Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 GAMING OC 12G is the sixth of the eight cards in this guide, at £739.99. It carries the same 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus as every other card here, so the £41.00 gap down to the £698.99 card and the £53.54 gap up to the £793.53 card buy cooling and clock speed, not memory. What the money does not buy is a cleaner page: this one still lists a field labelled "Antenna Location" that reads "Gaming", and gives item dimensions of 10L x 15W centimetres for a card it describes as having three fans.

Where this listing is actually tidier than the most expensive one is the clock data. It gives 28,000 MHz for the memory clock and 2625 MHz for the core clock — two different numbers, which is what you would expect — while the £793.53 card repeats its 2325 MHz core clock in the memory field. The ratings block is the place where this page stops adding up: the breakdown shows 85 five-star, 7 four-star, 3 three-star, 1 two-star and 4 one-star, which comes to 100, against the 221 ratings stated for the same product. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing rather than from testing by us.
