With the advent of the internet, sites like Amazon and eBay afford people the convenience of shopping online, which can be even sweeter when there are deals and discounts. WithAmazon Prime Day now underway, there are a ton of tech products that are going for reduced prices. One category includes graphics cards, and it looks as though a bunch of AMD andNvidiahardware is currently going for pretty much their recommended retail prices.
A quick look on Amazon’s website does indeed show that GPUs are going for cheaper over the next day or two. For the past year and a half or so, many have been finding it near impossible to get cards at decent prices, if they could even get them at all. But now, there’s a bit of breathing space, so getting hold of anNvidiaor AMD product should be a bit easier for the time being. A report from PC Gamer has been showing some examples, such as a Gigabyte RX 6800 XT which is going for £650, or around $770.

It appears to get even better. At the time of writing, anAMD Radeon RX 6900 XTfrom XFX is currently 36% off, selling for $900, while a Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti is going for just under $1,200, representing a 26% discount. Of course, that’s still pretty expensive, but those who have been waiting patiently in the wings for GPUs to drop to their MSRPs may finally be able to snag the hardware they’ve been hoping for.
By contrast, theNvidia RTX 3090 Ti, which released in March of this year, is just 10% off and is selling for $2,038 for the MSI SUPRIM X model. Given that the 3090 Ti was something of a let-down, representing only a small increase in performance while showing a significant price markup when compared to its predecessor, many may still not be willing to part ways with their hard-earned cash for this one. However, it is probably worth a look before Prime Day ends tomorrow, in case there are any GPUs that are worth the current value. Alternatively, the Zotac version of the RTX 3080 Ti is avaliable for 27% off at $1,199. If you’re looking for a cheaper option as a GPU upgrade, the 3070 Ti is on sale for just under $700.
On top of that,graphics card prices are generally coming down anyway, with the most recent figures showing that there’s been at least a 50% fall since the start of 2022. All things considered, purchasing a brand-newNvidiaor AMD graphics card is still going to set people back, and prices may continue to fall long after Prime Day has finished anyway.
