The Verdict: Solid, but Not a Revolution?
All this testing led zWORMz Gaming to conclude that the RTX 5070 is absolutely capable of 1440p gaming, even performing well with all title-tested. However, they weren’t dazzled by a huge generational leap. According to the reviewer, the RTX 5070 comes off as an evolution of the existing RTX 4070 Super but for a more palpable price point. Imperiosamente on point with what the other tech reviewersae saying a good solid card, but maybe not the earth shattering upgrade you were looking for.
For games that demand smooth 1440p performance without bankrupting gamers, the RTX 5070 appears to be a prime candidate. Just don’t expect a night-and-day difference if you’re coming from a high-end card from the previous generation.
