For more than two years, graphics card prices and availability have been absolutely abyssmal, but with the crypto crash and the release of Nvidia's next generation of graphics cards, our long, frustrating wait for affordable graphics cards has finally come to an end.

Black Friday deals are always a great way to get some upgrades on aging tech, whether it's Black Friday PC deals or Black Friday gaming laptop deals, this time of year has always seen the best prices on these items. Since 2020 though, Black Friday graphics card deals have been pretty much non-existent, but we're finally seeing these prices drop across the board on last-gen cards like the Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti, Nvidia RTX 3070, AMD RX 6950 XT, and many more.

Fortunately, I've been chomping at the bit this year to see the best graphics cards come down in price, so I couldn't be more happy to bring you a round up of the best cheap graphics card deals I've seen this weekend ahead of the main Black Friday event. So if you've been looking to do a new PC build and you've been hoping to score a new GPU for your PC, there has never been a better time then now.
