Graphics card sale for holidays?

[typosl1998]

I'm new and plan on building a pc really soon and I was wondering is nvidia or amd usually cut prices a bit during the upcoming holidays? Because I don't want to go buy a card then find out they drop the prices for the same card 10-25 dollars for the holidays. Thank you for any responses

I've been wondering the same thing... dunno how computer shopping fares during black friday, might be able to snag some deals then?

Yeah i'm not sure how the market is for pc components during those times. So I was just like " well I could buy everything now but WHAT IF it comes around that time and I find out I could have saved like 50 dollars total on my build and just feel stupid lol

Black Friday/Cyber Monday:
An advertising term for the period of 1 Nov - 15 Jan. Used to fob off last years stuff that didn't sell, in an effort to drag you into the store or website.

It is unlikely you will find any new parts at any reasonable discount.

To get the parts you want, you have to watch the notifications daily, sometimes hourly.

I've purchased the exact same part for cheaper in July vs BF/CM.

Okay so my only last probably dumb question lol is you said watch notifications through those times, did you mean on here? Or where exactly would be the "main stream" place to look out for?

Newegg/Amazon/Microcenter websites.
Or your preferred website to buy from.

There are other BF aggregator sites, but those will show a bit of everything, not PC parts only.

The prices for the 1070 and 1080 will probably drop pretty hard when the 1080 ti comes out, but until them I don't see any of the cards getting much cheaper. Black Friday is usually a good time to get CPUs and other stuff if you live near a micro center. By watch notifications he means put stuff that you want in an amazon/newegg cart and let them send you emails when they go on sale. I'd just build now tbh, is it really worth waiting a month to save 2-3%?

Right. You get caught up in watching too much.

"Ooohhh..it went down 5% today. Maybe it will go down another 5% tomorrow!"
hahaha...fooled you. It went up by 8%. You missed it.
