Black Friday is now in force and it sees multiple gaming-centric deals for PC gamers looking to secure the latest tech for less. A key component of any gaming PC happens to be the GPU which also sadly happens to have moved significantly higher in cost over time thanks to strong commercial demand stemming from AI research even as newer variants house significantly larger cores along with faster, higher clocked memory and cooling solutions to boot.
Many GPUs are enjoying some of their first major price cuts even as demand holds steady with many more premium variants of Nvidia’s RTX 4000 and AMD’s RX 7000 series GPUs now on sale at prices that are close to and often outright beating the entry-level or Founder’s Edition SKUs outright. However, not all deals are similar in terms of discounts, value for money, and price-to-performance ratios. That is why finding the right balance helps and the team at Game Rant is here to help!
How Were These GPU Deals Chosen?
The GPU deals are picked as the best on offer for Black Friday when one considers a variety of factors including raw rasterization performance, age, and memory capacity. Prices are checked to determine if deals on GPUs are worth getting using price-to-performance ratios, support for newer tech, and VRAM considerations, especially at the high-performance end of the GPU spectrum.
Note: While rasterization performance is a good indicator of a GPU’s capabilities, thanks to newer tech such as DLSS and FSR in play and their penchant for requiring newer, custom-built GPUs with support for Ray Tracing and acceleration for AI sharpening solutions, newer AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs do have an edge over their predecessors. This is reflected in the choices made below.

Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition 8GB Graphics Card
$200 $217 Save $17
The Intel Arc A750 is a dual-slot GPU that aims to cater to the entry-level/mid-range GPU market audience as it offers excellent performance coupled with a price that makes it compete with AMD and Nvidia’s lower-end offerings.
While most of the highest-tier Nvidia and AMD GPUs have not significantly moved in pricing for Black Friday due to strong commercial demand, there are plenty of holiday sales on offer for their mid-range offerings. This is also an area where Intel currently offers its very respectable Arc GPU offerings which currently significantly outperform the competition when it comes to performance per dollar.
With AMD’s older RX 6000 GPU lineup aging like fine wine, it also sees multiple price cuts across the board, making it yet again, a significantly better value play than even AMD’s current-gen GPUs in some cases. Users opting for AMD’s latest RX 7000 series GPUs can find some AIB models on sale however with the RX 7900XTX notably available at sub $900 price levels despite trading blows with considerably more expensive RTX 4080 GPUs.
On Nvidia’s front, while MSRP generally holds for the RTX 4070TI, it has been allowed to dip down for the RTX 4060TI and RTX 4070, the latter of which can be found at sub $500 price levels with Tri-Fan units at just under $550 at multiple retailers for Black Friday.

$1130 $1300 Save $170
Zotac’s take on the RTX 4080 in the form of the Trinity OC SKU is (relatively) reasonably priced, runs cool, and overclocks well; all these features make it a top contender for our best high-end RTX 4080 SKU even as its limited factory boost clocks make it look like a much tamer GPU than it is.

It boasts higher clock speeds than the Founders Edition card at 2490 MHz. It has the same 5888 Cuda cores and 12 GB GDDR6 VRAM on a 192-bit memory bus.
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 WINDFORCE OC 12G is powered by a single 8-pin connector and the company recommends a 650W PSU for this card.
Most of the highest-end Nvidia RTX 4080 and 4090 GPUs are missing from Black Friday deals primarily due to high sustained demand from AI companies. Because of this, the latter is back-ordered, and limited stock of the former is available; this makes users looking for a deal on Nvidia’s fastest GPU unable to get much in terms of options. One major deal however that is available is the Zotac RTX 4080 Trinity OC which trades at a respectable $170 discount over MSRP.
Most of Nvidia’s deals are concentrated in the mid to high-end Ada Lovelace-based GPUs including the RTX 4060, 4060TI, 4070, and the RTX 4070TI which see significant discounts pop up in time for Black Friday. For users on a more stringent budget, the Nvidia RTX 3060 SKU from Zotac also happens to be at a historic low at just under $270 for a high VRAM mid-range GPU that is still very relevant in terms of price and performance at its particular tier.
Note: Nvidia’s RTX 4070, 4070TI, 4080, and 4090 GPUs also receive a free copy of Alan Wake 2 as part of the GeForce rewards program at participating retailers.

MSI Mech Radeon RX 6750 XT
$322 $360 Save $38
Buyers who want to save on space but maximize performance will want to pick up the MSI Mech Radeon RX 6750 XT. This small form factor card tends to match the RTX 3070 in terms of FPS, all while coming in at a much easier-to-swallow price. This little guy does run hot, however, so make sure the PC case has adequate airflow.
For users looking at AMD GPUs, the RX 7900XTX happens to be on sale at a small discount. It offers the same amount of VRAM as the RTX 4090 while performance in play is similar to the RTX 4080, making it arguably the best value purchase in the enthusiast tier GPU segment. Intel’s already well-priced Arc GPUs offer significant discounts for Black Friday.
AMD’s last generation RX 6000 series GPUs have a more extensive Black Friday presence with better discounts and better value for money as retailers aim to clear existing inventory, making for some of the best bargains to be had for graphic cards that can still run most titles at extremely high frame rates despite falling short slightly in the Ray Tracing performance segment.
Note: AMD’s RX 7000 series GPUs also come with a complimentary copy of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora courtesy of AMD Rewards. Intel’s Arc GPUs on the other hand come with a free standard edition copy of Assassin’s Creed® Mirage.
