We've searched high and low for the best prices and deals on GPUs right now.
The graphics card is an essential component and when a new, demanding game comes out it can almost become an essential upgrade. But with so many options around why not let us help find you the best graphics card deals right now?
It’s the part of your rig responsible for pumping out pixels and if you’re not getting the smooth frame rates you deserve in Dark Souls III or Hitman, then it’s time to look for a new GPU. New GPUs from AMD and Nvidia are now available, which that means older stock is getting cleared out.
Our guide to the best graphics card will tell you all you need to know about which video card is best for your needs but if you're after the absolute best graphics card deals around right now we’ve got you covered with our regularly updated deals page.
Looking for the best graphics card deals in the UK? Come this way...
Some highlights this week: Both AMD and Nvidia are busy launching new cards: the RX 480, GTX 1070, and GTX 1080 are now all technically available, though pricing and supply are still problematic. The new hardware has pushed prices on existing hardware down, making for some potentially good deals, and performance on older cards isn't suddenly worse just because something newer and faster exists. Let's go through the list and see if we can find any of the new cards in stock, as well as find out how low prices are getting on previous generation hardware.
We're going to break things into Nvidia and AMD cards, sorted in order of decreasing performance within each. Here's the full rundown on currently available cards.
Nvidia graphics card deals
GeForce GTX 1080 | 8GB GDDR5X | $610
Rejoice! It looks like there are finally some reasonably priced GTX 1080s in stock. Amazon has a handful of $610 cards left, Newegg has some new inventory on a $640 model, but the rest are price gouging models not worth your money. Keep checking Amazon / Newegg for new inventory around the same price, too.
GeForce GTX 1070 | 8GB GDDR5 | $400
You want a GTX 1070? Sure you do, and so does everyone else. It's the best graphics card overall, in our view, delivering awesome performance at a price that doesn't quite break the bank...or at least, it wouldn't if supply were better. While the baseline official MSRP is $380, the best price we can find right now is $400 at Newegg.
GeForce GTX 1060 | 6GB GDDR5 | $250 Here's the cheapest option from Nvidia's latest range of cards, and it'll be battling it out against AMD's RX 480. The 6GB version is $270 on Newegg, and you can also find the excellent value3GB version for $199.
GeForce GTX 980 Ti | 6GB GDDR5 | $430
Oh, how the mighty have fallen! A few months ago the GTX 980 Ti was going for close to $600, and now it's down to $430 at Newegg. Considering it's only slightly slower than a GTX 1070, plus some good overclocking potential, it's still worth a look once the price goes down again. Don't forget that it uses 250W compared to the 150W on the 1070, though!
GeForce GTX 980 | 4GB GDDR5 | $440
Inventory for the old GTX 980 is likely going to dry up in the near future, so if you're thinking about picking up a second card for SLI, now might be a good time to act. Or just sell your current card and try to pick up a 1070. Newegg had a couple for under $300 last week, but they're all gone now, and prices seem to be going back up for some reason. Still, not bad for what used to be a $550 GPU.
GeForce GTX 970 | 4GB(ish) GDDR5 | $240
The GTX 970 was recently our favorite overall graphics card, and it remains a good card that's readily available. There was one for $200 last week, but sadly it looks like they're back up at $240 now. We'd like to see prices closer to $200 (RX 480 territory) before we looked to buy a card that's being phased out.
GeForce GTX 960 | 2GB GDDR5 | $140
Like many other last-gen cards, the GTX 960 is way lower than it used to be, going for $160 at Newegg. The 4GB version is up above $300 at the moment, so at this point you should probably just shoot for an RX 480.
GeForce GTX 950 | 2GB GDDR5 | $110AR
Rounding out our list of Nvidia cards, the GTX 950 has several models going for$110 to $140 after rebate. Considering some models use less than 75W and don't need a 6-pin adapter, they're a great upgrade for budget PCs. If you want to overclock, though, get a card with a 6-pin connector.
AMD graphics card deals
Radeon R9 Fury X | 4GB HBM | $360
Honestly, with the cost of HBM and the liquid cooling, we're surprised to see a Fury X going for less than $500, let alone $400. Most cards are still priced well above $500, so if you want a Fury X, this is currently as good as it gets. Not as good as a 1070, but at least it's in stock.
Radeon R9 Fury | 4GB HBM | $310
The R9 Fury is sitting at $460 at the moment after rebate, which is way cheaper than it's been recently. Most other cards are still hanging out above $550, so if the Fury X sells out this is still a good alternative, though we'd stick to the 1070 at these prices.
Radeon R9 Nano | 4GB HBM | $490
We've talked about the cost of HBM and it's silicon interposer, and how it could easily push the manufacturing cost of AMD's Fiji into the $400+ range. Right now, they're even higher than that. Anything less and they're probably losing money (or at least not making any). If you want a compact card that's still fast, though, the Nano may be worth a look. Keep an eye on Newegg, because they had one for $460 that's now out of stock.
Radeon RX 480 | 8GB GDDR5 | $260
Looking for AMD's new hotness, the RX 480? Yeah, so are we. There are some around which are worth the price, but there are still a lot of price gouging models out there. The best right now is around $260 for the 8GB version, and $230 for the 4GB version.
Radeon RX 470 | 4GB GDDR5 | $199
For the same price as a 3GB GTX 1060 you can get AMD's 4GB Radeon RX 470 right now at Newegg. Alternatively you can opt for an 8GB version, which is uparound $240.
Radeon R9 390X| 8GB GDDR5 | $260AR
The R9 390X trades blows with the GTX 980, albeit at much higher power requirements. It's also faster than the RX 480 in virtually all games, so if you've got a soft spot for Hawaii, $260 is the lowest price we can find right now, back up from $250 a couple of weeks ago.
Radeon R9 390| 8GB GDDR5 | $280
You'll get a 10 percent drop in performance versus the 390X, but it is cheaper. Power draw is a lot higher than the new RX 480, but performance is also better in our testing. But you should probably just wait for the RX 480 to become widely available, or for prices to get closer to $200.
Radeon R9 380X | 4GB GDDR5 | $200
R9 380X has always been in the difficult position of sitting between the higher performance R9 390 and the lower priced R9 380, and now the former has been displaced by the RX 480. There's not much point to getting a 380X now, even though the price is under $200.
Radeon R9 380 | 4GB GDDR5 | $184
It's getting a little old now, but a 4GB version of the R9 380 is still okay. You could opt for the 2GB version, which is around $160, but the prices of the two models are getting really close together now so it's usually worth going for the 4GB.
Radeon RX 460 | 4GB GDDR5 | $100AR
Radeon's new budget card is a mere $99.99 after rebate on Newegg at the moment. The specs won't blow your mind, but you won't find another new card this cheap if you just need something passable for a budget rig.
In our guide to the best graphics card we’ve detailed the four best GPUs in terms of the overall champion, the best high-end GPU, and the best value, and best budget gaming video card. We've listed those above already, and with the exception of the budget offering they're all new cards that regularly go out of stock. Here's the real-time pricing for each (assuming our pricing engine can find any in stock):
"The 1070 manages to match or exceed the GTX Titan X and GTX 980 Ti in every game at every setting we tested…and it does so at a much lower price point."
"If you want the fastest graphics card on the planet, it's a no-brainer: the GeForce GTX 1080 wins, hands down."
"The RX 480 brings formerly $300 levels of performance to the $200 price point, or if you prefer, $200 now gets you 40 percent more performance than it did two months ago."
"The R9 380 manages 1080p High quality at more than 60 fps in most games, and dropping to 1080p Medium will usually clear that hurdle for more demanding titles. It's also 30 percent faster than the GTX 950. Not bad for just $135."
