Best post-Prime Day graphics card deals
This RTX 4070 Ti is an incredibly powerful graphics card with a decent overclock and great output. It’s not the best on the market, but it’s there, and this discount isn’t bad at all.

The RTX 3060 is a last-generation graphics card and is on the weaker end of the pool, but can still deliver impressive performance. As long as you’re not looking for 4K on something like ‘Call of Duty’, this will suffice.

This is a great graphics card for anyone looking for a budget option. It’s from the last generation of Nvidia GPUs, but it comes at a great price and lets you enjoy decent visuals, especially on older and indie games.

This is an excellent and fairly recent graphics card that will keep you gaming at high settings for years to come, and much longer than that if you don’t mind going down to medium.

What is the best GPU?
The best graphics cards provide extra speed for graphics-heavy computing activities, such as photo and video editing or gaming. Which graphics card is right for you mainly depends on your specific needs. For example, if you do professional video editing, you may want to invest in a high-end graphics card designed for the professional graphics level. If you’re looking for something that can only improve gaming and photo editing, a budget option might work just fine for you. Most importantly, as CNET’s Lori Grunin put it, “The world’s most powerful GPU won’t make a difference if your CPU is the bottleneck (and vice versa) — think overkill.”

What makes a good deal on a graphics card?
The price range for graphics cards can vary greatly, from $90 to closer to $2,000 and sometimes even more. There will also be a lot of price variation on cards that use the same GPU. This fluctuation in price points is influenced by features such as cooling systems, design and functionality. Since these are often expensive units, finding a discount can sometimes be a good deal, but be aware of what you actually get for that price.
Where are the best post-Prime Day graphics card deals in the US?
Right now we’re seeing a modest number of graphics cards discounted on Amazon itself. We found the best deals among the anti-Prime Day sales at Best Buy and Walmart.

View all photosHow we pick the best Prime Day graphics card deals
Many of us here at CNET have covered shopping events for years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other sales. In that time, we’ve learned how to find the best deals among a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams, and we only come across the best offers from trusted retailers. When choosing graphics card deals to show you, we look at real discounts, quality ratings and remaining sales time.
- Real discounts mean real savings. We check the price history of products on sale so we know when there is an inflated list price rather than an actual discount.
- Quality assessments and testing are super important for any product. A discount isn’t worth it if it results in a bad product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- The remaining selling time is also important. Some offers are only valid for a short time or may be limited in supply. If that is the case, we will let you know in advance so that you do not renege on the deal later and be disappointed.

Are there any graphics card deals after Prime Day?
Absolute. Many of the graphics card deals happening during Prime Day aren’t specifically tied to the members-only event. That means they can start before the event and continue even after the event has ended, although we expect there will be more variety in sales during the main event and smaller, decreasing options after the event.
