Deal Alert: The GeForce RTX 4070 GPU Drops to $540 (RTX 3080 Performance for $160 Less)

Amazon has just recently dropped the price of the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card to $539.99, a savings of $60. The RTX 4070 is best for someone who (1) wants to run all of the latest games comfortable in 1080p or 1440p, (2) wants to stay as futureproof as possible with the newest generation GPU, and (3) doesn’t want to spend a crazy sum of money. This card matches the performance of the older $699 RTX 3080 with additional features.

Although now a generation old, the GeForce 3080 was certainly no slouch. It was the first card that could realistically handle 4K gaming (with the right settings). Fast forward to the present day and there are better cards for 4K gaming, but the RTX 3080 can still easily hold its own in any game at 1080p and 1440p. The GeForce RTX 4070 performs almost identically to the RTX 3080 and, at this price, it’s $150 cheaper. The words “NVIDIA” and “value” aren’t really synonymous these days, but the RTX 4070 seems to buck that trend.

In addition to the better performance per dollar compared to the RTX 3080, the RTX 4070 also supports DLSS 3.0, which is DLSS 2.0 plus frame generation. For games that support this can be a pretty signifcant FPS increase over even DLSS 2.0 and that widens the performance gap between the two. More and more games support DLSS 3.0 like Diablo 4 and Hogwarts Legacy.

If you want more power but still want to keep your budget to under $1K, consider this AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX deal for only $930. It’s more powerful than the RTX 4080 and $260 cheaper.
