Gamers, there’s still a chance to grab a saving on a first-class graphics card this Black Friday. Here’s the best deals we’ve found so far.
This year’s Black Friday sales have been brilliant for gamers. From a record-breaking £90 off the PS5 to £117 saving on the Steam Deck, all gamers from AAA to indie have been catered for.
Here at RadioTimes.com, we’ve been searching for gaming deals non-stop and have been happy to find major savings across consoles (like the Xbox), VR headsets (like the Meta Quest 3), and bundles (like the Nintendo Switch). The only stone so far left unturned has been graphics cards, but that all changes today.
Black Friday may be over but the deals are not, so we’ve put together this list for the best graphics card deals. We’ve searched through hundreds of products from trusted retailers like Currys, Amazon, and Box.co.uk, and assembled six of the very best offers from brands such as MSI, ASUS and NVIDIA.
We’d admit, however, that most of the savings seem to be on graphics cards that were already more reasonably priced, i.e. £500 or less, so if you want to find a saving on some of the more high-end models, we’d recommend going second hand and looking at Laptops Direct.
Now, let’s fire this thing up and give you the best graphics card deals for this Black Friday.
Of course, graphics cards aren’t just for gaming, so if you’ve come here from a graphic design background you might want to check out the best Apple MacBook Black Friday deals. Or for more savings, take a look at the best Apple iPhone Black Friday deals.

Do I need a graphics card?
Whether or not you need a graphics card entirely depends on what you do with your computer. If you use your laptop or PC just for surfing the internet, answering emails or using standard Microsoft software, then no, you shouldn’t need one.
A graphics card tends to be needed if you’re using demanding software or performing GPU-enhanced tasks like video editing, graphic design, and AI projects. Graphics cards are also commonly used by gamers as they’re responsible for rendering better images and speeding up the image processing time on your computer.
