Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Drops to New Low of $399: Real Deals
Mid-range graphics with ray tracing for under $400
There are new 4000-series GPUs arriving on the market soon, and whether it's to make them seem more attractive or shift some old stock the price of this Nvidia RTX 3070 has dropped to a more wallet-friendly level, although I would love to see them cheaper still.
Amazon has the Asus Dual Nvidia RTX 3070 V2 OC 8GB on sale for $399 — that's the cheapest we've seen this particular graphics card. The RTX 3070 is a great mid-range card with solid performance (see our review of the RTX 3070) but it is limited by its 8GBs of VRAM, which does seem to be becoming more and more of an issue with some of the latest games not being optimized enough to not max-out the VRAM capacity of some GPUs.
Increase your pixel density with this 4K gaming monitor from Acer. The Acer Predator XB283K is a 28-inch UHD monitor that's now down to $499 on Amazon, making it a far more financially accessible 4K monitor for gamers looking to adopt a higher resolution screen. Just make sure you have a powerful enough graphics card to be able to make the most of it. The Acer Predator XB283K features an IPS panel that has a 1ms response time and a fast refresh rate of 144Hz.
If you've been looking at getting a new gaming laptop that features the latest and greatest CPUs and GPUs then this might be a deal for you. Lenovo's Legion 5i Gen 8 is available for $1,515 thanks to a sales discount and extra eCoupon code (EXTRA5) that nets a further $79 off of the original price. This model of the Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 8 features an Intel Core i7-13700HX and Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU.
