RTX 5070 and RX 9070 XT Drop: Best Mid-Range GPU Deals Now

Are these new mid‑range GPU deals worth it?

This deal round-up covers recent price drops on NVIDIA RTX 5070 and AMD RX 9070/9060 XT graphics cards and explains whether these discounted mid-range GPUs now offer good value for high-refresh 1440p and entry-level 4K gaming, compared with their usual street prices and launch MSRPs.

In a market where GPUs often sit 20–30% above normal pricing due to DRAM shortages, these cuts are significant. The PNY GeForce RTX 5070 OC Triple Fan is down to USD 579 (approx. RM2,670) on Amazon, while similar RTX 5070 models were anchored around USD 670 (approx. RM3,090) in recent months. On the AMD side, Asus RX 9070 XT and RX 9060 XT cards are now discounted, with selected Prime-only offers pushing prices below typical averages. Overall verdict: if you are shopping for a 1440p graphics card or a budget 4K gaming GPU discount, these deals are worth serious consideration, especially if you have been holding off due to inflated prices.

“The Asus Prime AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 OC Edition is now at USD 715 (approx. RM3,300) for Prime members, which is USD 85 (approx. RM390) below MSRP.”

RTX 5070 price drop: best value 1440p Nvidia option

NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 remains a go-to 1440p graphics card, and the latest RTX 5070 price drop finally nudges it closer to its USD 549 (approx. RM2,530) launch MSRP. The PNY GeForce RTX 5070 OC Triple Fan is listed at USD 579 (approx. RM2,670) on Amazon, down from a usual USD 629 (approx. RM2,900) and previously as high as USD 659 (approx. RM3,040); it is now at its lowest level in the last three months. For a market where the RTX 5070 has often sold between USD 650 and USD 700 (approx. RM3,000–RM3,230), this is a meaningful discount.

Specs are strong for a mid-range card: 12GB of GDDR7 memory, a 192-bit bus, PCIe 5.0 support, and HDMI/DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, all built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture with DLSS 4.5 frame generation support. A separate PNY RTX 5070 Slim Dual-Fan OC variant has also dipped to USD 630 (approx. RM2,900), with a 2,587MHz boost clock and a slim dual-slot design friendly to small-form-factor builds. According to one price-tracking source, “that’s the lowest price so far” for this specific slim OC model. For high-refresh 1440p and occasional lighter 4K, this is currently the most compelling Nvidia-branded budget gaming GPU deal.

RX 9070 XT deal: discounted 4K-capable alternative to Nvidia

If you want a 4K gaming GPU discount without paying flagship money, the Asus RX 9070 XT deals are the ones to beat. The Asus Prime RX 9070 XT White OC Edition sits at USD 757.78 (approx. RM3,490), about USD 40 (approx. RM185) below its average Amazon price of USD 797.67 (approx. RM3,680) and back to its lowest level since February. This 4K-capable graphics card performs at roughly RTX 4080 levels and compares well against a more expensive RTX 5070 Ti, making it an appealing value option in the upper mid-range.

The White OC Edition offers 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, PCIe 5.0, HDMI/DP 2.1, a 2.5-slot cooling design with axial-tech fans, dual BIOS, and a 3‑year warranty. It also carries OC and game clocks up to 3,030MHz and 2,480MHz, respectively. For Prime members who do not care about the white aesthetic, the non‑white Asus Prime RX 9070 XT OC Edition drops to USD 715 (approx. RM3,300), which is USD 85 (approx. RM390) under MSRP and well below its typical USD 751 (approx. RM3,470) average. Its rasterization performance can “easily support 4K with smooth frame rates,” and FSR 4 upscaling further improves performance-per-dollar for those leaning toward Team Red.

ASUS RX 9060 XT: best budget gaming GPU for 1440p

For buyers with a tighter budget, the ASUS RX 9060 XT White Edition stands out as a budget gaming GPU that still handles demanding 1440p. Prime members can pick it up for USD 454.99 (approx. RM2,090), its best price in nearly three months. This card offers a compelling mix of cost and capability: it is described as one of the best graphics cards you can buy on a budget and is a solid 1440p gaming graphics card that can also push 4K in some titles when settings and AMD FSR 4 are tuned appropriately.

On paper, the RX 9060 XT brings 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, HDMI 2.1b and DisplayPort 2.1a outputs, PCIe 5.0 connectivity, and AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture. The dual-fan cooler and 2.5-slot design fit smaller cases, though the white color scheme will not suit every build. In practice, it can run heavy 1440p titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 or F1 24, while FSR 4’s frame generation helps offset its weaker native 4K performance. If your priority is smooth 1440p with some 4K experimentation and you want to spend well under the cost of an RTX 5070 or RX 9070 XT, this is the sweet spot.

Buy if / Skip if

• Buy the RTX 5070 if you want a true 1440p graphics card with DLSS 4.5 and the best Nvidia ecosystem features at a rare sub-USD 600 (approx. RM2,760) street price.
• Skip the RTX 5070 if you mainly target 4K and care more about raw raster performance-per-dollar than Nvidia-exclusive technologies, since RX 9070 XT offers better 4K value.
• Buy the RX 9070 XT if you want smooth 4K frame rates and a 4K gaming GPU discount that undercuts many Nvidia rivals while delivering RTX 4080-class performance.
• Skip the RX 9070 XT if your budget is limited to mid-USD 400s (approx. RM1,900–RM2,200) and you are happy with high-refresh 1440p rather than long-term 4K.
• Buy the RX 9060 XT if you need a budget gaming GPU with 16GB VRAM for strong 1440p performance, occasional 4K, and a lower entry cost.
• Skip the RX 9060 XT if you dislike white components or want the best native 4K performance, where RX 9070 XT and higher-tier cards make more sense.
