RTX 5070 drops to $480 as Intel Arc B580 hits $235 in early Black Friday GPU deals
NVIDIA and Intel board partners have both entered the early Black Friday race with sharp desktop GPU discounts. The GeForce RTX 5070 12GB has dropped to $479.99 at Newegg, well below its $549 MSRP and even below many RTX 4070 Super listings. At the same time, Intel’s Arc B580 12GB has fallen to $234.99 at B&H Photo, pushing 12 GB cards into the sub-$250 bracket for 1080p and entry 1440p gaming.

The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12GB VENTUS 2X OC BLACK is one of the newer cards we recently covered in this post . It comes with 6144 CUDA cores, a 2542 MHz boost clock and 12GB of GDDR7 memory, making it a strong fit for high refresh 1440p gaming with DLSS 4 frame generation on top.
Acer Arc B580 Nitro OC also offers 12 GB of memory and targets 1080p and lighter 1440p workloads, backed by Intel’s latest XeSS 3 upscaling with multi frame generation and updated drivers that improve CPU overhead. Both cards sit well below launch pricing, so they cover two clear price tiers for current-gen 12GB GPUs.
With both RTX 50 series and Battlemage cards now dipping well under MSRP, price pressure in the mid range is starting to build. If these early offers are any indication, more 12 GB and 16 GB models from Nvidia, AMD and Intel should see deeper cuts as Black Friday and Cyber Monday draw closer.
