Prime Day 2024 is nearly upon us. The sales event will see retailers everywhere (not only Amazon) offering sweet discounts on graphics cards. Or at least we hope that will happen. The good news is, there are already some decent graphics card deals today to wet one's whistle.
We mostly recommend buying a current generation graphics card today, no matter how cheap the last generation may look. The RTX 40-series and RX 7000-series currently offer the best bang-for-your-buck. That said, there are a few notable exceptions.
The RX 6750 XT is still a solid buy for 1080p and 1440p gaming. With a generous 12 GB of VRAM, you won't be left high and dry for memory with the next wave of triple-A games. Also the RX 6600 is still a good pick if you're working with a tight budget. Though I'd recommend waiting around for Prime Day for the very best deals, just in case we see a dramatic price drop for a faster or newer card than this.
When will Prime Day 2024 start?
Prime Day 2024 will run from July 16 until July 17. That's technically only two days to take advantage, but don't worry too much. Amazon isn't the only retailer set to drop prices on graphics cards over the next few weeks. Best Buy, Newegg, Walmart, Target and more will be duking it out to offer the best price on PC hardware, and we'll keep an eye on all of them.
How do I become a Prime member for Amazon Prime Day?
You can become a Prime member for free for 30 days at Amazon's Prime membership page. You will have to hand Amazon some of your details to do it, however, including your precious credit card details. Just make sure to cancel your membership before the 30 day period runs out if you don't want to pay for Prime.

ASRock RX 6600 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 1,792 shaders | 2,491 MHz | $199.99 at Newegg
The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU now that its price properly reflects its status. At the $200 price point, we're getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at top 1080p graphics presets. PC gaming doesn't have to cost a fortune, you know?
RX 6600 price check: Walmart $199.99 | Amazon $199.99 | Best Buy $209.99
ASRock Challenger Arc A750 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 3,584 shaders | 2,200 MHz boost | $199.99 at Newegg
The Intel discrete graphics cards have only gotten more relevant since their inauspicious launch. With successive driver releases increasing performance and now a significant price drop, the A750 is one of the most tempting budget GPUs around. It's a bit more power-hungry than AMD's RX 6600 but is a super capable 1080p card knocking both RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 out of the value GPU stakes.
Arc A750 price check: Walmart $199.99 | Amazon $199.99
XFX Speedster SWFT210 RX 6650 XT | 8 GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,635 MHz boost | $229.99 at Newegg
With stock of the RX 6600 XT starting to dwindle it seems like the faster RX 6650 XT is taking its place as one of the best budget GPUs around. It's an 8GB GPU, with effectively the same core specs as the RX 6600 XT, but with a little higher clock speed boost. We like the newer RX 7600 more, but it also costs a little more.
RX 6650 XT price check: Walmart $229.99 | Best Buy $229.99 | Amazon $230.58
XFX RX 7600 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,755 MHz | $259.99 at Newegg
As the budget baby of the RDNA 3 family, the RX 7600 faces a lot of competition. Not just from Intel and Nvidia, but from AMD's previous generation of cards too. At this price, though, it's quite a bit cheaper than the RX 6700 XT and in some games, it performs nearly as well. Not the most exciting of graphics cards, though.
RX 7600 price check: Amazon $259.99 | Walmart $269.99 | Best Buy $259.99
ASRock Challenger Arc A770 | 16 GB GDDR6 | 4,096 shaders | $279.99 at Newegg
You can score a whole heap of memory here for under $300. Admittedly, the rest of the Intel card isn't quite up to par with the competition from AMD and Nvidia in terms of consistency of performance. But if you need lots of memory for other reasons, this is the way to go.
MSI Ventus 2X RTX 4060 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 3,072 shaders | 2,490 MHz | $293 at Walmart
If you must have Ada Lovelace, Nvidia's latest gaming architecture, the cheapest way in is this RTX 4060. Faster than the RTX 3060 but the price suggests it should have been better. You do get the full DLSS 3.5 suite, though, and it's pretty decent at encoding video for streaming. Nevertheless, we prefer AMD's RX 7600 or last-gen RX 6700.
RTX 4060 price check: Best Buy $299.99 | Amazon $299.99 | Newegg $299.99
XFX Speedster SWFT309 Radeon RX 6700 | 10 GB GDDR6 | 2,304 shaders | 2,450 MHz boost | $299.99 $259.99 at Best Buy (save $20)
The RX 6700 is still a great way to score a high amount of VRAM on a more modest budget. It's only moderately faster than the 7600, but it comes with 10 GB of VRAM, which is a safer bet than 8 GB. It also kicks the RTX 4060 for the same money. That said, you can sometimes score an RX 6750 XT for only a small amount more, and that card is faster and has even more memory.
XFX Speedster QICK319 Radeon RX 6750 XT | 12 GB GDDR6 | 2,560 shaders | 2,600 MHz boost | $399.99 $302.26 at Amazon (save $97.73)
Coming in at the same price as the plain ol' RX 6700 XT (which happens infrequently), this version comes with higher core and memory clocks. That generally makes for higher frame rates in games, though that does depend on what you're playing. It's worth a look, especially for all that speedy VRAM.
Price check: Newegg $324.99 | Best Buy $309.99
XFX SPEEDSTER RX 6800 | 16 GB GDDR6 | 3,840 shaders | 2,190 MHz boost | $459.99 $360.58 at Amazon (save $99.41)
This graphic card was launched over three years ago but it's still very potent, especially if you're after ultra-high fps in 1080p shooter games. It has bags of VRAM on a wide memory bus, backed up with mountains of cache. Makes the 8GB GPUs look miserly in comparison.
RX 6800 price check: Walmart $389.99 | Newegg $389.99 | Best Buy $369.99
PNY XLR8 RTX 4060 Ti | 8 GB GDDR6 | 4352 shaders | 2,550 MHz boost | $399.99 $364.99 at Best Buy (save $35)
The RTX 4060 Ti might have had a bit of a rocky reception with that 8GB of VRAM, but we found it performed very well in our review and it makes a very solid mid-range performer, particularly with the ability to take advantage of DLSS 3 and Frame Generation. This is a small twin-fan model that should still run cool and quiet and delivers a lot of gaming performance in a super-efficient fashion.
RTX 4060 Ti price check: Newegg $387.99 | Amazon $369.99 | Walmart $387.99
ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 7700 XT | 12 GB GDDR6 | 3072 shaders | 2,584 MHz boost | $399.99 $379.99 at Newegg (save $20)
The Radeon RX 7700 XT might lose out to its bigger brother, but if you're building a system on a budget it still makes a great mid-range card for solid 1440p gaming, as we found in our review of the Sapphire model. This one also has a nice solid triple fan design, so should run cool and quiet.
RX 7700 XT price check: Amazon $399.99 | Walmart $379.99 | Best Buy $399.99
ASRock Challenger RX 7800 XT | 16 GB GDDR6 | 3,840 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | $499.99 $479.99 at Newegg (save $20)
At this price point, the best card to get used to be the 6800 XT but now we're starting to see deals like this one, where the newer 7800 XT has the same price tag. It's only a little bit faster than the card it's replaced, and admittedly it's pretty much at MSRP, but you're still getting a lotta GPU for the money.
RX 7800 XT price check: Best Buy $499.99 | Walmart $479.99 | Amazon $484
Galax RTX 4070 | 12 GB GDDR6X | 5,888 shaders | 2,490 MHz boost | $699.99 $529.97 at Amazon (save $170.02)
The RTX 4070 is a popular card and can be difficult to find at a discount, but it's important to remember that this price is cheaper than it was at launch. You're getting nearly RTX 3080 performance but with all those nice RTX 40 features. This Galax model uses the traditional 8-pin PCIe power connector, rather than the new 12VHPWR one, which makes it far easier to install as an upgrade.
RTX 4070 price check: Newegg $549.99 | Best Buy $549.99
XFX Radeon RX 7900 GRE | 16 GB GDDR6 | 5,120 shaders | 2,333 MHz boost | $549.99 at Best Buy
The RX 7900 XT is one of the more recent releases out of AMD, at least in the global market. It started out as a special edition for the Chinese gaming market, but it was rolled out globally to help the red team compete with the green guys. It's a good deal, too, being big chunks of the RX 7900 XT but with a bit less of everything.
Price check: Newegg $559.99 | Best Buy $549.99
Zotac RTX 4070 Super | 12 GB GDDR6X | 7,168 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | $589.99 at Newegg
The RTX 4070 Super is only a few months old, so you won't see any discounts for a good while yet. Is it worth $50 more than the regular RTX 4070 and $100 more than the RX 7800 XT? Tricky to answer, so check out the benchmarks in our RTX 4070 Super review to see if it's the right choice for you. There's little else to choose from at this price, but at least you can get them at MSRP.

ASRock Phantom Gaming RX 7900 XT | 20 GB GDDR6 | 5,376 shaders | 2,450 MHz boost | $689.99 at Amazon
Seeing a bunch of RX 7900 XTs selling for well less than the original MSRP is a welcome sight, and while they might get overshadowed by some of Nvidia's greatest, they deliver a huge amount of performance. What we like about the ASRock in particular is that it should run quieter than your average RX 7900 XT. We all could do with a little less noise from our PC.
RX 7900 XT price check: Newegg $699.99 | Best Buy $729.99 | Walmart $689.99
Zotac RTX 4070 Ti Super | 16 GB GDDR6X | 8,448 shaders | 2,610 MHz boost | $799.99 at Newegg
Just like the RTX 4070 Super, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is a relatively new model, so discounts aren't to be found anywhere yet. Just think of it as an RTX 4070 Ti selling at its original MSRP but with more VRAM and a small, but handy, performance boost. This Zotac model is as solid as they come and you really shouldn't be paying more than this price for any other version.
RTX 4070 Ti Super price check: | Walmart $799.99 | Best Buy $799.99 | Amazon $799.99
Sapphire RX 7900 XTX | 24 GB GDDR6 | 6144 shaders | 2,615 MHz boost | $999.99 $919.99 at Best Buy (save $80)
Just like with the RTX 4080, it's hard to find AMD's RX 7900 XTX discounted down below its MSRP price. But good deals can be found and we'll happily take any money knocked off the price of a high-end GPU. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is stupidly fast and there are plenty of good cooling designs for this card, including this one.
RX 7900 XTX price check: Amazon $979.99| Walmart $999.99 | Newegg $929.99
PNY RTX 4080 Super | 16 GB GDDR6 | 10,240 CUDA Cores | 2,565 MHz boost | $999.99 $964.99 at Best Buy (save $35)
While Nvidia's replacement for the RTX 4080 is only a little bit faster, the MSRP of the RTX 4080 Super is a fair bit lower at $999. We've found just one card at that sorta price today, however. That's this PNY, which should be a pretty cool and quiet card.
RTX 4080 price check: Newegg $1,099.99 | Walmart $979.99
Asus TUF GeForce RTX 4090 | 24 GB GDDR6X | 16,384 CUDA Cores | 2,595 MHz boost | $1,779.99 at Newegg
RTX 4090 pricing is still silly money, but at least with this card you're getting MSRP-like prices, and it's a chonky , slightly overclocked edition, too. What with all the export ban nonsense, the RTX 4090 was way up over $2,000 for a time. Now it's back down to something vaguely sane. And it's still by far the fastest graphics card on the planet. Or off it, for that matter.
RTX 4090 price check: Amazon $1,729

Asus Dual RX 6600 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 1,792 shaders | 2,491 MHz | £209.99 £199.99 at Amazon (save £10)
The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU and great value for money if you can score it cheap enough. You're getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at top 1080p graphics presets. At least AMD and Intel are bringing GPU pricing down.
RX 6600 price check: Scan £209.99
Asus RX 7600 | 8 GB | 2,048 shaders | 2,715 MHz | £269.99 £248.99 at Overclockers (save £21)
As the budget baby of the RDNA 3 family, the RX 7600 faces a lot of competition. Not just from Intel and Nvidia, but from AMD's previous generation of cards too. At this price, though, it's a lot cheaper than the RX 6700 XT and in some games, it performs nearly as well. Dare I say that it's a little bit dull?

MSI Ventus 2X RTX 4060 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 3,072 shaders | 2,505 MHz boost | £289.99 £269.99 at Scan (save £20)
Nvidia's cheapest Ada Lovelace model rarely gets much of a discount but this one is the best offer I've seen so far. It performs around the same as the Radeon RX 7600, so what are you getting for the extra cash? The answer is DLSS 3.5 upscaling and frame generation. In some games, it's worth the additional money, especially if you're a fan of ray tracing effects.
RTX 4060 Price check: Amazon £278.99 | Overclockers £289.99
PowerColor RX 6750 XT | 12 GB GDDR6 | 2,560 shaders | 2,600 MHz | £336.83 at Amazon
AMD rules the graphics card market's mainstream and budget ends, and the RX 6750 XT is the best GPU at this price point. The RTX 3060 Ti is more expensive and a little bit slower in many games. Its popularity means supply is somewhat limited so you might need to wait a bit until it's back in stock.
Sapphire RX 7700 XT | 12 GB GDDR6 | 3,456 shaders | 2,544 MHz boost | £469.99 £399.95 at Overclockers UK (save £80)
Plummeting in price since release, the RX 7700 XT becomes more and more one of our favourites with every price drop. Right now it's a superb mid-range GPU with lots of horsepower and plenty of memory to likely last a good many years yet.
RX 7700 XT price check: Amazon £406.58 | Scan £429.98
Gigabyte RX 7800 XT | 16 GB GDDR6 | 3,840 shaders | 2,565 MHz boost | £489 £468.70 at Amazon (save £19.33)
The best card at this price point used to be the 6800 XT but now we're starting to see deals like this one, where the newer 7800 XT has the same price tag or lower. It's only a little bit faster than the card it's replaced but you're still getting a lotta GPU for the money.
RX 7800 XT Price check: Scan £499.99 | Overclockers £469.99
Gigabyte RTX 4070 | 12 GB GDDR6 | 5,888 shaders | 2,490 MHz | £504.98 at Scan
The fact that this is an RTX 4070 retailing for below the standard Nvidia MSRP for the card is the thing to really pay attention to. This is an RTX 3080 with benefits. It's mostly quicker than the previous-gen card and comes with the excellent DLSS 3 Frame Generation tech, too. The only problem is the RTX 4070 Super can be found close in price and it's a faster card.
RTX 4070 Price check: Overclockers £529.99 | Ebuyer £569.99 | Amazon £509.99
Gainward RTX 4070 Super | 12 GB GDDR6X | 7,1688 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | £548.99 £529.99 at Overclockers (save £19)
The RTX 4070 Super is only a few months old, so you won't see many discounts for a good while yet. Is it worth £50 more than the regular RTX 4070 and £100 more than the RX 7800 XT? Tricky to answer, so check out the benchmarks in our RTX 4070 Super review to see if it's the right choice for you. There's little else to choose from at this price, but at least you can get them at, or just under, MSRP.
RTX 4070 Super price check: Ebuyer £579.99 | Scan £579.98 | Amazon £599.99
Gainward RTX 4070 Ti Super | 16 GB GDDR6X | 8,448 shaders | 2,640 MHz boost | £769.99 at Overclockers
Just like the RTX 4070 Super, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is a new model, and while there are no discounts yet, it's better value than the RTX 4070 Ti it replaces. The cheapest one of those is just £40 less. With more VRAM and a small but handy performance boost, the 4070 Ti Super is a decent enough successor, though you'll need to wait a while before the old Ti has dropped more in price.
RTX 4070 Ti Super price check: Scan £799.99 | Ebuyer £789.99 | Amazon £799.99
Asus RX 7900 XTX | 24 GB GDDR6 | 6144 shaders | 2,615MHz boost | £969.98 £859.99 at Scan (save £109.99)
AMD's mighty RX 7900 XTX is now easy to find well under its original MSRP and it's a seriously powerful graphics card. While it's not as potent in ray tracing and AI/machine learning as Nvidia's equivalent cards, it handles standard rendering extremely well and you're getting more VRAM than you could ever want.
RX 7900 XTX price check: Overclockers £869.99 | Ebuyer £879.99 | Amazon £912.26
Inno3D RTX 4080 Super | 16 GB GDDR6X | 10,240 shaders | 2550MHz boost | £998.99 at Overclockers
With an MSRP of £999, the new RTX 4080 Super is clearly a better choice than the original 4080, as it's cheaper and a little bit faster. However, finding one below MSRP is a real struggle at the moment, as stocks are low. This Inno3D model is perfectly decent, if nothing spectacular, and priced rather nicely. If you can call spending over £1000 on a graphics card 'nice'.

Performance comparison
We've benchmarked all the latest GPUs of this generation and have tracked their performance against the previous generation through 3DMark Time Spy Extreme scores. Where we don't have the referential numbers for an older card we have used the average index score from the UL database. These figures track alongside an aggregated 1440p frame rate score from across our suite of benchmarks.
MSRP list
Here's a list of the manufacturer set retail prices (MSRP), or recommended retail price (RRP), for most the latest graphics cards. For the most part, these are the set prices for the stock or reference versions of these cards, if applicable, and not representative of overclocked or third-party graphics cards, which may well be priced higher.
