Outside of the Prime Day sales, I hunt down the very best graphics card deals every single week. But at the moment, I'm checking all the major retailers' offers almost constantly. Mostly in the vain hope that something like an RTX 5070 Ti will be sold at its MSRP.

Fat chance, you might think, but you'd be surprised to know that two graphics cards are under their MSRPs: a PNY 8 GB RTX 5060 Ti and this one, a Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 GRE, now just $500 at Newegg. Make sure to grab the $50 promo code to get the correct price.

That's $46 under its launch price, and while that's not a massive saving, every other latest-gen graphics card (bar the 5060 Ti I've mentioned above) is noticeably over its MSRP. Now, such a situation might give you cause to worry about the GPU on offer. After all, if it's so cheap, then surely there must be a problem, right?

The cheaper RX 9070 GRE is getting very close to the 1080p performance of the RX 9070, and it's practically a tie with the pricier Nvidia RTX 5070.

Well, take a gander at the performance figures above, as measured for our review of the Radeon RX 9070 GRE. It's faster than a 16 GB RTX 5060 Ti and close to an RTX 5070, but here's the real kicker: it's cheaper than both of them. I know, it's somewhat of a ridiculous situation, all thanks to the AI-induced RAMpocalypse ruining the price of VRAM, but never clock a gift horse in the mouth.

As the 9070 GRE uses an RDNA 4 GPU, it has full, native support for FSR 4.1, which is a vastly superior upscaling and frame generation suite than FSR 3. It's arguably not quite as good as DLSS 4.5, and AMD is the only GPU maker to not offer multi-frame gen yet, but overall, FSR 4.1 is very good.

Since the graphics card only draws around 250 W at most, it only requires two PCIe power connectors to work, and that amount of heat shouldn't turn your gaming den into a raging furnace either.

Here's the NickGPT summary for this card: fast, capable, good value, chicken chicken, potato, my name is Susan. Dammit AI, can't you get anything right?

Nick, gaming, and computers all first met in the early 1980s. After leaving university, he became a physics and IT teacher and started writing about tech in the late 1990s. That resulted in him working with MadOnion to write the help files for 3DMark and PCMark. After a short stint working at Beyond3D.com, Nick joined Futuremark (MadOnion rebranded) full-time, as editor-in-chief for its PC gaming section, YouGamers. After the site shutdown, he became an engineering and computing lecturer for many years, but missed the writing bug. Cue four years at TechSpot.com covering everything and anything to do with tech and PCs. He freely admits to being far too obsessed with GPUs and open-world grindy RPGs, but who isn't these days?

Believe it or not, you can buy a graphics card for less than its MSRP—and you don't need to be an Amazon Prime member to bag one
