Black Friday saw NVIDIA's flagship RTX 5080 GPU — aka the card that every gamer wants — fall to a far more reasonable price than usual. It was so popular that a few models sold out, but thankfully, Cyber Monday has added some new discounts on the monster 4K card.

There's the MSI INSPIRE RTX 5080 model on sale for $1,069, perfect for those who prefer a sleek design for a more mature build. MSI and Gigabyte cards have now hit new lows, giving you more options for your PC upgrade.

Everyone wants an RTX 5080 — that's no secret. NVIDIA's flagship GPU is the perfect option for any 4K gamers who don't want to pay obscene amounts for the RTX 5090. Not gaming at 4K? The RTX 5080 is going to absolutely crush 1440p, especially if you have a monitor with a high refresh rate.

These GPUs all come with the "OC" designation, which means that they're overclocked to provide better performance than the reference cards that NVIDIA produced.

These GPUs all have 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM, setting you up nicely for the future as games become more demanding. And because they're all built on NVIDIA's latest Blackwell architecture, you get full access to all of the latest DLSS 4 features, including Multi Frame Generation (MFG).

I admit I was skeptical about MFG and its use of AI to multiply frame rates, but once I tested it in DOOM: The Dark Ages using an RTX 5070 Ti, I quickly became a believer. The RTX 5080 is only going to make that experience better.

The RTX 5080 isn't just for gaming, either. It's powerful enough to easily cut through AI, video, rendering, and other professional workloads, giving you the best of both worlds in one GPU.

Keep in mind that GPU prices are expected to skyrocket once again due to the impending memory shortage caused by the AI datacenter buildout, giving you just another reason to cash in on these great Cyber Monday deals.


Looking for a GPU that doesn't cost nearly as much as the RTX 5080? I have a separate roundup that includes many more Cyber Monday GPU deals from NVIDIA and AMD, but I've also added some additional options to check out right here.

This isn't a massive discount, but it pushed the price down to $279, which is $20 below NVIDIA's set MSRP. The RTX 5060 is a great option for 1080p and dabbling in 1440p, and the dual-fan model from PNY will fit into more builds.

MSI Shadow 2X OC RTX 5070
12GB VRAM
Save 18% ($103)

This is the best deal I've seen on an RTX 5070 so far during Black Friday or Cyber Monday. At $70 below MSRP, this is worth considering for anyone who wants to game at 1440p.
