On paper, it’s hard to quibble with NVIDIA’s pricing on its newly minted GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (see our review), even with much of the uplift over last-gen coming from DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation. The 16GB model at a $429 MSRP is actually $70 less than the launch price of the previous generation GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, while the 8GB’s $379 starting price is $20 cheaper than the card it’s replacing. In practice? It’s another hard-to-find GPU, and some listings on eBay are priced upwards of $800. We’re not sure whether to laugh or cry. Either way, nobody should be paying a 2x markup over NVIDIA’s baseline MSRP for what’s supposed to a semi-affordable mid-range graphics card. And so far, it doesn’t look like people are—taking a gander at completed auctions that attracted a buyer, we only see one, a factory overclocked Zotac GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Twin Edge 16GB model that sold for $650.

Maybe this year the furry home invader will leave a high-tech surprise, too. If you don’t want to bank on it, however, you can take matters into your hands with an absolutely massive discount on an iPad Pro. You have to be fast, though. Today’s ‘Deal of the Day’ at Best Buy is Apple’s 12.9-inch iPad Pro (6th Generation) for $1,199 (save $1,000), which is a 45% discount over MSRP. It’s packed full of storage, too—this is the 2TB model (the most available), not the 256GB SKU. The only caveat, other than it being a one-day discount, is that the offer is specific to the silver colorway. If you want the Space Black variant instead, pricing leaps to $1,599. That’s still a sizable $600 discount (you can use the same link—just select the alternative color option), but we don’t fancy paying an additional $400 just for a color change. The 6th gen model
