These are the only last-gen graphics cards I think are worth hunting down in the Black Friday graphics card sales
If the current prices of the latest AMD and Nvidia graphics cards aren't to your liking, then it's definitely worth considering a Radeon RX 6000-series or GeForce RTX 30-series card in the Black Friday graphics card sales. But a fair number of them just aren't special enough to warrant a look, so here are the ones that I would personally get, as long as they're under a very specific price.
Starting with AMD's RNDA 2 cards, there are only three that I would consider buying and their pricing thresholds:
Well, there's also the RX 6900 XT, but I'm still somewhat undecided on that model.
The RX 6600 is still a perfectly decent budget-grade 1080p graphics card. Forget about its ray tracing performance and just concentrate on its fundamental gaming chops. This is true about all of AMD's last-gen cards, though the most potent of those models are quite reasonable with rays; it depends a lot on the game, though.
Personally, the most I would pay for an RX 6600 is $180 and I'll explain the reason why in a moment. The next card on my list is the RX 6700 XT, as this is a great 1080p/1440p card and churns out a lot more frames per second than the RX 6600. However, I'd still only consider an RX 6700 XT at $280 or less.

This RX 6600 is almost at my ideal price for a last-gen Radeon. It's such a great 1080p budget card that I'd even be tempted $190 but every cent counts these days. With a further $10 saving, you'd be getting lots of gaming enjoyment for relatively little money.
