Both AMD 9070 XT and Nvidia RTX 5070 are great deals before Black Friday 2025

Now is a great time to pick up some desktop graphics cards, as both the AMD RX 9070 XT and the Nvidia RTX 5070 are really good deals. They are perfect for 1440p and some light 4K gaming.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are close, which means there is a chance that the price of tech products, including desktop GPUs, could drop. However, you may not have to wait, as currently both AMD and Nvidia are offering some really good discounts on their cards.

The MSI BLACK Ventus 2X OC RTX 5070, for example, is still on sale for just $480, making it an absolutely fantastic purchase. The 5070 is a really good option for 1440p gaming even at ultra settings. The 12GB VRAM can also suffice in most situations. You can find more details and the purchase link in this dedicated article.

If however you want more VRAM, higher rasterization abilities, and equivalent ray tracing capabilities, then AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT is another great purchase too. Currently the ASRock Challenger model is at MSRP, making it a very good buy (purchase link under the specs table down below).

For cooling, the ASRock Challenger uses standard triple-fan cooling for good airflow and for quieter operation when you’re not pushing it and has a 0dB “spin down” mode that stops the fans entirely. ASRock adds a nickel-plated copper base and "ultra-fit" heatpipes to maximize contact with the GPU so that heat can move away more efficiently.

The card also packs a metal backplate to improve the GPU strength, while the thermal pads it houses underneath should add to the thermal efficiency. The technical specifications of the ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 XT are given in the table below:
