The best Prime Day Nvidia GeForce GPU deals

The fact there are Prime Day Nvidia GPU deals to speak of is something I never expected. I thought that we’d have some graphics card deals (opens in new tab) as we head towards a new age of GPU technology the end of the year, but didn’t think there would be such a swathe of offers on every single part of the Nvidia RTX 30-series stack.

Now I do need to temper expectations a bit: none of the GeForce GPUs are down to the original MSRP, even with the sometimes deep discounts offered by the likes of Amazon, Newegg, B&H Photo, and Best Buy. But the prices are certainly down to a level you wouldn’t traditionally find out of place on third-party overclocked versions of current-gen cards.

It’s also worth pointing out that, even though there are a host of Prime Day PC gaming deals (opens in new tab) to go around, that doesn’t mean we’d necessarily recommend a purchase of just any Nvidia graphics card.

As I said, we’re heading towards the launch of new Nvidia and AMD graphics cards before the end of 2022, and all the rumours point to them being a genuine step up over this generation. That means the hyper-expensive GPUs of today could look positively pedestrian next to a card a fraction of the price (or the same price) in just a few short months.

The new high-end cards will launch first, which means the current high-end cards are a tricky purchase this close to a next-gen release. But in the mid-range and low end of the market that’s not such an issue. More affordable next-gen GPUs aren’t likely to land until well into next year, making a mainstream graphics card purchase still a decent buy right now.

Besides, there’s always something new on the horizon. If you absolutely need a new GPU because yours is toast, then the only time to buy a new card is right now.
