680 x 4320, the GPU clock speed row matches the 2587 MHz printed in the bullet list, and the memory clock is given separately at 28 GHz instead of being the core clock repeated. Two rows still need reading with care: the graphics coprocessor field says only 'NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5000', which is the family rather than the model, and one row is labelled 'Antenna Location' with the value 'Gaming' — a graphics card has no antenna. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“A really solid GPU that focuses on performance and simplicity. It handles modern games easily, especially at 1440p, and features like DLSS help boost frame rates nicely.The cooling is quiet and effective thanks to the triple-fan design, and it doesn't use much power compared to higher-end cards.I got the price on a slight discount, so the price was good on this 5070 compared to others was good.Despite having only 12GB, the RTX 5070's faster GDDR7 and newer architecture outperform older 16GB GPUs in most gaming, except at 4K or very heavy textures.”
Verified purchase“It's certainly one of the graphics cards of 2026.Runs most games on high in 4k. Replacing my ancient 980ti. So an upgrade. Good value.”

Questions people ask
How much does the ASUS Prime RTX 5070 OC cost?
£728.99 on the listing — £30.00 more than the cheapest of the eight RTX 5070 cards in this guide and £64.54 less than the most expensive.
Does the ASUS Prime RTX 5070 OC really have 12 GB of memory?
Yes. The listing gives 12000 MB of GDDR7, and the product name states 12GB — the same memory figure as the other seven cards here.
What clock speeds does the listing give?
2587 MHz in OC mode and 2557 MHz in default mode. The separate GPU clock speed row also reads 2587 MHz, so the two agree.
Is the ASUS Prime RTX 5070 OC suitable for a small-form-factor build?
ASUS describes it as an SFF-Ready card and lists three fans in a 2.5-slot design, so it is aimed at smaller cases as well as standard ones.
Why does the spec table say 'Antenna Location: Gaming'?
That row appears in the ASUS Prime RTX 5070 OC listing, although a graphics card has no antenna. The graphics coprocessor row is similarly loose, reading 'NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5000' rather than naming the 5070.
What does the 4.6 rating actually cover?
The listing shows 4.6 out of 5 from 677 ratings. Its breakdown totals 100 entries — 85 five-star, 7 four-star, 2 three-star, 2 two-star and 4 one-star — so that breakdown is a sample, not all 677.
