These aren't the golden times for the best graphics card deals, I'm afraid. With the arrival of a new generation of AMD and Nvidia GPUs, prices haven't trended down at all—in fact, it's gone very much the opposite way. The latest and greatest GPUs are still prohibitively expensive for the most part, and stocks of older models are few and far between, though it's a much better situation in the UK than the US.

The new generation of graphics cards started late last year, with the Intel Arc B580 and was swiftly followed by Nvidia's RTX 50 series, led by the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 Ti. AMD's RX 9070 series has joined the crowd soon after, and you might have noticed AMD isn't opting for an uber-high-end graphics card in its RX 9070 series, instead leaving Nvidia to dominate with its latest AI-supercharged cards.

The expensive RTX 50-series gets a significant performance uplift through its Multi-Frame Generation, but supplies of the Blackwell GPU were initially low, despite claims of doubling sales over the RTX 40-series. The RX 9070 series counters this with a solid all-around performance, although its price is highly volatile at present.

But what about deals on the previous generation? Some of those new cards make it tough to recommend many of the previous generations, even at pretty decent discounts. Even the budget market isn't super competitive, because the new RTX 5060 and RX 9060 XT are no more expensive than the last generation of GPUs, and those aren't dropping much in price either.

So if you are in the market for a new graphics card right now, we've worked through all the angles for you, and below are the best prices and availability on every current graphics card we think you should consider upgrading your gaming PC with.

Five things I always tell people before they buy their first graphics card

1. It's all about your budget

2. Buy the graphics card not the brand

3. Erm… yeah, it's also all about your monitor, too

4. You can always wait for a new generation, but don't automatically ignore the last-gen cards

5. It's an easy upgrade

Price watch: ➖
Sparkle Arc B570 | 10 GB GDDR6 | 2304 shaders | 2600 MHz boost | $289.99 $259.99 at Amazon (save $30)
Intel's new Battlemage chip is only a fraction slower than its last-gen Arc A770, but it's too expensive and too close in price to the B580. It's also worth noting that the drivers still need work, as some games don't like the new architecture. When it's all working fine, you're getting a lot of GPU for the money, though the price is over the MSRP.

Arc B570 price check: Walmart $279.99 | Newegg $279.99 | B&H Photo $299.99

Price watch: ➖
Asus RX 7600 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 2048 shaders | 2715 MHz boost | $274.99 at Amazon
As the budget baby of AMD's RDNA 3 family, the RX 7600 faces plenty of competition, and not just from Intel and Nvidia. AMD's previous generation of cards, the RX 6000-series, is just as good, though harder to find new. At this price, though, it's quite a bit cheaper than the RX 6700 XT and in some games, it performs nearly as well, as you can see in our review. It's not the most exciting of graphics cards, though.

RX 7600 price check: Newegg $279.99 | Walmart $279.99 | Best Buy $329.99 |

Price watch: ➖
ASRock RX 9060 XT | 16 GB GDDR6 | 2048 shaders | 3290 MHz boost | $369.99 at Newegg
The 16 GB version of the RX 9060 XT isn't quite as fast as the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB card when ray tracing is involved, but outside of that, it's generally on par. You don't get as good an upscaling and frame generation system as with the Nvidia GPU, though. On the plus side, it is much cheaper, and that counts for a lot these days.

RX 9060 XT 16 GB price check: Amazon $379.99 | Best Buy $389.99 | Walmart $446.64

Price watch: ➖
Gigabyte RTX 5060 Ti | 8 GB GDDR7 | 4608 shaders | 2692 MHz boost | $419.99 $379.99 at Newegg (save $40)
The 8 GB version of the new RTX 5060 Ti should really be cheaper than this, but this is the MSRP that Nvidia has set. You're better off saving a bit more money and waiting for an affordable 16 GB model, though. It won't be any faster, but the extra VRAM is worth having when games start to demand more memory.

RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB price check: Amazon $379.99 | B&H Photo $379.99 | Best Buy $379.99 | Walmart $409.99

Price watch: ➖
Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti | 16 GB GDDR7 | 8960 shaders | 2497 MHz boost | $839.99 at Amazon
At its $749 MSRP, the RTX 5070 Ti is a superb graphics card, but current prices are nowhere near that mark. Instead, you're looking at $100 more for a standard 5070 Ti, which is far less appealing at this price. If you think of it as being like an RTX 4080 with DLSS 4 support, though, then it doesn't seem quite so bad.

RTX 5070 Ti price check: Newegg $899.99 | Walmart $899.99 | Best Buy $939.99 | B&H Photo $949.99

Price watch: ➖
Asus RTX 5080 | 16 GB GDDR7 | 10752 shaders | 2640 MHz boost | $1,399.99 @ Newegg
Yes, it's $400 over Nvidia's MSRP for the RTX 5080. That's just how things are at the moment. It's arguably not worth the money, either, as the RTX 5080 isn't that much faster than the RTX 4080 it replaces. You do get the full DLSS 4 suite, including Multi Frame Generation, but you're better off waiting until prices become more sensible.

RTX 5080 price check: Best Buy $1,399.99 | Walmart $1,409.99 | Amazon $1,479.99 | B&H Photo $1,539.99

Zotac RTX 5060 Ti | 16 GB GDDR7 | 4608 shaders | 2572 MHz boost | £399 £377.99 at Scan (save £21.01)
While the specs suggest it should only be a little faster than the 4060 Ti, the use of super-speedy GDDR7 gives the little Blackwell GPU a healthy boost. Not worth buying if you already have an RTX 40-series card, but it's a decent upgrade if you have a much older GPU. The 8 GB version is cheaper, though there's no sign of it on retailers' shelves.

RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB price check: Overclockers £379.99 | Amazon £449.99 | Ebuyer £467.94

Price watch: ➖
XFX RX 9070 | 16 GB GDDR6 | 3584 shaders | 2700 MHz boost | £605 £539.96 at Ebuyer (save £65.04)
The RX 9070 is a really solid mid-range graphics card, provided you can get one at a sensible price. While this deal is a little on the pricey side, it's still better value for money than Nvidia's RTX 50-series. FSR 4 upscaling and frame generation are the best AMD tech in years. The only problem is that the RX 9070 XT is available for only a little extra cash.

RX 9070 price check: Overclockers £539.99 | Scan £574.99

Performance comparison

We've benchmarked all the latest GPUs of this generation, and have tracked their performance against the previous generation in terms of 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.

Intel's Arc cards are not noted here, as they generally score uncharacteristically highly in 3DMark, and that gives a false sense of performance without other frame rate figures to delve into. Check out our Arc A770 review and Arc A750 review for more.

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.

FAQ

What does 'price watch' mean?

We've added a new "price watch" qualifier to all our individual deals, making it easy to see whether a price has gone up 🔼 or down 🔽 since we last checked it out. It's important to note that any deal in this guide (even if it's slightly risen in price) is still one of our top picks, as we only show you deals that are actually worth buying.
