It's a good time to buy a new graphics card — albeit maybe not a great time to buy an RTX 4090.
We're seeing a lot better value on AMD and Intel cards than on Nvidia-powered offerings, but you can still find some savings on RTX cards. We're highlighting all of the best graphics card deals below. Also, check out our list of best graphics cards and our GPU benchmark hierarchy to see evergreen performance data regardless of sales.

Nvidia's graphics cards — both the new RTX 4090/4080 and the previous generation RTX 30-series — often tend to be overpriced. We've axed the 30-series, as those cards have been displaced by the newer, better, and often cheaper 40-series parts. The RTX 4070 for instance trades blows with the RTX 3080 10GB, costs at least $100 less, and uses 30% less power; it also supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation and some other new features. Similar arguments can be made for the RTX 4060 Ti against the RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 4070 Ti against the RTX 3090, or the RTX 4080 and 4090 against any previous generation part.
Best AMD Graphics Card Prices
AMD often offers more value for your money, and it has some excellent deals in the budget to upper-midrange bracket. AMD's GPUs are all selling below their original MSRPs these days, which they should be considering some of the GPUs have been out for a while now. Of course, some of those MSRPs were inflated thanks to the price rises from the GPU shortages of the past.
Most of the best-ever prices have sold out, but the RX 7600 XT is now at an all-time low of $279. We weren't blown away by the card at launch, but a $50 discount helps, and the 16GB of VRAM at least ensures you won't run out of graphics memory for most workloads.
Best Intel Graphics Card Prices
Intel's Arc GPUs have a few good sales, mostly with the Arc A770 16GB. likely to make way for the incoming Arc B580 that's rumored to arrive in a couple of weeks. The A770 8GB has long since disappeared from retail channels, which is just as well considering it wasn't much better than the more affordable A750.
Arc GPUs generally do fine these days, thanks to a lot of driver improvements since launch. Both the A750 and A770 16GB generally beat Nvidia's RTX 3060, with the A770 effectively matching AMD's RX 6650 XT. Considering it has twice as much VRAM, we prefer it over AMD's budget card at the current prices.

What to Look for in a Graphics Card Deal
When shopping for a graphics card, consider the following.
🔎 What resolution, settings do you want to play at? A low-end budget graphics card can play games at 1080p in medium settings, but if you want to play at ultra settings, you'll need to get at least a mid-range card. As you move up the stack of cards, you can play at 2K resolution and higher settings or, with the priciest cards, 4K.
🔎 How many fps do you consider smooth? Most people consider 30 fps the bare minimum for playability and 60 fps decent. However, if you want less lag for eSports gaming, you'll want to be able to go to over 100 fps at reasonable settings. See our GPU benchmark hierarchy to find out how each GPU fares.
🔎 Do you have enough power? Make sure that you have enough capacity from your power supply to support the card. If you're not sure, use a tool such as Newegg's power supply calculator to see how much you need. If your power supply can't handle the card, either get a new PSU or a different card.
🔎 Will it fit in your case? If you've got a small PC case, make sure you check the length of the card against the case's clearance numbers.
