It's a great time to be a PC gamer who needs a new graphics card in their system. Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days , Best Buy's Techtober , and Newegg's FantasTech II sales events have triple-digit discounts on many NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, helping you buy at MSRP or at least very close.
I scoured the internet for the biggest price drops on GeForce RTX 5000 and Radeon RX 9000 cards, but I've also included older generations that are also enjoying huge discounts.

FAQ
Where's the best place to buy a new GPU?
With Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, Best Buy's Techtober , and Newegg's FantasTech II promotions all landing at the same time, there's not really one best place to shop.
That's why I searched through all three retailers (and more, if you want to include Walmart and Target) to find the biggest savings on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs.
Why are so many discounted GPUs still priced higher than MSRP?
GPU prices are constantly in flux; that's just the reality of the market, mainly due to tariffs and trade tensions.
While NVIDIA and AMD can set MSRP on their cards, third-party partners are free to design their own versions and charge whatever they want. These third-party GPUs generally have advantages to justify the price.
Put these two factors together, and you get a GPU market where relatively huge discounts might only help you arrive at the original MSRP.
Is it a good time to buy a new GPU?
There's really never a perfect time to buy a GPU. You can always play the waiting game, holding off until NVIDIA or AMD announces the next generation in hopes that the current generation will fall in price.
You can also wait for bigger deal events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the hopes that sales prices will drop further. Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that you'll see the same discount pricing later this year.
If you see a GPU you like and it's on sale for a price you can afford, I almost always say, "Go for it."
