You can still get an RTX 4080 SUPER for $960 after Prime Day — many more GPU deals still available

Prime Day 2024 is over, but I'm still finding a ton of deals that are still alive. On the GPU front, that's mostly thanks to Newegg's extended Fantastech Sale that's still ongoing today.

I saw far more GPU deals from Newegg, Best Buy, and Amazon than I ever expected during Prime Day 2024. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are usually the go-to events for PC hardware, but with sub-$1,000 RTX 4080 SUPERs and countless other deals, PC gamers should still be able to find what they need.

Prime Day wrapped up last night at 11:59 PM ET, but I've gone through all the deals today, July 18, to see what's still going. The most impressive for enthusiast PC gamers is still the RTX 4080 SUPER deal, but there are lots still live if you want to spend less.

🔥 Today's best GPU deals 🔥

The Zotac Gaming RTX 4080 SUPER AMP dropped $40 more late last night to arrive at $960 on Newegg. That's a $240 discount in all. 

I don't think an RTX 4080 SUPER has ever been cheaper than $950, and that extra $10 might be more disposable than you thought.

How to choose the right GPU

Buying the perfect graphics card for your PC build or upgrade isn't always easy. There are a lot of cards available from different manufacturers and brands, and they range from budget option for 1080p gaming all the way up to monster GPUs for 4K gaming or development tasks.

NVIDIA and AMD are the leading brands in the GPU space, and the cards they create are built by various third-party manufacturers. That's why you'll see different names ahead of, say, "RTX 4060" when shopping around. The cards are essentially the same idea with some small tweaks to design, cooling, etc.

There's not really one graphics card that's best for most people; there are plenty of factors that go into finding the perfect card. 

First, you want to settle on a resolution at which to play. 1080p (FHD) is the baseline for PC gaming, and it's the most affordable way to play. 1440p (QHD) is usually the next stop along the road, and you'll need a more powerful card to push smooth framerates. And 4K is usually the last stop, requiring a more expensive GPU to keep all the extra pixels happy.

Next, you want to be sure that you're buying from a brand that has a positive reputation when it comes to reliability. You also want to be sure that you aren't spending more than your budget allows. The wide range of cards means you should be able to spend within your limit, and that's especially true when events like Prime Day — and all the competing sales from other retailers — come around.

Is it time to upgrade your GPU?

Figuring out which PC parts to upgrade first isn't always easy. You also want to be sure that you aren't creating any bottlenecks along the way, which can result in lost performance from your PC. If you're upgrading your GPU in an older system, you should be prepared to spend elsewhere in an attempt to keep hardware at a similar level.

If your GPU is struggling or outright dying, you probably already know what needs to be done. But when your GPU is still humming along without issue, do you really need to spend again? That will likely come down to how you plan on using your PC. If you're suddenly interested in playing a brand new AAA title with gorgeous graphics after years of low-impact indie titles, your GPU might put up some strong complaints.

In a similar vein, you might need to upgrade your GPU if you're making a screen change to a higher resolution. The jump from 1080p to 1440p (and again to 4K) is significant, and your old GPU that could keep up at 1080p will likely struggle at a higher resolution.

The nice thing about having a working GPU is that you can wait for the right sale on a new piece of hardware. PC building is often a lesson in patience, and that applies to finding and buying new parts as well.

Prime Day 2024 dates and frequently asked questions

Amazon's Prime Day is officially a two-day event at the online giant where thousands of items go on sale. It runs across Amazon in the US, UK, and several other regions.

Prime Day isn't only for Amazon Prime subscribers, but there are certainly some great deals that require a Prime membership. The good news there, if you don't already have a Prime account, is Amazon offers a free 30-day trial after which you can cancel. 

Amazon goes hard on discounts with its first-party Echo and Fire electronics during Prime Day, but there are plenty of other sales on all sorts of brands to check out.

When does Prime Day 2024 end?

Amazon Prime Day runs July 16 and 17 only, which means it has now come to an end. However, there are still plenty of deals available at Amazon and at other retailers that have extended their own sales events.

Will there be another Prime Day?

It's hard to say right now if there will be another Prime Day for sure, but I'm putting my money on a positive answer. Amazon seems to be having a lot of success with Prime Day, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the same sort of event around the same time next year.

Do I need Prime membership for Amazon deals?

Some of the best Prime Day deals are held only for Amazon Prime subscribers. As mentioned, you can get a free 30-day trial during Prime Day and cancel it thereafter without spending money on a subscription. This gets you access to Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Gaming, and more perks.

Amazon Prime: Free 30-day trial

Free exclusive Prime Day discounts for new members and cancel anytime. After the trial, it's $14.99/month plus tax. Includes Prime Gaming, Prime Video, and Prime Music access.

Is Amazon Prime Day worth it?

Amazon Prime Day is often a time when prices hit a new low, but that's certainly not the case for all sales. There's a tendency for prices to climb in the weeks and days leading into Prime Day, only to make the savings seem better than they really are. 

That's not exclusive to Amazon, but it's definitely something to watch for. We're always keeping an eye on top deals at Windows Central all year round, and we can usually spot fakes right away.

If you'd like to do some pricing history of your own, which we always recommend, the camelcamelcamel tool is invaluable for anything listed at Amazon. It shows a clear history of product pricing, and all you need to do is drop the Amazon link into the search field.

Do competitors offer better alternatives?

Prime Day is Amazon's event, but most of Amazon's competition hosts coinciding sales events. In fact, we've often found the best prices on PCs, laptops, PC components, and laptop accessories at competing retailers while Prime Day is underway.

Looking at this collection of GPU deals ahead of Prime Day, it's clear that Best Buy and Newegg are again not wasting any time discounting hardware. Newegg's FantasTech event is running from July 8 through July 14, and Newegg has price protection already in place on many of its GPUs. Best Buy's Black Friday in July event is also underway, and it wraps up on Wednesday, July 17.

Other retailers also have membership programs akin to Amazon Prime. For example, grabbing a My Best Buy Membership can set you up with free and fast shipping, access to exclusive deals, extended return windows, tech support, repairs, and more. Walmart Plus membership is the same idea, as is Target Circle. Even Costco's membership can save you big money, so it's never a bad idea to check the retailers near you.

As Prime Day approaches, we're keeping an eye on sales at all major retailers to ensure you aren't missing out on anything major.
