Newegg is offering a significant discount on the MSI MAG 271QPX, a 27-inch OLED gaming monitor with 1440p resolution and 240Hz refresh rate, priced at $499.99 with a coupon code, $200 off its retail price. This deal is available for today only, but Best Buy is also offering the same monitor at this price. The monitor features basic connectivity options and a 3-year warranty, making it an attractive option for gamers seeking a high-performance display.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is now available for $699, matching the price of the Radeon RX 7900 XT, as the non-SUPER version of the 4070 Ti breaks the $700 price point. MSI's Ventus 2X model, a budget-oriented version with no factory-overclocking, is being sold at the reduced price, with a $50 promo code included. The price cut comes as the RX 7900 XT also drops to $699, making both cards available at the same price. While the RX 7900 XT offers better performance and more memory, the RTX 4070 Ti requires less power. Customers are advised to check other retailers for potential price matching.
