Amazon’s Big Deal Days sale, also known as October Prime Day, kicks off tomorrow, but if you’ve been less than thrilled about their early discount offerings on graphics cards, or just can’t wait to upgrade your gaming PC, I’ve got a killer deal for you. Right now at Walmart, you can pick up a Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7800 XT GPU for just $510. That’s an over 50 percent discount on a high-end graphics card tailor-made for premium gaming and content creation.

This AMD desktop graphics card has 16GB of DDR6 VRAM and a base clock speed of 2124MHz, which is plenty of power to handle just about any triple-A game in your library or on your wishlist. But if you want to get just a little more out of your GPU, it’s able to be overclocked to 2430MHz, though this is only recommended for experienced PC builders and gamers, as overclocking your components may void warranties or damage delicate electronics if not done correctly.

With 2 HDMI and 2 DisplayPort outputs, the RX 7800 XT is capable of supporting up to four external displays, making it perfect for content creators and other creative professionals who may need a multi-screen setup to streamline their workflow and multitask in various programs and applications for projects and livestreams.
And unlike the high-end Nvidia 40 Series GPUs, you won’t have to invest in a new, full-size tower case to make sure it fits. With dual cooling fans and a compact 11 x 5.1 x 2.1 inch design, it’s a near-perfect fit for many mid- and full-size towers; and if you’re running a mini-ATX or other micro-compact format like a fanless laptop and looking to pick up the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7800 XT, you might want to pick up an external GPU housing like the Trebleet Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosure for a hassle-free way to instantly boost your PC’s graphics capabilities.
While Walmart doesn’t list a definitive end-date for the 55% discount on the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card, you won’t want to wait around to pick one up. Not only is this one of the best GPU deals I’ve seen since before the chip shortage, Walmart and Sapphire may have limited stock available at this price. This means that the discount may end when they sell a certain number of units. Walmart may also have low physical stock in general, which means a deal this good will make it harder to find in your area the longer you wait.
