Walmart has launched a huge Nvidia Gaming Week sale with excellent discounts on everything from graphics cards to laptops – including some fantastic options if you're on a strict budget.
Right now, for example, you can get a gaming laptop for as little as $599 (was $1,049) at the retailer. The machine in question here is an entry-level HP Victus, which comes with an RTX 4050, 16GB of RAM, plus a 13th-gen Intel Core i5 chipset
These are great specs for the price if you're just starting out. While this particular machine won't win any awards for performance, you can still play a huge number of titles (especially older ones) smoothly at 1080p.
Another great option today is the Acer Nitro V for $699 (was $999) at Walmart. This particular machine is another budget gaming laptop, but you get a combination of an RTX 5050 graphics card and an AMD Ryzen 5 240 chipset – both brand-new components.
That should give you a small but significant performance boost in-game, as the RTX 5000 series cards have better support for new features like Multi-Frame Generation. For just under $700, this one offers great bang for the buck.

You can check out our Acer Nitro V review and HP Victus 16 review pages if you want to get a better picture of what you're getting with these machines. Bear in mind that the configurations we tested are slightly different from those featured today at Walmart, so performance figures may differ slightly.
With that said, both these laptops are excellent budget gaming machines if you're willing to tweak a few settings here and there. Even an RTX 4050 can play games relatively smoothly at 60FPS if you turn off advanced settings like Ray Tracing. If you're a gamer who prefers older games or esports titles, then the RTX 4050 is a fantastic place to start.
