The Prime Big Deal Days are finished. Over and out, done and dusted. We can all relax now until Black Friday comes barrelling in, of course. Amazon wasn't the only retailer with graphics cards deals and there are still plenty out there for you to pick up your next gaming PC upgrade for less. As always, we've still kept our eyes out for the best deals and highlighted them below, and we'll continue to collate the top offers in our early Black Friday graphics card deals page.
The prices we've seen in the recent sales are likely to be a good indicator as to what to expect with Black Friday. I don't think there will be any major surprises in store , as there aren't any new GPUs coming out to push prices down on older models. But you never know, one or two retailers may have kept something back to help stand out from the crowd.
As always though, we're going to be picky as to which deals are worth it. We won't try to justify buying a 16-series or 20-series card in 2023, as they're just too outdated and don't offer the value for money anymore. There are still some good deals to be found on last-gen GPUs and we're starting to see the odd offer on some current-gen cards.
We'll continue to add deals from further afield than Amazon. The reason being is, Amazon has a lot of sway in the online retailer world: if Bezos drops prices, the rest follow. We're sure to see major technology retailers also offering sales to match Amazon during its event and days surrounding it, and we'll keep you up to date with discounts from all over down below.
When will Amazon's Prime Day event end?
Amazon's Big Deal Days event runs through until midnight tonight, October 11. But it's worth noting that other retailers piggy-backing on Amazon's event will still be continuing the deals throughout the rest of the week, too.

Performance comparison
Every new GPU generation offers new features and possibilities. But rasterized rendering is still the most important metric for general gaming performance across the PC gaming world. Sure, Nvidia GPUs might well be better at the ray tracing benchmarks they more or less instigated, but when it comes to standard gaming performance AMD's latest line up can certainly keep pace.
It's also worth noting that the previous generation of graphics cards do still have something to offer, with something like the GTX 1650 Super able to outpace a more modern RTX 3050 in most benchmarks.
We're not saying you should buy an older card in 2023—AMD's budget RX 7000-series is a much better deal today—but it's worth knowing where your current GPU stacks up, or just knowing the lie of the land. But there is also the fact there will be gaming rigs on sale with older graphics cards over the next few days, and if they're cheap enough they may still be worth a punt as a cheap entry into PC gaming.
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.
