Prices on the RTX 3080 have been extremely inflated for most of the past two years, but things are getting down to reasonable levels now. AMD offers the universal FSR 2.0 as an alternative to DLSS, but so far it's only in a handful of games. Nvidia's RT and DLSS performance are also quite a bit faster than what you get from AMD's new RX 6000 cards, which is a good thing as Nvidia sometimes falls behind in traditional rasterization performance. With potentially double the ray tracing performance of Turing, the RTX 3080 is your best bet at playing games in all their ray traced glory without nuking the piggy bank.Īmpere also brings improved tensor cores for DLSS, a technology that continues to proliferate among recent game releases.
If you skipped the first round of RTX GPUs, the RTX 30-series might finally get you you on board the ray tracing train.
GRAPHIC CARD BENCHMARK COMPARE 1080P
It's mostly overkill for 1080p gaming, unless you're running the latest ray tracing games, in which case DLSS support should also help performance. If you're serious about maxing out all the graphics settings and you want to play at 4K or 1440p, this is the card to get. However, do keep an eye out for the RTX 3080 12GB cards, which at present seems to carry about a $50 price premium - a premium well worth paying in our book.
When we tested the new RTX 3080 Ti, it didn't manage to supplant the incumbent, thanks to its significantly higher pricing. It's over 30% faster than the previous gen 2080 Ti, and supposedly costs $500 less. Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080 sports Nvidia's latest Ampere architecture. Others may offer a slightly different take, but any of the cards on this list are worth considering. Our subjective rankings below also factor in price, power, and features adjusted by our own opinions. We sorted the above list in order of performance, considering both regular and DXR performance, which is why the RTX 3080 ranks ahead of the RX 6800 XT. That's because prices have changed enough that they're the best deals available, unless you want to deal with buying used cards off eBay. Our list now consists entirely of current generation cards. We're now able to find every GPU at an online retailer (Amazon, Newegg, etc.), so we're showing those prices, along with the official launch MSRPs. We previously used average prices from eBay, since that was about the only place you could buy many GPUs. Note: Prices on some of the graphics cards are still above MSRP, but prices have begun to drop rapidly. We're also still waiting for Intel Arc Alchemist to arrive on desktops (in places besides China), which likely won't happen until August or September, while the latest Nvidia Ada rumors suggest a late Q3 launch at best. Unfortunately, MSRPs on four of those (not the 6400) are higher than pre-existing cards, making them a questionable value, though retail prices are correcting pretty quickly now. We now have the Radeon RX 6950 XT, RX 6750 XT, RX 6650 XT and RX 6400 in our charts, along with Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti - sorry (not sorry), no GTX 1630 or Arc A380 yet. All of the major GPUs are now in stock at online stores, and most can be found at or below the official MSRPs. Cryptocurrency mining profitability took a nosedive, and graphics card prices dropped another 14% on average last month. The best news right now is that the long, dark night of GPU shortages and horrible prices is coming to an end. Price, availability, performance, features, and efficiency are all important, though the weighting becomes more subjective. Where our GPU benchmarks hierarchy ranks all of the cards based purely on performance, our list of the best graphics cards looks at the whole package. Whether you're after the fastest graphics card, the best value, or the best card at a given price, we've got you covered. While no one graphics card will be right for everyone, we'll provide options for every budget and mindset below. Without a powerful GPU pushing pixels, even the fastest CPU won't manage much.
The best graphics cards are the beating heart of any gaming PC, and everything else comes second.
