FAQ
When will Black Friday graphics card deals start?
Black Friday will fall on November 28th, 2025. While we do usually see the majority of Black Friday gaming deals hitting the shelves in the week leading up to this big day, the best of the best is reserved for the main event.
Of course, you'll still find numerous discounts popping up from around the end of October that can be considered close to the quality of Black Friday. In fact, we'd argue the week before can be just as good if not better than Black Friday itself for graphics card deals.
Where will the best Black Friday graphics card deals be?
The top retailers usually involved with the best prices in the US include Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, and Walmart. On the other hand, those in the UK will typically will come across some big discounts at Amazon UK, eBuyer, Currys, Laptops Direct, and CCL Computers.

What to expect from Black Friday graphics card deals
Chances are that if you're reading this, you're eagerly awaiting Black Friday graphics card deals. It's easy to lose all hope based on previous sales, and discounts on new-gen GPUs throughout the year are scarce. That said, now that the dust has settled on top-end cards like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, I'm hopeful that RTX 4000 and RX 7000-series models will start to drop to new lows.
Specifically, I'd keep a very close eye out for remaining Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 stock. The card isn't top-tier in terms of performance, but it's a well-rounded option that's primed to drop well under $400 / £400. That is, provided you can find one, as stock is largely being replaced by the GeForce RTX 5070. The good news is that the mid-range GPU has already dropped to $499 this year, thanks to discounts, and I'm expecting that same tag to re-emerge next month.
I also fully believe most players are going to end up with an AMD GPU this Black Friday. The red team is consistently taking the fight to Nvidia on pricing, and options like the Radeon RX 9070 could end up even better value with the right discount. Again, custom model pricing isn't ideal, but you'll find that most of AMD's mid-range options are cheaper than Nvidia equivalents.
If you're hoping to snag an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 this Black Friday for under MSRP, I honestly wouldn't hold your breath. The flagship GPU isn't just for running Steam games in glorious 4K, and it's highly coveted for AI workloads and other shenanigans. Your best bet is to focus on the RTX 5080, but even then, I'm not expecting to see any of these GPUs for under $1,000.
Put it this way, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 is still going for way over $2,000 right now. Yes, the existence of the RTX 5090 would have traditionally helped the last-gen flagship model drop in price, but the GPU scene is a weird place in 2025. My biggest fear is that players are continually being priced out of premium gaming experiences thanks to the ever-growing focus on AI, and even Nvidia's feature sets are focused on delivering performance using Artificial Intelligence rather than graphics card horsepower.
Is that a bad thing? Well, it could prevent any cards that are considered high-end end ever dropping significantly in price during Black Friday. The trend right now seems to be that if you really want those sky-high frame rates that are unassisted by AI, you'll pay top dollar, whereas everyone else will end up choosing a "mid-range" or "entry-level" GPU.
Simply put, times have changed, and you're not going to find a premium GPU for less during Black Friday. Will there be graphics card discounts? Most likely, but you'll be effectively choosing between custom models with price cuts that bring them closer to Nvidia and AMD's MSRP, or if you're lucky, older cards with clearance savings applied.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy a graphics card?
It's been proven time and time again that Black Friday (and the weeks surrounding the sales event) can save you hundreds of dollars on graphics cards. However, this year's even may feature even better savings, as last-gen prices are starting to drop below MSRP following an extended period of inflation.
Does Nvidia do Black Friday?
Nvidia graphics cards usually drop in price on Black Friday, and you might be able to snag deals directly on the GPU giant's storefront. That said, Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart all stock a bunch of the green team's cards, so you'll want to watch all corners of the internet to catch the best deal.
Are GPUs finally getting cheaper?
Graphics card prices are starting to normalise, and inflated prices are less common. However, new-gen cards do feature a higher MSRP than their predecessors, meaning you'll end up paying more if you're looking for the latest models.
Using a blend of our own expertise and reliable price comparison software, we crawl the internet for the latest graphics card deals as soon as they pop up. While some offers might appear to be great on the surface, we're always careful to compare each GPU's discounted price against its official MSRP, as well as similar spec rivals. That way, you can pick up a new graphics card knowing its a proper deal rather than an inflated price simply returning to normal.
While searching for deals, we always keep a look out for graphics cards at every price point, rather than just premium GPUs with deep discounts. That's incredibly important to us, as we want to ensure every player can find a great bargain for their PC regardless of their budget.
