Black Friday GPU Deals UK 2026: What to Expect
Black Friday lands on 27 November 2026. Here's what UK graphics card deals typically look like, plus buying tips so you can judge a genuine drop from a re-tagged price.
Black Friday is the UK's biggest retail sale of the year, and graphics cards are one of the categories that moves the most. This page is where we'll track genuine GPU price drops once the event opens: for now, here's what to expect and how to judge a real deal from a re-tagged one.
When is Black Friday 2026?
Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November 2026 in the UK, with most retailers running deals across the preceding week and into the following Cyber Monday. Amazon UK, Currys, Scan and Overclockers all typically extend GPU offers across that window rather than confining them to the single day.
What this page will track
Once the sale window opens, this page will list live UK graphics card prices alongside price-history context, so you can see whether a "deal" badge reflects an actual drop against the card's recent selling price rather than its inflated RRP. Our picks will update as stock and pricing change through the sale period.
How to judge a genuine GPU deal
- Check which generation is being cleared. The best GPU discounts usually land on the outgoing generation once its replacement has launched, not on the newest cards, which rarely move much on price in their first year.
- Compare against the card's price over the past few months, not its launch RRP. A card that launched high and has already crept down all year isn't necessarily a Black Friday bargain just because it's below where it started.
- Factor in your power supply and case clearance before chasing a discount. A cheap card that needs a PSU upgrade or doesn't fit your case isn't actually cheap.
- Watch VRAM as much as the core. For most UK gamers a well-specced mid-range card with enough VRAM for the resolution and games you actually play beats a higher-tier card that's short on memory.
