Most Cyber Monday deals conclude at the end of the day, but I'm already seeing some of the best GPU deals disappear. That's not ideal if you've been waiting for one last price drop on the GPU you want to put into your gaming rig.

The good news is that there are three graphics cards easy to recommend still on sale. I'm not talking about the $1,000+ deals on the RTX 5080 or the so-so deals on older hardware. I'm talking about hot discounts on NVIDIA and AMD's latest models with access to the latest upscaling techniques.

Update December 1, 2:15 PM ET: Cyber Monday GPU deals are starting to sell out, but I found the three best discounts still available for the second half of Cyber Monday. — Cale Hunt

MSI Shadow 2X OC RTX 5070
12GB VRAM
Save 14% ($83)

This GPU was available for $479.99 when Newegg had an extra $20 mail-in rebate, but that seems to have dried up. Nevertheless, $50 below MSRP for an RTX 5070 is an awesome deal for 1440p gamers.

It seems crazy, but landing an AMD GPU at MSRP is the big deal here, especially with AMD threatening to raise its prices. The 9070 XT is a great card for 1440p and 4K gaming, and its 16GB of VRAM is enough for the future.

The ASUS TUF Gaming version of the RTX 5070 Ti is still $100 above MSRP, but that's for a good reason. This version has OC'd clocks, it's built strong, and it has great cooling. This is the GPU I have in my PC — no regrets, and it'll handle 1440p or 4K.

The GPU market is about to get crazy again in 2026, making now the perfect time to buy

The GPU market is only now just settling down to the point where buying a new card at or below MSRP isn't a complete fantasy, but here comes the next crisis threatening to once again drive prices way up.

I'm talking about the current memory shortages driven by the frantic buildout of AI datacenters. So far, it's mainly affecting consumer RAM and storage prices, but AMD has stated that its Radeon GPU prices could increase by at least 10%.

NVIDIA hasn't made any similar public statements, but it's hard to imagine it won't also feel the memory crunch. That makes Cyber Monday a crucial time to pick up a new GPU before prices skyrocket again.

Don't get me wrong — the three cards I'm highlighting here aren't exactly affordable, but that's the reality of PC gaming these days. The best you can hope for is a decent discount, which is exactly why I'm focusing on these specific RTX 5070, RX 9070 XT, and RTX 5070 Ti models.

So, which one is better for you? That depends on any standing allegiances to brands and what else you have in your PC. If you're an AMD stan, clearly the RX 9070 XT is the better choice.

The RX 9070 XT is also going to deliver superior performance at 1440p and especially 4K compared to the RTX 5070. It has more VRAM to better set you up for the future of gaming, and AMD's FSR 4 upscaling tech keeps getting better.

On the other hand, the NVIDIA RTX 5070 with 12GB of VRAM is $50 below MSRP and can deliver a stellar experience at 1440p with a bit of dabbling in 4K. NVIDIA's DLSS 4 tech is still superior to FSR 4, so if you're a fan of ray tracing and don't mind adding some "fake" frames, the result can be close to magic.

If you're interested in a more "future-proof" card with higher performance and more VRAM, I can't help but recommend the ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti. It's the GPU I have in my gaming PC, and I can't recommend it enough.
