The bad news is that the vast majority of Prime Day GPU “deals” still reach above the respective card’s original retail price. The good news is that I’ve found a small handful of offers that are, if nothing else, good value by the incredibly whacked-out standards of the past two years. First up, there are a couple of Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 series cards worth considering in the UK, including an MSI-made RTX 3070 (that Ebuyer have price matched). Sticking with RTX cards, which can run both DLSS and DLAA, GameStop have a reasonable RTX 3060 deal for US buyers.

As for AMD’s Radeon series, the 1440p-minded Radeon RX 6700 XT gets deals on both sides of the pond. Ebuyer’s UK-only offer on the RX 6600 is also one of the few times you’ll see a current-gen GPU below £300.

That said, if you just want to minimise spending, the RTX 2060 is strangely popular among Prime Day sellers in the UK. There’s a good chance it will be two generations old by the end of 2022, but it holds up fairly well as a 1080p and 1440p engine.
