When it comes to Prime Day deals, you can't beat a good graphics card discount, especially on current-gen GPUs like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 that might otherwise be prohibitively expensive.

Fortunately, some of the best graphics cards from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia have received some hefty discounts, like the Zotac Gaming RTX 4070 AMP AIRO Spider-Man Edition for just $584.99 at Amazon, a 16% discount, or this PowerColor Fighter RX 6700 XT for just $299.99 at Amazon, a 14% saving on one of the best 1440p graphics cards of the last-generation.

I've pulled together all the best deals I found at the time of writing to help you get the best graphics card you can for a price you can afford. Just don't forget to check out deals on GPU brackets and risers to protect your investment, even if you get one on sale.

The RTX 4080 isn't my favorite card from the current generation, but only because it was terribly priced. With this Prime Day deal, however, you're getting one of the best 4K graphics cards going for a much more reasonable price, something you won't see too often.

ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 4060 Ti OC Edition: was $459.99 now $414.99 at Amazon
The RTX 4060 Ti is a bit of a mixed offering from Nvidia. It's definitely a solid graphics card, especially for 1440p gaming, and it does offer advanced features like DLSS 3 and ray tracing that really put it into a league of its own. It's biggest competition, though, is its Team Green siblings, like the RTX 4070, which just offers far better performance. At this price though, this is a much better choice than it would have been otherwise, and you'll get plenty of phenomenal 1440p gaming out of this one.
