Black Friday is the perfect time to upgrade your gaming rig, and if you’ve been eyeing up the powerful RTX 5080, we’ve found a stonking deal that includes Steam Wallet credit and more.
As part of the big Black Friday bonanza, Amazon is offering £60 off the MSI-flavoured RTX 5080 with 16GB of VRAM, bringing it down to £939. Granted, it’s not the biggest money-off deal ever, but the extra offers – like up to £100 Steam Wallet credit for games, a free 60-day Audible trial and more – make it that little bit more tempting.
Nab a £60 discount and Steam freebies with this RTX 5080 deal
Even with a modest £60 discount, it’s the cheapest this RTX 5080 card has been since launch – and the deal is sweetened by Steam Wallet, Audible and GoPuff offers.
Besides, even with just £60 off for Black Friday, this still represents the cheapest the in-demand graphics card has been since it launched back in January. If you’re serious about upgrading your gaming PC to handle the latest titles in 4K at high frame rates, this is well worth considering.
This isn’t your bog-standard RTX 5080 that Nvidia produces either; this is the MSI Inspire 3X OC, a factory-overclocked variant of MSI’s regular Inspire 3X that delivers even better performance whether you’re running and gunning in Battlefield 6 or exporting multiple streams of 4K video in DaVinci Resolve.
The overclocked GPU sports three Stormforce fans, featuring seven claw-textured fan blades each, along with heat-dissipating elements like a copper baseplate, heat pipes, a heatsink and thermal pads to help the graphics card run cool and deliver more consistent performance, even when gaming or powering other high-demand tasks.

It also offers a range of display connectivity options, including 3x DisplayPort 2.1b ports and a HDMI 2.1b port for up to 4K@480Hz performance – when connected to a compatible display, of course.
But despite the impressive overclocked design and high-end cooling mechanisms, the graphics card is surprisingly compact – it’s 288mm long, so it should fit nicely in the majority of PC cases, weighs less than 1kg and works with any PCIe 2.5 slot.
Gamers in particular benefit from the RTX 5080, not only because of the sheer power it delivers but also because of elements like DLSS-powered multi-frame generation to deliver higher frame rates even at high resolutions, improved ray reconstruction for more realistic lighting and Super Resolution that lets you upscale from, say, 1080p to 4K without sacrificing overall quality.
With not only £60 off but up to £100 Steam Wallet credit to spend on games, this is the graphics card I’d be buying this Black Friday.
