Good GPU deal: the RTX 5060 drops below €300 this summer
In a market where graphics cards keep rising in price due to soaring memory costs, every genuine deal is worth a look. The good news: as part of the Nvidia Summer Deals, the MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8GB VENTUS 2X OC is listed at €299.99 instead of €344.99, a discount of approximately 13%. It is one of the rare recent opportunities to pick up a current-generation GPU for under the symbolic €300 mark.
Why this RTX 5060 deal is worth it
The RTX 5060 is currently one of the most relevant choices for 1080p gaming, and it holds its own very well at 1440p on most recent titles thanks to DLSS 4 and frame generation. With its 8GB of GDDR7, it offers significantly higher memory bandwidth than the previous generation.
The context makes this offer all the more interesting: AMD just announced an increase of approximately 10% on its Radeon GPU kits starting in July, and Nvidia is also under pressure from the cost of GDDR7. In other words, graphics card prices are more likely to rise than fall in the coming months.

An AMD alternative also on sale
If your budget is larger and you are aiming for native 1440p without compromise, the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 16GB has been spotted at €599.99 instead of €674.99 (-11%). Its 16GB of VRAM makes it more reliable for memory-intensive games and very high-quality textures.

Should you buy now or wait?
Given the current tension regarding memory (GDDR6, GDDR7, and DRAM are all being driven upward by demand from AI data centers), waiting for a general drop in GPU prices in 2026 seems optimistic. If you were planning a purchase or an upgrade, an RTX 5060 under €300 is a solid entry point.
Just keep the usual deal rules in mind: compare the price across several retailers, verify that it is indeed the exact model advertised, and be wary of discounts calculated based on inflated strike-through prices.
The simplest option: a complete PC already equipped
