The GPU price hikes are upon us. The RAM pricing crisis will see costs skyrocket for phones, tablets, laptops and, most importantly for PC gamers, graphics cards. But not just yet, as there's still savings to be made on the latest from Nvidia, AMD and Intel.

To think GPU prices will be higher than what they've already been, with surges on Team Green and Team Red's cards going well past their official pricing, is nearly laughable. But AMD and Nvidia are already signaling price hikes for their GPUs, thanks to RAM and SSDs looking to be a premium, and this could be by at least 10%.

Hey, AMD deserves a bit of a bone. Nvidia may dominate the GPU market, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t throw some love on Team Red. With a 2460MHz clock speed and 16GB of VRAM, AMD’s top-of-the-line GPU can easily outperform either the PS5 or Xbox Series X. If you don’t need 5090/5080 speeds, the RX 970 is well worth looking at.

MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
Lowest price!
Save $70

This upper-midrange option is my current top-rated graphics card for its stellar 1440p and 4K gaming performance and zippy speeds in creative pro workloads and AI. It's a small but important dip beneath that $749 MSRP. Make sure you use the rebate to get that discount!
