The Nvidia RTX 5070 is bound to be popular with system builders with its $549 price point (assuming you can actually buy one at that price). But what if you're looking to upgrade a PC... what kind of performance can you expect? And is it worth it instead of buying a brand new PC instead?
But first... What am I drinking???
