Prime Day graphics card deals are slowly improving — here are the GPUs I'd actually buy
Update 7/8 11:30am BST / 06:30 ET: U.K. GPU prices have gone back down for the entire range bar the RTX 5080 and 5090 — the 5060 Ti, 5070 and 5070 Ti are cheaper than ever! Meanwhile, the U.S. GPU Prime Day deals there are cards now available at MSRP! Not quite the savings we wanted, but at least it's progress! Ever since I started testing GPUs, I've been waiting for the moment to say my favorite graphics cards are on sale for Prime Day. I did start as a deals writer, so the high I'd feel to tell you that you could save money on an RTX 5060 Ti or RTX 5070 Ti would be significant. And now we're here, that situation is sort of improving. I know I roasted the expectation of paying $1,000 for an RTX 5070 Ti, and that diabolical price is still present (so much for "deals"). But with stock levels normalizing — particularly on mid-range cards — it's not getting pretty easy to find a GPU at MSRP. In the U.K., the situation is even better, because we are seeing actual deals. Like, proper discounts on RTX 50-series GPU retail prices. So don't fall for the trash savings, take a trip with me and I'll point you in the right direction. I've checked for GPU stock over the course of this entire year, and one thing has become abundantly clear — scalping is not really a thing in Britain. That's not to say it doesn't exist. There are still plenty of cards that are being sold for £30-50 more. But stocking issues don't seem to be plaguing the U.K. as much, and because of that, retailers are selling some models at (or even below) recommended retail price (RRP). This is for the model with 16GB of video memory (the right one to buy), and scalpers be damned you can get it for £2 below RRP! That's over £30 below RRP for the RTX 5070. Given my main gripe with this was the price to performance, this certainly makes it a much more tempting card to get. So the RTX 5070 Ti (my personal favorite of the bunch) just dropped an extra £10 below retail price! Now this is a surprise! Even the RTX 5080 is £50 below RRP too. And right now, that's where the Nvidia party ends for GPUs under RRP, as price quickly jumps up with RTX 5090. But enough showing off about the U.K. — let's try and find my friends in the States a little something. Here are 3 tips for your GPU-buying mission: Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Got all that? Good! Rather than go immediately for the first thing you see a big red sale sticker on (that's not actually a sale), go for these instead. This falls into that $50 area of acceptable price increases, and you're getting a rather impressive GPU here with 16GB of video memory and all of AMD's upcoming FSR 4 tech that is really taking the fight to Nvidia's DLSS. Well, well well! A 16GB version of the 5060 Ti at MSRP. This is going to get snapped up quick, so be speedy about grabbing this — definitely an encouraging sign of normalizing prices. My main gripe with the RTX 5070 was the fact it was never available at retail price. Well, Best Buy has shocked me with this MSRP beast of a buy. Snag it while you can. Anything further above this, and you're looking at some shocking price increases. That's why a pre-built PC could be the way forward here. To replicate the exact specs of this (AMD Ryzen 7 9800 X3D, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, etc), you'd be spending $100 more for the parts individually.

Nvidia Secures 92% GPU Market Share in Q1 2025
Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) captured a dominant 92% share of the add-in-board GPU market in the first quarter of 2025, extending its lead over rivals Advanced Micro Devices (AMD, Financials) and Intel (INTC, Financials), according to Jon Peddie Research. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. Revenue and shipment figures from the PC GPU market show Nvidia expanded its AIB market share by 8.5 percentage points quarter over quarter, while AMD dropped 7.3 percentage points to 8%. Intel fell to 0% after a 1.2-point decline. The total AIB market shipped 9.2 million units in Q1. The companys growth was driven by the launch of its RTX 50 series GPUs, while AMDs RDNA 4 launch came later in the quarter. Intels Battlemage B-series failed to move the needle, per the data. In the overall PC GPU spaceincluding integrated graphicsNvidia also gained 3.6 percentage points, outperforming AMD and Intel, who posted respective declines of 1.6 and 2.1 points. Demand from gamers remains concentrated on the RTX 3060 and 4060, according to Steams May 2025 hardware survey, though the new 5060 Ti has started to appear with a 0.21% share. The strength in discrete GPUs contrasts with a broader slowdown in the desktop CPU market, which shrank by 14.5% year over year and 20.6% quarter over quarter. However, data center GPU shipments rose 9.6%, reflecting ongoing AI-driven demand. The discrete GPU market is expected to face a -10.3% CAGR through 2028, with Jon Peddie Research projecting an installed base of 130 million units by the end of the forecast period. By 2028, PC GPUs are expected to total 2.8 billion units, with dedicated GPUs reaching 15% penetration. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

I tested the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 for 2 months — here's why it's good, but not great
With how strong the RTX 5070 Ti is, and the surprisingly good RTX 5060 Ti (with 16GB of video memory), I'm confused by Nvidia's RTX 5070. Like, who is this for? Not to say it's bad at the job of playing games and boosting content creation workloads. There's a solid generational uplift over the 4070 Super when it comes to raw rendering and AI, and it does get you all the DLSS 4 goodness including multi-frame generation. Without any AI trickery, it's a solid 1440p card, and with it turned on, you can game at 4K with buttery smooth frame rates. But the problems do start appearing when you see this only has 12GB of video memory on a 192-bit memory bus, which in a card that is selling for nowhere near the $549 MSRP is not kosher. The memory bus (how much data can be moved per clock cycle) is one thing, but to have 4GB less in here than the cheaper 5060 Ti is an odd choice – especially given how demanding certain games can get when ratcheting up the graphics settings. Also, when you start to see that the cheaper RTX 4070 Super has better performance in some games, it can leave a bit of a bad taste in your mouth. And that's before you even address the AMD elephant in the room. The RX 9070 outperforms consistently and is available for cheaper, and you can even get the mightier RX 9070 XT for a lower average price than Nvidia's option. If you're super invested in the Nvidia space and you're coming from a 20 or 30-series card, there's something to be had here. But also, I'd suggest you either jump up to the 5070 Ti for a truly big jump in performance, the 5060 Ti for better value for money, or can I tempt you with Team Red? For frame of reference, we are using some testing data from our friends over at Tom's Hardware. If you're looking for more dense detail and analysis on specific cards, our sister site is the best place to go! RTX 5070 RTX 4070 Super Price (MSRP) $549 $599 Video memory 12GB GDDR7 12GB GDDR6X RT Cores 48 4th Gen cores 46 3rd Gen cores Tensor Cores 192 5th Gen cores 224 4th Gen cores CUDA Cores 6,144 7,168 Power consumption (TDP) 250W 220W Ports 1x HDMI 2.1b, 3x DisplayPort 2.1b 1x HDMI 2.1, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a Packed into that classy Fractal North gaming case, you'll find the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, 32GB of Corsair DDR5 RAM and SanDisk's WD_Black SN8100 PCie Gen 5 SSD. There's a Corsair 850W power supply on board, everything is attached to the Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus Wi-Fi 7 motherboard, and eliminating thermal throttling is the FrostFlow 200 Series CPU cooler. I know the RTX 5070 gets lost in the mix of other GPUs out there, but there are two key strengths to this card – bridging the gap between 1440p and 4K performance, and providing a zen-like balance between being a good gaming GPU and boosting your AI and creative workflows. While the RTX 5060 Ti is strictly a 1440p card in my books, the 5070 has a little more wiggle room between 1440p and 4K in my own testing. Yes, a lot of this comes down to DLSS 4 in some games, but in some of your better-optimized games, you can find pretty decent numbers that duke it out with the RX 9070. GPU Cyberpunk 2077 ray tracing ultra 1440p Forza Horizon 5 max settings 1440p RTX 5070 41 FPS 171 FPS RTX 5070 Ti 53 FPS 196 FPS RTX 5060 Ti 30 FPS 121 FPS RX 9070 XT 68 FPS n/a RX 9070 46 FPS n/a RTX 4070 Super 44 FPS 136 FPS Is this enough to warrant improvements over the RTX 4070 Super? Sort of, but the gen-on-gen improvement are small or non-existent (more on that later). But of course, you flip the switch on making the most of those AI capabilities with DLSS 4 and multi-frame gen, and you'll see those numbers comparatively skyrocket. Moving from the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) of DLSS 3 to the Transformer Model of DLSS 4 (working smarter like ChatGPT does) results in smoother frame rates with improved 1% lows, and drastically cuts the amount of ghosting that appears around fast moving objects. That being said though, the RTX 5070 is a little too close for comfort to the RTX 5060 Ti. Of course, if you do pixel peep, you could identify small imperfections around finer details like hair or leaves on a tree. But who's really spending their time not playing games and looking at hair!? …except for me…moving on. As to the point of latency that could be caused by DLSS (Nvidia is stuffing AI frames in between rendered frames – that doesn't make a game more responsive), Reflex does a stellar job in keeping the response time to below 10ms. Of course, to get lower in competitive games, you can tinker with the settings, but for most gameplay, this is OK. If you're a bit like me and you want to do more with your PC than just games, the 5070 is pretty great at creative work and AI-driven performance too. Not great enough to beat the 4070 Super again (awkward). But for getting stuff done, the Blackwell architecture stands head and shoulders above AMD's GPU offering. This puts the RTX 5070 a lot closer to the 5070 Ti than I expected, and a strong Blender score means great rendering performance for the likes of content creation and animation. Meanwhile, over on the AI side, it's not really a competition here. Given that Nvidia has been busy transforming into the picks and shovels company for the AI gold rush, this is no real surprise. And that AI performance doesn't just serve improved game performance, it can help you with running local LLMs, image generation, and AI-infused tasks on the likes of Photoshop. All sounds good on paper, but you can't just view the RTX 5070 in a vacuum. Once you take a look around, you start to see why it's a little bit lost in the shuffle. By the way, I'm glad Nvidia has scrubbed the '4090 performance in a 5070' statement from its website – given the trickery you'd have to use to get there. Yes, the AI superpowers of this card are great and all that, but DLSS can become a distraction from the fact that in terms of raw rendering performance, the 5070 is seemingly aped by the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RTX 4070 Super. Plus the cheaper RX 9070 comes too close for comfort in the tables above. And in terms of futureproofing for the next few years of use, 12GB of GDDR7 video memory is good enough for the games of today. But in the desktop gaming space, I'd personally take more at a lower bandwidth from the likes of AMD or the RTX 5060 Ti to ensure smoother performance as titles get more demanding. Especially at the price you're expected to pay… The GPU market has been rough over the past few months. Not for everyone, luckily. The RTX 5070 in the U.K. is supposed to sell for £539, but you can pick one up with prices starting at £529 right now. But over in the U.S., it's a very different story. MSRP is $549, but the cheapest I've been able to find is $609 with the average cost coming in at $750 across the many that are available. Given the performance you get, this drastic uplift in cost prices it out of the range I'd say is acceptable to pay. That isn't to say other cards are bearing the brunt of this too, as the average price of the RX 9070 is around $720 and the XT is mooning at $820 average right now. Plus, it seems like retailers have cottoned onto the 4070 Super being a more powerful GPU in certain areas, and that average price has skyrocketed. All I'm saying is if you can wait, then please do so until more stock comes in and the prices normalize. So while the RTX 5060 Ti is the GPU where DLSS 4 makes sense, and the 5070 Ti is a monster in my own testing, the 5070 is caught between a rock and a hard place. In my two months using it, there is some fun to be had with the AI features and power you can extract from it. But the raw performance is just not there when compared to the competition and cheaper Nvidia cards of last generation – leaving it as the awkward middle child of the range that's good, but not great. And certainly not worth the average retail price of $750 (at the time of writing this). And for this asking price, AMD is right there – ready to swoop up your cash and give you something that is a little more futureproofed with more video memory and stronger performance.

AMD unveils Radeon RX 9060 XT at Computex 2025
AMD has unveiled its 9060 XT GPU at Computex 2025. The midrange GPU will be the clear competitor to Nvidia's 5060 Ti and goes toe-to-toe with it on almost every spec. Built on AMD's 4-nanometer RDNA 4 silicon , the 9060 XT will pack 32 compute units, along with 64 dedicated AI accelerators and 32 ray-tracing cores. Notably, the RX 9060 XT will ship in 8GB and 16GB GDDR6 versions, whereas Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti uses faster 28 Gb/s GDDR7, delivering roughly 40 percent more bandwidth (448 GB/s vs. approximately 322 GB/s) on the same 128-bit bus. We'll have to wait for some side-by-side performance comparisons before drawing any strong conclusions from those specs. AMD has listed the 9060 XT's boost clock at speeds up to 3.13 GHz. The GPU boasts 821 TOPS for AI workloads and will draw a modest 150 to 182 watts from the board. The card will connect via PCIe 5.0 x16 and supports the now-standard DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b. Based on these initial specs, the 9060 XT should be a solid entry for games running at 1080p and a decent option for those at 1440p. Those wishing to play at 4K should still opt for the Radeon RX 9070 or 9070 XT . Pricing and exact release timelines have not yet been announced.

NVIDIA's Secret Weapon: RTX 5060 Ti Leak Hints at Game-Changing Price War
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) is gearing up for a mid-April launch of its new GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPUsavailable in both 16 GB and 8 GB variantswith insiders pointing to an April 16 release date. While the company hasn't officially confirmed the launch, multiple supplier spec sheets and price leaks have all but sealed the deal. Industry chatter suggests NVIDIA will price the 16 GB model at $499 and the 8 GB version at $399, matching the performance levels of the current RTX 4060 Ti. That aggressive pricing hints at a clear strategy: move fast, dominate the mid-range, and clear out old-gen stock. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with NVDA. Supply chain sources say NVIDIA is sticking to its playbookleaning on tried-and-tested MSRP anchors from previous generations while transitioning to the new "Blackwell" GPU lineup. Retailers have already started slashing prices on the 4060 Ti, likely making room for the 5060 Ti series. And based on past launches, this could be NVIDIA's way of locking in early momentum before its full Blackwell rollout hits stride. For context, the standard RTX 5060 model is still a few weeks outexpected sometime in Mayso the Ti variants are doing the heavy lifting in the near term. For investors, this isn't just a typical product refresh. It's a calculated move to deepen NVIDIA's reach in the high-volume gaming segment, all while demand for AI and inference computing continues to surge. With Blackwell chips already stirring excitement at the high end, the 5060 Ti launch could help shore up revenue in Q2 while setting the stage for a broader hardware refresh cycle. Watch this space closelyNVIDIA's next leg of growth may be more layered than the market's pricing in. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio
