This is what various graphics cards should be priced at if they were still using launch prices, and gives us an idea of what each company was intending. We'll get started by looking at MSRP pricing in the US market using our 4K data. Get prepared for a pretty graph-heavy analysis, so here we go. Also please note that the pricing information discussed here was taken over the last few days, and naturally pricing may have moved slightly, though in general it should remain accurate. We also have some 4K resolution data which will be most useful for high end cards.Īll testing was conducted using a Ryzen 7 5800X3D with DDR4-3600 CL16 memory and resizable BAR enabled, which is a setup that minimizes CPU bottlenecks as best as possible, especially when testing at 1080p. Meanwhile, higher tier models typically fare just fine on medium, though of course many people will choose to playing using ultra. Today's entry-level cards, think Radeon 6500 XT, aren't exactly geared towards gaming using high quality settings, so medium is the limit for those cards. The reason we are using medium quality settings is to feature both entry-level and high-end GPUs on the same charts. We won't go over each game individually, but use average data calculated using a geomean which gives us a summary of the performance of each card, which we can then use for comparing the cost per frame. Those games are Red Dead Redemption 2 using medium settings, Rainbow Six Siege using medium settings, Far Cry 6 medium, Hitman 3 medium, Dying Light 2 medium and Shadow of the Tomb Raider at the high quality preset. The six games we've chosen for this comparison were picked carefully from our 50 game sample to be generally representative of how each card performs. Today's article will be a cost per frame analysis based on benchmark data from the previous article and updated to include newer GPUs.
Throughout most of 2022 our recommendation was to wait for pricing adjustments or new GPUs in the high end market, with only the lower segments being consistently worth buying. Since our last update, graphics card pricing has changed a lot for many older GPUs, some products are no longer in stock, and of course, we hadn't yet had a chance to see how GPUs like the GeForce RTX 4090 and Radeon 7900 XTX stacked up compared to the entire array of available GPUs including more mainstream models.Ĭompared to last year we think we're in a much better position to be judging the value of GPUs and whether you should buy them right now as we're five launches deep into a new generation and have a pretty good idea what they are offering at the high end. With the recent launch of new GPUs from both AMD and Nvidia, it's time to take a look into what graphics cards are the best value right now, using the most up to date pricing in several regions.
