Amazon has kicked off its Black Friday week of sales, and amongst them are a range of graphics card deals.

This means that Black Friday deals are once again a great way to upgrade your gaming PC for cheap, after years of stock shortages and inflated prices. 

However, looking through Amazon UK's graphics card offers, I'm going to be honest: some of these 'deals' are pretty poor. Are we really supposed to get excited about £20 off an RTX 3050? Still, there are some pretty great deals hidden amongst the junk, like the powerful Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 WINDFORCE which has been discounted by just under £100, now £1,101.99.

There are a few great budget GPUs on offer as well. Buying a new GPU can be confusing enough, but during Black Friday it can feel even more overwhelming, so to help you out, I've picked the best Amazon Black Friday GPU deals that are worth buying. Make sure you also check out our roundup of the best Amazon Black Friday deals for all sorts of great offers!

There are plenty of other GPU sales at Amazon, but a lot of them are either for similar graphics cards as above, but for more money, or are for outdated tech. While those older cards are perfectly fine, Amazon has cut the price of newer GPUs, making the older cards less good value, especially if they miss out on some of the cool advancements the latest generation of GPUs come with.
