Graphics card price watch: We're tracking the lowest prices and the best GPU deals for Nvidia, AMD, and Intel cards

This Battlemage-powered card is only a fraction slower than the last-gen A770, the most powerful Alchemist model, but it's worth noting that some games still don't like Intel's GPU architecture. You are getting quite a lot of GPU for the money, but it's a tough one to recommend when an Arc B580 costs only a little more.

Key specs: 2304 shaders | 2660 MHz boost | 10 GB GDDR6

Arc B570 price check: Walmart $259.99 | Amazon $259.99 | Best Buy $275.99

Nvidia's lowliest member of the RTX 50-series family isn't going to win many awards. Well, that was before prices for all GPUs went up and while the RTX 5050 is only a little faster than the Arc B570, its performance is more consistent. As things currently stand, it's actually the best budget graphics card around.

Key specs: 2560 shaders | 2587 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR6

RTX 5050 price check: Best Buy $299.99 | Newegg $299.99 | Amazon $359.99

Although it can be really fast in some games, the B580 isn't as consistent as AMD and Nvidia's offerings. However, the one thing it is consistent at is sporting an increased price tag and a reduction in stock levels. Only worth considering if you want more than 8 GB of VRAM or Intel's excellent video encoders. Full discount needs a free Newegg login.

Key specs: 2560 shaders | 2670 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR6

Arc B580 price check: Amazon $309.99 | Walmart $310 | Best Buy $328.99

The RTX 5060 isn't massively faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4060, but having full support for DLSS 4.5 is certainly a plus. It's not a bad graphics card, by any means, but it should really be cheaper than this, especially with the RTX 5060 Ti so near in price.

Key specs: 2048 shaders | 2535 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR7

RTX 5060 price check: Best Buy $449.99 | Newegg $459.99 | Amazon $444.72

Nvidia's RTX 5060 has superior upscaling and frame generation technologies, but AMD's little RX 9060 XT has it beat on raw GPU power, including ray tracing. It probably isn't worth paying $70 more for the 16 GB version, though, even though the extra VRAM can make a big difference in some games.

Key specs: 2048 shaders | 3320 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR6

RX 9060 XT 8 GB price check: Amazon $419.99 | Best Buy $381.99 | Walmart $409

The 8 GB version of the new RTX 5060 Ti is a lot cheaper than the 16 GB one, and while the extra VRAM will be useful in the future, it's absolutely not worth paying $200+ more for it, despite the clear benefits. This is a great little GPU for the money.

Key specs: 4608 shaders | 2602 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR7

RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB price check: Amazon $465.96 | Newegg $499.99 | Best Buy $499.99

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, and you're paying quite a lot less money. That counts for a lot these days.

Key specs: 2048 shaders | 3290 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

RX 9060 XT 16 GB price check: Walmart $469.99 | Newegg $469.99 | Best Buy $498.49

The RX 9070 GRE is the latest entry in AMD's RX 9000-series, and for the money, you're getting a great mid-range graphics card. If it stays at this price, then it will be the sensible choice over the 16 GB RTX 5060 Ti. Let's hope that there's enough supply, as stocks are already looking a bit thin. You need to have a Newegg account and use the same email address to claim the $35 promo code.

Key specs: 3072 shaders | 2920 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 GRE price check: Newegg $549.99 | Best Buy $549.99 | Walmart $564.64

The RX 9070 is a really solid mid-range graphics card, but it suffers from highly inconsistent pricing. At the moment, it undercuts the RTX 5070 and outperforms it, so it's certainly worth considering. It is over MSRP, though not by too much. Comes with free Challenger 750 W PSU.

Key specs: 3584 shaders | 2520 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 price check: Newegg $649.99 | Best Buy $669.99 | Walmart $650

The RX 9070 XT is AMD's best graphics card in recent years, but it was hugely overpriced for a long time. While we did manage to enjoy this GPU at a sensible price towards the end of 2025, it's now headed back into the realm of unaffordability for the market it was initially pitched at.

Key specs: 4096 shaders | 2970 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 XT price check: Newegg $749.99 | Walmart $749.99 | Best Buy $739.99

While the specs suggest it should only be a little faster than the RTX 4060 Ti, the use of super-speedy GDDR7 gives the RTX 5060 Ti a surprisingly big boost. It's probably not worth paying significantly over the MSRP to bag one, though, especially when the RX 9070 GRE is cheaper and faster.

Key specs: 4608 shaders | 2602 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR7

RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB price check: Newegg $779.99 | Best Buy $789.99 | Amazon $786.82 | Walmart $779.99

Although the RTX 5070 is a good deal faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4070, it's less of an upgrade compared to the RTX 4070 Super. DLSS 4.5 just about tips the balance in favor of the newer model, but it's a bit of a hard sell at this price.

Key specs: 6144 shaders | 2542 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR7

RTX 5070 price check: Best Buy $799.99 | Amazon $811.19 | Walmart $819.99

At its $749 MSRP, the RTX 5070 Ti was an expensive but superb graphics card. Alas, while it's still very good, prices have risen to ridiculous levels, and overall stock levels aren't great either. This 'offer' is the best one of them all, but it's still very overpriced, though you do get Control Resonant and an MSI wireless gaming headset buying it through Newegg right now.

Key specs: 8960 shaders | 2572 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR7

RTX 5070 Ti price check: Walmart $1,149.99 | Best Buy $1,149.99 | Amazon $1,149.99

Nvidia's RTX 5080 is now consistently well over MSRP, but even at $999, it's arguably not worth the price. That's because it's not that much faster than the RTX 4080 it replaces. You do get the full DLSS 4.5 suite, including Multi Frame Generation, but you're better off waiting until prices become more sensible, assuming they ever do.

Key specs: 10752 shaders | 2640 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR7

RTX 5080 price check: Amazon $1,599.99 | Best Buy $1,599.99 | Newegg $1,579.99

With the likelihood of the RTX 5090 ever being sold at a 'mere mortals' price (aka MSRP or lower) roughly being zero, you're left with options like this one if you really must have the most powerful gaming graphics card money can buy. It's astonishingly fast, but oh boy, that price tag.

Key specs: 21760 shaders | 2655 MHz boost | 32 GB GDDR7

Intel's budget B570 is a lot of GPU for the money, though it's worth noting that AMD and Nvidia's cards are generally faster. It can be a bit picky about which games run well on it, but at this price, it's better value than the B580.

Key specs: 2304 shaders | 2690 MHz boost | 10 GB GDDR6

Arc B570 price check: Amazon £273.99

Nvidia's lowliest member of the RTX 50-series family isn't going to win many awards. Well, that was before prices for all GPUs went up and while the RTX 5050 is only a little faster than the Arc B570, its performance is more consistent. As things currently stand, it's actually the best budget graphics card around.

Key specs: 2560 shaders | 2570 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR6

RTX 5050 price check: Currys £329.99 | Scan £289.99 | Amazon £289.99

The RTX 5060 isn't massively faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4060, but having full support for DLSS 4.5 is certainly a plus. It's not a bad graphics card, and this deal puts it nicely under MSRP, but the RTX 5060 Ti is a bit too close in price for comfort.

Key specs: 3840 shaders | 2497 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR7

RTX 5060 price check: Scan £337.99 | Currys £379.99 | Overclockers £329.99

Nvidia's RTX 5060 has superior upscaling and frame generation technologies, but AMD's little RX 9060 XT beats it on raw GPU power, including ray tracing. It isn't really worth paying £120 more for the 16 GB version, though, even though the extra VRAM can make a big difference in some games.

Key specs: 2048 shaders | 3150 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR6

RX 9060 XT 8 GB price check: Scan £439.99 | Amazon £387.02

The 8 GB version of the new RTX 5060 Ti is a lot cheaper than the 16 GB one, and while the extra VRAM can make a big difference in some games, it's absolutely not worth paying £150 more for it. This is a great little GPU for the money. And you get a free 650 W PSU with the Amazon deal.

Key specs: 4608 shaders | 2632 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR7

RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB price check: Scan £382.99 | Overclockers £389.99

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 otherwise it's generally on par, and you're paying quite a lot less money. That counts for a lot these days. Then again, it's also quite a lot over MSRP.

Key specs: 2048 shaders | 3250 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

RX 9060 XT 16 GB price check: Overclockers £449.99 | Scan £439.99

The RX 9070 GRE is the latest entry in AMD's RX 9000-series, and a great mid-range graphics card. However, the RX 9070 and RTX 5070 are only a little more expensive, with the former being noticeably faster.

Key specs: 3072 shaders | 2920 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 GRE price check: Amazon £499.99 | Overclockers £499.99

While the specs suggest it should only be a little faster than the RTX 4060 Ti, the use of super-speedy GDDR7 gives the RTX 5060 Ti a surprisingly big boost. It's probably not worth paying over the MSRP to bag one, though, especially when the RX 9070 GRE is the same price and faster.

Key specs: 4608 shaders | 2572 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR7

RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB price check: Scan £599.99 | Overclockers $619.99

The RX 9070 is a really solid mid-range graphics card, and now that it's priced way more sensibly than it was at launch, it's a better purchase than the RTX 5070. For just a little more money, you get a fair bit more speed in games, even when ray tracing is enabled.

Key specs: 3584 shaders | 2610 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 price check: Amazon £589.99 | Overclockers £619.99

The RTX 5070 is a good deal faster than its predecessor, the RTX 4070, and it's priced very similarly. Other 5070 models are more expensive than this one, so don't waste your money on them. This one will do everything you need, and amazingly, it's under Nvidia's MSRP.

Key specs: 6144 shaders | 2542 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR7

RTX 5070 price check: Overclockers £649.99 | Scan £609.99

The RX 9070 XT is AMD's best graphics card in recent years, but it was hugely overpriced for a long time. While we did manage to enjoy this GPU at a sensible price towards the end of 2025, it's now headed back into the realm of unaffordability. However, this deal bucks that trend entirely and is well worth considering.

Key specs: 4096 shaders | 3060 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR6

RX 9070 XT price check: Overclockers £698.99 | Scan £699.98

At its MSRP, the RTX 5070 Ti is an expensive but superb graphics card. Alas, while it's still very good, prices are now a lot higher, and overall stocks aren't great. This offer is still massively overpriced, but it's the best price we can find for this otherwise really good graphics card.

Key specs: 8960 shaders | 2482 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR7

RTX 5070 Ti price check: Overclockers £989.99 | Scan £999.98

This RTX 5080 is only slightly above the launch MSRP, but it's still arguably not worth the money, as it 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 might be better off waiting for a bigger price drop. If one ever comes, now...

Key specs: 10752 shaders | 2617 MHz boost | 16 GB GDDR7

RTX 5080 price check: Scan £1,259.99 | Overclockers £1,249.99

If you really must have the most powerful gaming graphics card money can buy, then you're going to need an awful lot of money. You'll need a high-end CPU and PSU to go with it, but if you're happy to spend this kind of money on a graphics card, it probably won't matter.
