Holy smokes! RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 Ti GPUs just got a price cut — grab these before they're gone
Right now, this Gainward RTX 5060 Ti GPU (16GB VRAM) is just £379 at Overclockers UK, saving you £20 on Nvidia's powerful mid-range graphics card. That's not all, as the Zotac RTX 5070 is now £45 off, with its price crashing to under £500.
This is the cheapest I've seen these GPUs yet, and considering the major performance gains they deliver (along with DLSS 4), you're getting a boatload of value if you're looking to upgrade your gaming PC. Act fast, as these graphics cards will be snatched off shelves at these prices.
Sporting 16GB GDDR7 video memory, 2572 MHz boost clock and all of Nvidia's latest AI features with DLSS 4, this Gainward RTX 5060 Ti Python III will help optimize gaming performance in the latest games, especially at 1080p and 1440p. Now with a £20 discount? It's even better.
If you're after a further boost in frame rates for AAA gaming, the Zotac RTX 5070 Solid OC will get you there, and now with a £45 price cut. Expect 12GB GDDR7 video memory and boost clock speeds at 2542 MHz.
Out of the pair, I'd personally recommend the RTX 5060 Ti for most people. Not to say the RTX 5070 is bad — there are noticeable uplifts in frame rates over the lower-end card and seeing it for over £40 under the MSRP fixes one of my biggest gripes with the GPU for gaming enthusiasts.
But given the margins in performance between the pair, you're definitely getting more bang for your buck in the mid-ranger. Whichever one you pick, though, you'll find stellar PC game performance at 1080p and 1440p through raw rendering, and with DLSS 4 AI trickery, you can see those frame rates start to skyrocket.
And with that multi-frame generation tech — using AI to take one rendered frame and predict the next 3 — you can get 4K path-traced gameplay on both that is comfortably over 100 FPS. None of it comes with that telltale image ghosting on fast-moving objects that you see when the machine learning algorithm is working overtime to predict.
Make no mistake about it. For PC gamers looking for a serious visual upgrade to their AAA titles, these are the best deals going right now. Don't miss it, as they'll sell out fast!

Palantir, Nvidia stocks slip as Wall Street edges away from its records
Wall Street is edging lower on Tuesday following drops for Palantir and other stars that had been riding the mania surrounding artificial-intelligence technology. The S&P 500 slipped 0.4% and is on track for a third straight modest loss after setting its all-time high last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 8 points, or less than 0.1%, as of 11:50 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was down 1%. The heaviest weight on the market was Nvidia, whose chips are powering much of the move into AI. It sank 2%. Another AI darling, Palantir Technologies, dropped 5.7% for the largest loss in the S&P 500. It has seen bets build up sharply among investors this year that its stock price will drop, according to S3 Partners. Only Meta Platforms has seen a bigger increase in what's called 'short interest,' where traders essentially bet a stock's price will fall. Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, fell 1.7%. Criticism has been rising that stock prices have shot too high, too fast and have become too expensive. One way companies can make their stock prices look less expensive is to deliver solid growth in profits. Palo Alto Networks climbed 4.7% after reporting earnings and revenue for the latest quarter that topped analysts' expectations. The cybersecurity company also gave forecasts for profit and revenue in its upcoming fiscal year that were above Wall Street's. Home Depot's rise of 3.1%, meanwhile, was the biggest reason the Dow was doing better than other indexes. The Dow had been flirting earlier in the morning with its own record, which was set in December. The retailer reported results for the latest quarter that were a bit short of what analysts expected. But it nevertheless delivered growth in revenue and stood by its prior forecasts for revenue and profit over the full year. Other big retailers will deliver their latest profit updates in coming days. Lowe's and Target are on deck for Wednesday, while Walmart and Ross Stores will report on Thursday. The week's likely headliner for Wall Street is arriving on Friday. That's when the chair of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, will give a highly anticipated speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The setting has been home to big policy announcements from the Fed in the past, and the hope on Wall Street is that Powell may give a hint that cuts to interest rates are coming soon. The Fed has been keeping its main interest rate steady this year, primarily because of the fear of the possibility that President Donald Trump's tariffs could push inflation higher. But a surprisingly weak report on job growth across the country may be superseding that. Traders on Wall Street widely expect the Fed to cut interest rates at its next meeting in September in order to give the economy a boost. Treasury yields have come down notably in the bond market as a result, and they fell on Tuesday. The yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.31% from 4.34% late Monday. Strategists at Bank of America, though, warn that Powell may not sound as inclined to cut interest rates as the market is expecting. He could remain non-committal and discuss the possibility of a worst-case scenario for the economy called 'stagflation.' The Fed has no good tool to fix that situation, where the economy stagnates at the same time as inflation remains high. On Wall Street, Tegna rose 4.1% after Nexstar Media Group said it will buy the owner of 64 television stations across the country for $22 per share in cash, giving the deal a total value of $6.2 billion, including debt. Nexstar, which owns the CW and local television broadcasters of its own, added 0.4%. The companies said combining will give them a broader reach and allow them to better compete with Big Tech and legacy media. Viking Therapeutics tumbled 43% after the biopharmaceutical company released results from a clinical trial of its oral tablet, which could treat obesity and other metabolic disorders. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose in Europe after falling modestly in Asia. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index slipped 0.4% as market heavyweight SoftBank Group Corp. fell 4% after it announced it was taking a $2 billion stake in U.S. chip maker Intel.

Nvidia Considering 'Variety of Products' as New China AI Chip Details Emerge
Nvidia (NVDA) said it's considering a "variety of products" for its roadmap as more details emerge about a new AI chip for the Chinese market. This follows recent signs of inroads in winning approvals from the Trump administration to expand sales to the country. Nvidia could look to deliver samples of the new chip to Chinese clients for testing as early as next month, Reuters reported Tuesday. The new chip, tentatively known as the B30A, is based on Nvidia's Blackwell architecture and more advanced than the H20 chip the company recently won approval to resume selling in China after striking a deal with President Trump to pay the U.S. government 15% of its China chip revenue. A Nvidia spokesperson told Investopedia Tuesday that the company wants to be "prepared to compete to the extent that governments allow," adding "everything we offer is with the full approval of the applicable authorities and designed solely for beneficial commercial use." Shares of Nvidia fell nearly 3% in recent trading. Still, they've added nearly a third of their value this year, after their recent rally amid optimism about the company's sales in China and strong demand for AI hardware. Wall Street Analysts See 'Slippery Slope' in Recent Licensing Deal While many on Wall Street saw the recent 15% revenue-sharing agreements for Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) as a positive development for the companies—which took a hit on export curbs earlier in the year—some have raised concerns about what they could mean for American tech companies navigating rapidly changing China trade policies. "It feels like a slippery slope to us," Bernstein analysts wrote last week of the deals, which could open the door to others and pointed to a lack of clarity on whether and how much companies could be pushed to pay to sell such products in China. "Sure it might raise some money, but doesn't seem to address any strategic issues beyond a grab for dollars," the analysts said. Last week, Trump suggested he could be open to expanding Nvidia's licenses to cover more powerful chips, after further negotiations. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang could be asked for more details on the company's plans when the chipmaker reports its latest quarterly financial results after the bell Aug. 27.

Nvidia developing more powerful AI chip to sell in China: report
Nvidia is developing an AI chip for China that is more powerful than the H20 model it is currently allowed to sell in the region, according to a report. The new chip, tentatively named the B30A, is a less advanced version of its Blackwell B300 design, which is blocked from sale in China by export restrictions, two sources familiar with the company's plans told Reuters. It's likely to deliver about half of the raw computing power of the B300 – after President Trump signaled he'd be open to allowing a new chip into China that's '30 to 50% off' in terms of power, adding that the H20 has grown 'obsolete.'

AFP via Getty Images Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Tuesday said he wouldn't be surprised if CEO Jensen Huang wants to sell a new chip to China. 'I'm sure he's pitching the president all the time,' Lutnick told CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street.' 'I've listened to him pitch the president, and the president listens to our great technology companies, and he'll decide how he wants to play it.'

REUTERS Trump recently announced an unprecedented deal for Nvidia and AMD to give the US government 15% of revenue from their sales in China – in exchange for permission to recommence sales of the H20 and AMD's MI308. Nvidia built the H20 model specifically to bypass Biden-era export controls, but the company was ordered to halt sales in April. Trump said last week that he asked for a 20% cut of Nvidia's China sales, but that Huang negotiated it down to 15%.
