Britain does it best with the Prime Day GPU deals and here are the top five graphics cards with the biggest discounts under MSRP
We live in some strange times, that’s for sure. I can’t recall the last time that it was like this, even if it ever was, but in the Prime Day sales, all bar one of the current generation of graphics cards can be found at under their MSRP. Across the pond, our US chums have it almost entirely the other way around.

While not every discount is huge, of course, I’ve found five GPU deals that boast a pretty decent MSRP undercut. So without further ado, let’s take a butchers at what’s on offer, in ascending order of the relative size of the price drop.

GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (MSRP = £729)
Kicking off with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, it’s only a 10% drop relative to the original MSRP, but in terms of raw cash, you’re getting a really good saving here. The fact that it’s not too far off an RTX 5080 in terms of gaming performance is the cherry on top of a very tasty cake.
The 5070 Ti overclocks easily and very well, so with a bit of tweaking and patience, you can get even more pop for your pounds. I know spending £650 on a mid-range card is a bitter pill to swallow, but I can’t see its price falling much further, if at all, in the Prime Day sales.
But if you’re happy to pay for one, I can guarantee that you won’t have any complaints about how fast the RTX 5070 Ti is. Throw in a spot of DLSS 4 upscaling and frame generation, in games that support it, and you’ll just what the fuss is all about.
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB (MSRP = £349)
Fairing a little better with regards to how much this deal undercuts the MSRP (11%), you have this RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB card to peruse. I know what some of you are thinking right now, and it’s along the lines of ‘No 8 GB VRAM graphics should cost this much.’
The thing is, the 8 GB RTX 5060 is only £40 cheaper, so if you’re using a much older GPU and you’re hunting for something to replace it with, then the 5060 Ti is worth considering.
Unlike the 5070 Ti, this graphics card might drop further in price, especially if sales of 8 GB cards continue to be sluggish. As with all RTX 50-series cards, DLSS 4 is its saving grace, but if that’s not enough for you, and you must have more VRAM, then the 16 GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti is currently £380 at Overclockers. But ask yourself this: Is it worth spending £70 more just for the extra memory?
GeForce RTX 5070 (MSRP = £539)
We’re still at an 11% MSRP undercut with this GeForce RTX 5070 deal, but the overall price makes it a very tempting offer. That’s because the £539 MSRP is by far the GPU’s biggest problem. Sure, it’s not a big step up from the RTX 4070 Super, but if you’re upgrading from an older GPU, the 5070 has a lot to offer.
Things really pick up once you enable DLSS 4, of course. The upscaling part of the AI tech package isn’t any faster than that in DLSS 3, but its multi-frame generation system is borderline magic. Screenshots and videos do a poor job at reflecting just how much better it is than the first iteration of Nvidia’s frame gen.
Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB (MSRP = £270 )
Stomping in with a very nice 16% MSRP undercut is this Radeon RX 9060 XT. Yes, I know it’s the 8 GB version and not the 16 GB that everybody wants, but the lowest price that card has right now is £300 at Overclockers. It’s the same dilemma as with the RTX 5060 Ti: Is it worth paying £72 more, just for the extra VRAM?
Besides, just look at how cheap this 9060 XT is. £228 for a card that has the competition beat on raw performance is a genuine deal. You do need to be an Amazon Prime member to bag this card, though. But if you just want the card and nothing else, just sign up for the free 30-day trial and then cancel your membership before it runs out.
Arc B570 (MSRP = £219)
Beating all of the above and every other current-gen GPU is Intel’s Arc B570 graphics card. Well, it doesn’t beat them on performance, but hoo boy, does it slap in terms of price. At £180, it’s a very respectable 18% under its original MSRP.
Naturally, a Radeon RX 9060 XT will kick it around your gaming den with its raw shading power, and a GeForce RTX 5060 will wave its superior upscaling and frame generation tech in the Arc’s face. But those cards are around £100 more expensive than the little B570. Oh, and they have less VRAM as well.
Intel’s GPU drivers need a reasonable CPU behind them, and they can be somewhat twitchy, but when things are all aligned and working properly, you’re looking at RTX 4060-like performance. Yes, that’s a last-gen budget GPU, but try finding one of those new for £180.
