Not really a deal. It's the card at MSRP. Hopefully this is a sign of more cards actually selling for MSRP and this post can be downvoted into oblivion.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm still struggling with understanding RTX and RGB though. Is RTX better? I did a quick web search (see below), but I'm still scratching my head.RTX vs RGB:RTX refers to a line of high-end Nvidia graphics cards that support ray tracing, a rendering technique that creates more realistic lighting and shadows. RGB, on the other hand, is a color model used for displaying colors on digital screens, where red, green, and blue light are combined to create a wide range of hues. While RTX cards are often marketed with RGB lighting, the two terms represent distinct technologies: RTX is a hardware platform for improved graphics processing, while RGB is a color model for displaying images.RTX vs RGB - Elaboration:RTX (Real-Time eXtras): RTX cards are equipped with specialized hardware, including RT cores and Tensor cores, that allow them to perform ray tracing and AI-powered features like DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling). These features enhance visual fidelity and performance, especially in games and applications that utilize them. RGB (Red, Green, Blue): RGB is an additive color model that uses red, green, and blue light to produce a wide range of colors on digital displays. It's commonly used in monitors, displays, and other devices that display images using light. While some RTX cards may incorporate RGB lighting for aesthetics, the RGB technology is separate from the core functionality of the RTX hardware. RTX vs RGB - In summary:RTX focuses on enhancing visual quality and performance through hardware-accelerated features, while RGB is a color model for displaying colors on digital screens. While RTX cards may incorporate RGB lighting, the two technologies are distinct.
Cards with RGB get more FPS, run cooler and whiten your teeth up to 4 shades whiter. It's a known fact.
TBH I think its reflective of the disappointment with this generation. You literally have to reach back to the 30s series to justify upgrading to a 5070. If you have anything better than an RTX 3070 even $550 is hard to justify. I would not pay over $450 for a 5070.

In today's GPU market this is decent performance bump for someone at mid range nvidia 3000 / AMD 6000 series level who needs an upgrade now. 9070 / 9070 XTs aren't looking like they are going back to launch MSRP anytime soon and anything better has a terrible markup.
I upgraded from a 6700XT (~3060 to 3060Ti performance) to an Asus 5070 (also at MSRP) and ran the Monster Hunter Wilds benchmark before/after.
I picked this up a week and a half ago. Upgraded from a 3060 ti. Doubled frame rates at 1080p. There are not a lot of reviews for this model, but I would say it is a good buy considering the current state of the GPU market. The 9070 is a better choice at MSRP, but good luck finding a 9070 at a decent price at the moment.

I had gotten an MSI version from US-MSI store for this price. Then they sent it where it required a signature. I wasn't home waiting on them all day so it got sent to a holding area. I gave up trying to find it so it got sent back to MSI. I had to file a BBB and get paypal involved to finally get my money back. I was getting worried

on an i9-10850k / 32gb system at Ultra settings
6700XT: 1080p = 66 fps, 4k = 34 fps
5070: 1080p = 85 fps, 4k = 60 fps
I subsequently got a 5700x3d to test as well and 1080p + 5070 went to 99 fps. 4k didn't change with between the 5700x3d and i9-10850k, both 60fps.
