The RTX 4070 Super is one of the best graphics cards you can buy, and it has a price to match, with most models going for $600 on Amazon. However, one lucky Redditor scored a model for just $49. No, it wasn’t some steep sale, and most people would see a price like that and assume it’s a scam. But sure enough, two days after finding a Gigabyte RTX 4070 Super Gaming OC for $48.94 on Amazon, the card showed up in the mail. You should absolutely assume that a price that’s too good to be true is a scam on Amazon. We’ve seen just this year how scammers can infiltrate the third-party listings on Amazon to sell fake graphics cards, but this listing for the RTX 4070 Super was different. It was sold and shipped by Amazon Canada and there was only one card in stock, suggesting it was either mismarked or someone seriously needed some extra warehouse space. The Reddit poster, u/Vincenz_OB, says that they confirmed the card is recognized as an RTX 4070 Super in Windows, and that it’s absolutely crushing the performance of their previous RTX 3060 — not a surprise given the performance we saw in our RTX 4070 Super review. Nvidia may offer the RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4090 above $1,000, but for most gamers, the RTX 4070 Super remains the go-to option for a high-end gaming PC that isn’t egregiously expensive. In the U.S., the Gaming OC model from Gigabyte is listed at $630, and it’s sold out on Amazon Canada. Some commenters say that the price shifted from the 93% off the original poster saw to 6% off before going out of stock, suggesting that the discount was flipped before the listing went live. Although it’s easy to get green with envy over such a great deal on a GPU, that doesn’t mean you should immediately buy any graphics card that has a good price on Amazon. Scams are still abundant, especially among third-party GPU sellers on Amazon, so make sure to do your due diligence before buying a new graphics card. If you happen to spot a glitch for a product shipped and sold by Amazon, though, there might be some value to rolling the dice — at least if this deal is anything to go by. Although Nvidia has already established the flagship RTX 5090 as one of the best graphics cards you can buy, most PC gamers are eagerly waiting for Team Green’s more budget-conscious offerings. According to a new rumor, Nvidia’s RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti will ditch the 16-pin power connector that Nvidia has used for the past few generations in favor of a standard 8-pin power connector. The rumor comes from Brother Pan Talks Computers, a Chinese media outlet that VideoCardz reports has ties to Zotac. Nvidia has yet to announce the RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti, but they’ll be some of the most important entries in Nvidia’s latest RTX 50-series lineup. Traditionally, Nvidia’s 60-class graphics cards are among the most popular GPUs on the market, and last-gen’s RTX 4060 still tops the charts in the Steam hardware survey. Nvidia is launching its RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards today — read our RTX 5090 review and RTX 5080 review — and the anticipation is clear. In Japan, multiple stores held a lottery to give attendees an equal chance at scoring one of Nvidia’s best graphics cards, but the event ended in chaos, with screaming and the destruction of a sign at a kindergarten, according to VideoCardz. The report of chaos came via X, where a user shared that “angry shouts were heard” as customers began lining up, and that “some people even climbed over the fence of the kindergarten next door.” The RTX 5080 arrived with a bit of a thud. As you can read in my RTX 5080 review, the card probably won’t be making among the best graphics cards any time soon. It falls short of Nvidia’s last-gen flagship, and in the vast majority of games, it doesn’t even crack a 20% lead over the RTX 4080 Super. It’s not the only GPU in town, though. Although AMD is sitting out the flagship battle this generation, there are still some excellent last-gen options to keep in mind. Here are three alternatives to the RTX 5080 and why you should consider picking them up over Nvidia’s latest.
