Whether you’re upgrading your gaming PC’s components or your building one from scratch, you should be on the lookout for GPU deals because graphics cards can get pretty expensive. Here’s an offer from Newegg that you should consider: the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card with a $100 discount on its original price of $1,360, which means you’re only going to have to pay $1,260. It’s an open box product though, but if you’re fine with that, you should proceed with your purchase immediately as stocks may run out sooner than you expect.

Why you should buy the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 is the brand’s version of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, which our GPU price tracker says has reached prices of more than $2,000. The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 is a more affordable alternative that delivers topnotch performance with 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM across a 256-bit memory bus, for supported resolution of up to 7680 x 4320. Our GPU buying guide reminds you to make sure that your gaming PC‘s power supply unit can handle it though, as the graphics card comes with a recommended PSU wattage of 850W.

The discount provided by Newegg on the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card is due its status as an open box product, but that shouldn’t prove to be an issue. According to the retailer’s disclaimer, while the box of the GPU has been opened, it may be still unused or very slightly used. The graphics card has been inspected to ensure that it’s in working condition though, so buy it with confidence.

The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card actually already provides fantastic value at its original price of $1,360, so it’s a steal at its lowered price of $1,260 from Newegg for savings of $100. The catch is that it’s an open box product, but with the retailer’s assurance, that shouldn’t be a problem. If you want to take advantage of this bargain, you’ll have to push forward with your transaction right now as tomorrow may already be too late. However, if you’re also thinking of buying a pre-built gaming desktop instead of parts, you should take a look at the gaming PC deals that we’ve rounded up.

Google just invited its AI rivals into its own house and handed them the keys to the most important room. Whether that’s generosity or strategy, I’m still deciding.

At its Android Developer Summit on Wednesday, Google said Android Studio, its official app-building software, now works with more than 40 AI coding agents. These include the popular ones like Anthropic’s Claude, OpenAI’s Codex, and Google’s own Antigravity. (via Android Developers Blog)

Big XR energy, minus the neck workout.

Android XR has spent its first year mostly inside a headset. In my opinion, that is a tough sell for anyone who values their neck. I’ve long believed glasses could change that, and that is exactly why this week’s news got my full attention.

Xreal has launched Aura, calling them the first wired glasses to run Android XR (Google’s XR software), which is what interests me. The company also claims these are the first to launch with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Reality Elite chip platform.

Smart displays have promised to run my entire house for years. However, I mostly end up using them as fancy kitchen timers or home security monitors. Amazon’s newest one wants to change my mind, and it comes with a serious price tag.

The company just unveiled the Echo Show 16. It is a 16-inch smart display that isn’t just a kitchen timer but a small TV, thanks to built-in Fire TV. The baseline version costs $499.99, and the anti-glare version costs $569.99. Pre-orders get $100 off; the device ships late this year.
