Rare Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti Black Friday deal lets you upgrade your PC for less than a PS5
Upgrade your PC for less than a PS5
If you've been hankering to upgrade your gaming PC, then we've found the Black Friday deal for you, with retailer Box cutting the price of the MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU to just £479.99 – down from almost £800. (Not in the UK? Don't worry, we have RTX 3060 Ti deals in the US and other locations below.)
It's not the only RTX 3080 Ti deal either from Box. There's the Palit GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Dual 8GB for £445.87, down from £658.41.
The cheapest one we've found is the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Windforce OC for £429.99.
All these models offer similar levels of performance, with 8GB of video memory, and will allow you to play modern games at 1080p with medium to high settings. Even better, the RTX 3060 Ti can make use of Nvidia's clever DLSS feature, which boosts performance, allowing you to run games at high graphical settings, and with advanced effects like ray tracing. This means it's a very affordable way to upgrade your gaming PC – and, even better, it costs less than buying a PS5.

The Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti have long been our favorite graphics card thanks to its near perfect balance of price and performance, but third-party cards have usually been much more expensive than Nvidia's MSRP. However, thanks to this Amazon price cut, this a graphics card deal too good to pass up.

That includes a growing number of PlayStation games that are now available on PC. The fact that this GPU is now cheaper than a PlayStation 5, it makes more financial sense to invest in this graphics card instead – as long as you have a PC already.
