Building a PC from scratch can be a lot of fun, and with these Cyber Week deals, it’s a perfect time for you to pick up hardware. One of the most fun bits of any build is picking the parts, and for that, graphics cards are probably the most fun to pick between. That said, GPUs also tend to be the most expensive pieces of hardware that go into a desktop, especially if you’re trying to aim for something in the mid-to-high-end range that can easily reach $500 or even $1,000. Since Cyber Monday is over, we’ve gone out and collected some of our favorite Cyber Week GPU deals for you below.
Besides these great Cyber Week deals, you may want also to check out these Cyber Week gaming laptop deals and Cyber Week gaming PC deals if you’d rather go with a pre-built system.
This RTX 3060 is a great starter card for those who want to be on a budget and will handle most slightly older games pretty well at 1080p and 60Hz, potentially up to 100. It may struggle a bit with newer titles without compromises, but that’s fine, given the reduced $280 price point.
If you’re interested in 2K gaming, then this RX6800 is a good entry-level option, and much like the RTX 3060, it may struggle a little with newer titles but should handle older titles just fine. It also has a massive 16GB of RAM, making it a lot more future-proof, all for just $350 instead of the usual $430.
The RX 7900XT is the second highest-end card from AMD and is probably the cheapest way you’re going to get true 4K performance out of a GPU, especially at $670 instead of the usual $750. Granted, it won’t compete or match the RTX 4090, but it comes as close as you can at nearly half the price.
The 7900XTX is the best card from AMD, and if you’re planning to build the best AMD setup you can, then this is the card to go for. Luckily, it has a pretty reasonable $170 discount that knocked it down to $830, and while that’s still a bit pricey, it’s very much worth it.
While this Zotax RTX 4060 doesn’t have as much cooling, it’s a bit more powerful than the RTX 3060; plus, it’s a lot smaller, so it can fit more cases, and with the $23 discount, it’s well worth picking up. Plus, you get access to the newest DLS 3.0 that is exclusive to the RTX 40-series.
If you feel that maybe the RTX 4080 Super is pricey and overkill but still want something more powerful than the RTX 4070, this RTX 4070 Super from Asus is really the way to go, especially with this $40 discount. When we got our hands on it, we felt that ” [the] GPU that not only reaffirms Nvidia’s position at the top of this price bracket but also calls into question the other GPUs Nvidia has released this generation.”
When it comes to picking a GPU, the thing you’re really looking at is high-end performance and upscaling. Both Nvidia and AMD have upscalers in the form of DLSS and FSR, with Nvidia’s DLSS being a bit more advanced and mature. That said, FSR has been catching up recently, and more importantly, not all games out there use this tech, so if you don’t run any of them, then it’s not really worth worrying over which of the two to pick. If you’re still not sure, you should absolutely take a look at our breakdown between FSR vs. DLSS.
As for performance, if you’re truly looking for the best in terms of pure power, then there’s nothing that can beat the RTX 4090 on the market. That said, the RTX 4090 is very, very expensive, and it may not be worth it if you don’t plan to run 4K at around 100FPS, which also brings its own costs since gaming monitors that can handle that are very expensive too. On the other hand, AMD offers very strong performance in the low-to-mid range for a significantly lower price than Nvidia, so if you don’t care about DLSS, then AMD is usually the way to go at those tiers.
Because the market is mostly dominated by AMD and Nvidia, and there is a pretty solid understanding of where each card lies in terms of performance, the majority of the work is trying to find the best deal from various brands. After all, everybody from Gigabyte to MSI makes their own versions of these GPUs with minor variations here and there. So, ultimately, we rely on our experience as reviewers and deal hunters to not only find you the deals that will offer you the best bang for your buck but also to give you a great selection of cards for you to pick from.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
