Whether you’re sussing out a new PC build or looking to upgrade your current setup, a good graphics card goes a long way. GPUs are integral in that they allow your PC to process graphics, render video, and work in tandem with the CPU to make sure everything runs smoothly.
And while GPUs aren’t as costly as they were during lockdown, they’re still an expensive piece of hardware. If you’re looking for a cheap graphics card, getting one on sale is your best bet.
Mwave is currently running a sale on a range of AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce GPUs, so it’s time to take out that mini screwdriver and get upgrading. Here are our picks from Mwave’s GPU sale.

What kind of graphics card should you buy?
It really comes down to your display and what resolution you want to (or can) play games at. For this, we’re looking at 1080p, 1440p, or 4K. You don’t want to buy a graphics card that doesn’t match up with your monitor’s resolution, otherwise all that power (and money) will be going to waste.
It’s also important to note your monitor’s refresh rate. If you have a 4K monitor, then you’ll want to be able to enjoy it by also getting a graphics card that can keep up with it. If your monitor’s refresh rate is 60Hz, then you’re better off with a less powerful graphics card that runs at an FPS rate to match.
