Best Black Friday graphics card deals from Digital Foundry 2019

Here are the best Black Friday deals we've found on a range of popular graphics cards, from budget options ideal for 1080p gaming all the way up to expensive cards designed for high refresh rate monitors, 4K resolutions or both. This is actually a great time to upgrade your PC or build a new one, as we're seeing best-ever prices on a number of popular options like the RX 580, GTX 1660 Super and RTX 2070 Super.

Note that for each card, we've listed its approximate performance at 1440p compared to the best consumer graphics card on the market, the RTX 2080 Ti, in terms of a percentage. For example, the GTX 1050 Ti, the cheapest card we've featured today, gets frame-rates that are only 22 per cent of those than a RTX 2080 Ti, while the Radeon RX 5700 XT manages frame-rates that are 71 per cent of a RTX 2080 Ti, so we list them as [22%] and [71%], respectively.

This gives you an idea of which cards are faster in general based on our testing of each GPU in nine games at 1440p. (You can read more about each graphics card and how we came up with these figures in the full GPU power ladder article.) Note as well that different variants aren't taken into account, so expect faster and/or cooler performance from models with bigger heatsinks and faster stock clocks. Right, with that out of the way, let's take a quick look at the power ladder in graphical form and then get onto the deals!
