I don't remember a time when picking the best graphics card was such a tough decision. In previous years we've maybe made it easier on ourselves by just going on essentially a sliding performance scale, with a bit of a nod to price banding. But now I want to give you a bit more of a definitive take on what the actual GPU we recommend for most PC gamers is right now. I mean, you could easily just pick the one which sits closest to your current upgrade budget, as generally spending more gets you more. But there is more nuance in this current generation, not to mention higher prices to beware of, too.
For most PC gamers this is the graphics card which offers the highest performance for the money, delivering decent 1440p performance, and much improved ray tracing over previous AMD generations of GPU. It's also rocking 16 GB of VRAM to be able to deliver on high graphics settings at that resolution now and into the future, too. It was priced appallingly at launch, but now it's settling down and delivering performance close to the RX 9070 XT and therefore the RTX 5070 Ti, too. It's also been remarkably resilient so far in the face of spiking GPU prices thanks to the ongoing RAMpocalypse.
The absolute top, from a pure performance standpoint, however, still is the Nvidia RTX 5090. That's the best high-end graphics card with no other contenders getting near its mix of style, features, and raw computational grunt. It's also a card where no-one gets close in terms of price, either, especially with prices the way they are right now. At the budget end, we can no longer recommend Intel's B570, it doesn't have the value argument anymore and the reliability and relative performance of the RTX 5050 makes that now the best budget graphics card.

Quick list
The best overall graphics card
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is our current pick for the best graphics card for most PC gamers. Its price/performance combo, coupled with the improvements that AMD has made to both its ray tracing and upscaling tech, makes it a winner for me.
The best value graphics card
With a one-two right at the top of this guide, it shows just how well AMD's new RDNA 4 cards have done. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT shows both the red team's commitment to good value, and delivering a bunch of VRAM through the stack.
The best budget graphics card
When the Arc B570 was below $200 it made sense, now the RTX 5050 is widely available for around the same price, but with higher and more reliable performance, it makes far more sense to go with the Nvidia GPU.
The best mid-range graphics card
It's a bit of a fight between the RTX 5070 Ti and RX 9070 XT for this spot, but the Nvidia just wins as globally the price delta between them isn't so great. And prices being similar, the GeForce card has a better feature set, better overclocking, and higher overall fps.
The best high-end graphics card
While it may only be some 30% faster than the RTX 4090, there is no other consumer GPU on the planet that comes close to its power or potential. And it also has the Multi Frame Gen magic trick at its disposal to deliver ludicrous frame rates in compatible games.
Dave first started as a PC hardware journalist, after years of freelance games journalism, way back in 2005 when he started with PC Format magazine. In that role, and many others since, he's tested pretty much every single graphics card generation and architecture released in the intervening years. He's the person best placed around PC Gamer to tell you which graphics card is the best right now, because he's used them all.
February 10, 2026: I've updated our pick for the best budget graphics card recommendation to the Nvidia RTX 5050. The previous recommendation was the Arc B570, but its value proposition has evaporated and its performance isn't as reliably good as the GeForce option. And when money's tight, you want the card you can be confident is going to work in your games.
November 4, 2025: I've updated the presentation of video within the guide, to highlight some of the benefits of the different GPUs in motion, and updated the full GPU hierarchy rank at the bottom of the page.
July 5, 2025: I've added in a full rundown of exactly how we test each and every graphics card that crosses our desks. And there's a lot of work that goes into benchmarking and reviewing a new GPU, and we're now presenting all the data we collect here, as well as in all the reviews that we do.
1. Best overall graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 9070
1440p gaming performance
| Product | Value |
|---|---|
| RX 9070 | 73 Avg FPS, 64 1% Low FPS |
| RTX 5070 | 68 Avg FPS, 60 1% Low FPS |
| RX 9070 XT | 82 Avg FPS, 73 1% Low FPS |
| RTX 5070 Ti | 84 Avg FPS, 74 1% Low FPS |
✅ You want a good 1440p GPU, and a great 1080p one: With the ray tracing updates baked into RDNA 4, the RX 9070 is now a fantastic all-round graphics card. It can nail 1440p and 1080p resolutions at top settings, and can call on FSR and AMD's frame generation feature to give you a boost if you need it.
✅ You're happy to undervolt/overclock: With some easy tweaks in the AMD drivers you can boost the performance of the GPU to within a couple of percentage points of the RX 9070 and RTX 5070 Ti. And the best part is that it doesn't demand a ton more power or cooling to get there, so shouldn't stress you or your fancy new card.
❌ You can find an RX 9070 XT for anything close to the same price: While you can overclock the non-XT card to get within 2% of the performance, prices being equal the XT card is a no-brainer.
🪛 The Radeon RX 9070 is an excellent graphics card if you're looking for high 1440p performance without the almost $1,000 price points of the competing Nvidia cards. With the market as it is, the AMD card is the best GPU for most PC gamers.
The RX 9070 is a rather agonising pick as the best graphics card around right now. There are inevitable caveats around my decision, because quite obviously this second-tier RDNA 4 GPU is not the most powerful GPU you can buy. The AMD Radeon RX 9070, however, is the graphics card I think makes the most sense to the most PC gamers.
And, realistically, it's going to be the one that I would suggest to my PC gaming friends if they come looking for a recommendation. Luckily, I don't actually have friends.
The RX 9070 offers close to the performance of AMD's most powerful RDNA 4 GPU, still packs in 16 GB of GDDR6 video memory, can be easily overclocked without demanding much more cooling or power, and handily outperforms Nvidia's similarly priced, lower-spec RTX 5070.
I was relatively cool on the card in my initial review of the GPU, mainly because our first taste of it was a card that XFX hiked the price of out the gate, which made it more than a reference RX 9070 XT. As things have evened out, there are reliably cheaper RX 9070 cards around and when you look at the graphics card market as a whole, the Radeon stands out as a great pick.
Yet I still haven't come to that conclusion lightly. My first thought was going to be recommending the $350 RX 9060 XT, because it is great value, performs well, and pretty much offers performance parity with the more expensive Nvidia option. But it doesn't feel like a great recommendation for the best graphics card, given that it is a third-tier Radeon that isn't particularly exciting.
The Radeon RX 9070 XT, though, is a fantastic card and were it not for the ludicrous over-pricing of AMD's finest it would absolutely be my top pick. With an MSRP of $599 it would be an easy choice for its impressive performance out of the box, stunning under-volting frame rate bumps, and the excellent filip of the new FSR4 upscaler. But the cheapest you can get it for these days is still over $700, with the RX 9070 generally under $600 with very similar gaming performance, especially with some judicious undervolting.
In the end, the extra raster performance of the Radeon RX 9070 over the RTX 5070—and how close it can get to the more expensive RTX 5070 Ti and RX 9070 XT GPUs—makes it the best graphics card to buy right now for most PC gamers.

2. Best value graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB
1080p gaming performance
| Product | Value |
|---|---|
| RX 9060 XT 16 GB | 73 Avg FPS, 63 1% Low FPS |
| RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB | 75 Avg FPS, 65 1% Low FPS |
| RTX 5070 | 95 Avg FPS, 82 1% Low FPS |
✅ You want a lot of VRAM without spending a ton of cash: The 16 GB version of the RX 9060 XT has an MSRP of $349, and even in these price-inflated times it's regularly available right now for well under $400.
✅ You want an affordable upgrade for modern 1080p or 1440p gaming: Smooth 4K gaming is beyond even the fastest budget cards, but at lower resolutions the RX 9060 XT delivers great performance for the cash, particularly compared to previous generations.
✅ You want bang for your buck: The RX 9060 XT might not be the fastest card on the market, but nothing touches it at this price.
❌ You can really stretch that budget: For under $400 there is nothing that touches the RX 9060 XT, but if you can push on to ~$450 that brings you into RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB territory. That is an overall faster GPU with more overclocking potential.
❌ You want productivity performance: This is a gaming card, through and through, so if you're looking for productivity chops then Nvidia is the way to go.
🪛 The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT is not a sexy graphics card, it's not the fastest graphics card, but it's an honest GPU that will deliver good gaming performance at the most popular resolutions with top settings. And all for under $400.
To be able to pick up a genuine 16 GB graphics card, with a seriously performant GPU core at its heart, for around $400 is pretty great. It would be even better if the card in question was actually retailing for its original MSRP, but even at the current slightly over MSRP pricing, the Radeon RX 9060 XT is still our pick for the best value graphics card today.
Okay, the latest AMD RDNA 4 GPU is not quite living up to its launch claims of beating the RTX 5060 Ti, certainly not across our benchmarking suite, but at 1080p the Nvidia card is less than a percentage point ahead on average, and it's by only 3% at 1440p. Effectively, I think we can kinda call that parity.
The GeForce card is more consistently ahead at 4K—even though they both carry 16 GB on the top versions of the card—but neither are capable of actually playable frame rates at that resolution. And even the boon of Multi Frame Generation can't help in reality.
But the parity at 1440p and 1080p itself is impressive for the AMD card, especially when you take into account that we're testing games which have pretty hefty ray tracing workloads in them as part of our benchmarking gauntlet. Historically that's where AMD cards have fallen down against Nvidia, but the new RDNA 4 architecture has changed around how the Radeon cards deal with ray tracing, giving them more dedicated silicon to do the work, and that has made all the difference.
Another area where there has been historic Nvidia dominance is in the feature set, and honestly, the green team still has the edge on that count. The twin pillars of DLSS 4 upscaling and the Multi Frame Generation (MFG) feature do give the GeForce card some real merit. But the quality experience of MFG is very dependent on there being a relatively high, consistent frame rate before the interpolation of up to three extra frames kicks in. That means its effectiveness does diminish lower down the GPU stack.
It's worth noting here that it's the 16 GB version of this card that we're recommending here (though if you simply cannot go north of $350, the 8 GB version wouldn't be a bad shout). Both AMD and Nvidia have released twin versions of their cards with 16 and 8 GB VRAM allocations and, given the memory-intensive direction detail-heavy modern games are going, that extra memory headroom will be valuable even if you're gaming at 1440p.
So, our recommendation would be to aim for that 16 GB version if you have the patience to save up a little longer, as it will help in the long run. Then you'll be rocking a real solid, pretty low power GPU, that can stand toe-to-toe with the more expensive Nvidia cards.

3. Best budget graphics card: Nvidia RTX 5050
1080p gaming performance
| Product | Value |
|---|---|
| RTX 5050 | 50 Avg FPS, 38 1% Low FPS |
| Arc B570 | 37 Avg FPS, 28 1% Low FPS |
| RTX 5060 | 64 Avg FPS, 48 1% Low FPS |
✅ You are on a restrictive budget: At the moment, the cheapest new graphics card you can buy is either the RTX 5050 or Arc B570, and this Nvidia GPU just about has the edge in terms of overall performance and reliability. If you only have ~$250 to spend this is your best option.
❌ You can find an RTX 5060 for a decent price: If you can stretch your budget, the RTX 5060 is a far superior card in terms of its overall gaming frame rates, offering around 28% higher gaming performance at 1080p and 36% more at 1440p, for just 15% more cash.
🪛 The Nvidia RTX 5050 is the best budget graphics card at the moment, but only by a hair's breadth. The Arc B570 has lost its value proposition, and it's harder to accept its driver issues when the prices are similar. But the RTX 5060 is only a little more money and a far more capable GPU. Though, if you cannot stretch your budget that far, the RTX 5050 will still deliver a decent 1080p gaming experience.
Difficult GPU recommendations is kinda the theme for this graphics card tier list, and they don't come much tougher than the budget pick. In a world where GPU pricing has been trending ever higher since the memory crisis bit, and even prior to that with the pandemic and ethereum mining booms, it's hard going trying to find a really cheap graphics card that's still worth the money in 2026.
Up to now, the Intel Arc B570 had been our pick as the best budget GPU, because it was sitting under the $200 mark and genuinely had a value proposition to it. But given that the price of Intel's little-card-that-almost-could has gone up quite considerably, where you can find it, it's a much harder GPU to recommend. It's occasional driver issues (Cyberpunk 2077, for example, is still a bit of a mess) are much less forgiveable when it shares approximate pricing to Nvidia's cheapest RTX Blackwell card.
That means, for me, the RTX 5050 is now the go-to pick for best budget graphics card.
It's not an exciting card, doesn't really replace an equivalent GPU from the previous generation (the RTX 4050 was restricted to laptops), and actually comes in a little behind the performance of the last-gen RTX 4060. So yeah, if you're still rocking that older Ada GPU, there's no upgrade for you here.
But what it is, is reliable and relatively cheap. At around the $260 mark it's a similar price to the Arc B570, but suffers from none of the driver issues I've had with the Intel GPU in testing. And it's also generally quicker at 1080p. In our standard GPU test suite, the RTX 5050 posts, on average, 11% higher frame rates than the Intel chip, and 6% higher at 1440p.
You'll note there's a significant difference in that performance delta as the resolutions get more demanding, and in fact it turns around at 4K where the B570 takes an almost 3% lead. That's down to the fact that the Intel card comes with 10 GB off VRAM against the RTX 5050's 8 GB GDDR6.
But, realistically, you're not buying a $260 GPU to game at 4K, and if you are you will be very disappointed whichever card you buy. So, down at this level, the rabid hate for an 8 GB frame buffer makes less sense.
Looking at an frame rate averaged across our 1080p benchmark suite, you get 57 fps from the RTX 5050, while the B570 sits at 51. That means you're getting near 60 fps performance on average, all at the highest performance settings in some of the most demanding games, and notably without upscaling or frame generation.
I will say, however, that when you do take into account Nvidia and Intel's upscaling performance at the low-end, then the performance does even out. Either way, that does then mean you're averaging over 60 fps at 1440p with those options enabled.
Still, when the GeForce GPU is that bit more reliable, that's where I'd be spending my money right now.
4. Best mid-range graphics card: Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti
4K gaming performance
| Product | Value |
|---|---|
| RTX 5070 Ti | 47 Avg FPS, 33 1% Low FPS |
| RX 9070 XT | 45 Avg FPS, 39 1% Low FPS |
| RTX 5080 | 55 Avg FPS, 47 1% Low FPS |
✅ You can find it for close to MSRP: I get it, prices have been buck-wild recently, but they're coming down across most of the globe, and at its more reasonable price the RTX 5070 Ti is a fantastic graphics card.
✅ You are happy to overclock: Such is the level of GPU headroom in the GB203 that overclocking the RTX 5070 Ti is really a no-brainer. Even more so because it doesn't unduly stress the graphics silicon, is easy to do, and can genuinely get you a bunch more frames per second for little effort.
✅ You're not ideologically opposed to Multi Frame Generation: The RTX 5070 Ti's native performance comes in at a level where MFG really comes into its own, delivering super high, super smooth frame rates where it's supported. Which is a lot of games, right now. But if you're against it on principal no matter how good it looks then the RX 9070 XT is probably the GPU for you.
❌ The price delta between it and the RX 9070 XT is over $100: The RTX 5070 Ti and RX 9070 XT cards go head-to-head in the performance stakes, and Nvidia's cards just about has the edge when it comes to feature set and overclocking, but that's only if prices are relatively close. When there's a big gap between them then the cheaper AMD card makes for the best mid-range graphics card.
🪛 The Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti is the best mid-range graphics card you can buy if you can buy it for a reasonable price. It's an outstanding 1440p card, and with all the gaming assists on, such as upscaling and MFG, it's an impressive 4K GPU, too. But prices have been far too close to $900 in recent times, and that makes it a harder recommendation. Closer to its $750 MSRP, however, and it's a great graphics card.
If you were wondering where all the Nvidia cards were in this list you're about to hit the motherlode, because at the higher-end of the market the GeForce GPUs are the ones you really ought to covet. The RTX Blackwell architecture may not be a huge silicon improvement over its forebear, but there is enough in the mix of DLSS 4, Multi Frame Generation (MFG), and the slight GPU redesign to give you a serious boost in performance.
MFG does its best work when there is a decently high frame rate going in, which means you can smooth out performance, delivering very high frame rates without massively spiking the PC latency. That's the best case scenario for MFG, and with the RTX 5070 Ti as the best mid-range graphics card you're getting the Nvidia feature set working to its fullest potential.
There is still a case to be made for the cheaper AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, because with subsequent driver updates its performance has improved to the point where at native resolutions it will sometimes outpace the Nvidia competition. Now prices are starting to settle down on the AMD side it's getting far more affordable, while in the US especially, the RTX 5070 Ti still commands a high price tag.
Things are more even in the UK and the rest of the world, which does make it harder to pick the AMD over the Nvidia GPU in terms of performance and gaming experience. Where prices are closer together I'm going to side with the GeForce card thanks to its more effective feature set, the fact that MFG does genuinely work at this level, and that it is a very capable overclocker.
To be fair, both AMD and Nvidia cards are at this level, but the RTX Blackwell has so much easily accessible GPU headroom that overclocking is not only simple, but bears little to no actual risk in running your card at a higher level permanently. It's not really any hotter, or more demanding of power, so why wouldn't you? I've personally tested four different RTX 5070 Ti cards and every single one of them could be pushed to around the same level of 3+ GHz clock speeds without even touching 70 °C.
With all the assists on, the RTX 5070 Ti will consistently deliver triple-figure frame rates in all the latest games at 1440p, and given its regular 60+ fps natively at that resolution, you'll also find it a more than capable 4K graphics card with upscaling and MFG thrown in for good measure.
And when prices normalise across the board as time marches inexorably along, then we'll get back towards the MSRP of the RTX 5070 Ti and that should cement its place as the best mid-range graphics card in every territory.

5. Best high-end graphics card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090
4K gaming performance
| Product | Value |
|---|---|
| RTX 5090 | 82 Avg FPS, 70 1% Low FPS |
| RTX 5080 | 55 Avg FPS, 47 1% Low FPS |
| RX 9070 XT | 45 Avg FPS, 39 1% Low FPS |
✅ You want the best: If you want to nail triple figure frame rates in the latest 4K games, then you're going to need the might and magic of Multi Frame Gen, and that's only available with the RTX 50-series cards. And yes, I do like alliteration.
✅ You to get in on the ground floor of neural rendering: The RTX Blackwell GPUs are the first chips to come with a full set of shaders that will have direct access to the Tensor Cores of the card. That will enable a new world of AI-powered gaming features... when devs get around to using them in released games.
✅ You're after a hyper-powerful SFF rig: The Founders Edition is deliciously slimline, and while it generates a lot of heat it will fit in some of the smallest small form factor PC chassis around.
❌ You need to ask the price: With a $400 price hike over the RTX 4090, the new RTX 5090 is a whole lot of cash at its $1,999 MSRP. The kicker, however, is that you'll be lucky to find one at that price given the third-party cards are looking like $2,500+ right now.
🪛 The RTX 5090 is the most powerful consumer graphics card on the planet right now, and delivers gaming performance far beyond what you could manage on other GPUs, especially if you're playing something which supports Multi Frame Generation.
The RTX Blackwell generation of new GPUs has kicked off with a bang, and means that right now, the best graphics card is undoubtedly the Nvidia RTX 5090. And is likely to remain that way for the next two years at least. Given the fact that AMD isn't going to release a competitor card for the top GeForce GPU in the RDNA 4 generation, you can be confident if you pick one of these up today (or when they come back in stock) you will still be gaming on the best GPU probably until the next Nvidia generation is released.
While that might make for miserable reading for AMD fans, it should be a little more comforting for anyone hellbent on spending $2,000+ on a new graphics card. It will, at least, last the course at the top of benchmarking tree.
Sure, you are only getting some 30% extra gen-on-gen performance over the RTX 4090 at 4K, and that is the smallest performance bump over a previous generation's top card since Turing came along. But there's a magic trick up the sleeve of the RTX Blackwell cards, and that is Multi Frame Generation.
Right now, it's limited to the RTX 50-series—else it would likely cannibalise sales to a huge extent down the stack if RTX 40-series GPUs were allowed into the MFG party—and it adds in up to three more frames in between each actually rendered pair. Using a feature called Flip Metering, which utilises an enhanced bit of silicon in the RTX 50-series Display Engine, it offloads all the burden of frame pacing from the CPU, puts it all on the GPU, and allows the RTX 5090 to queue up all these extra AI-generated frames perfectly for the display.
Along with a new AI-based frame generation model, Multi Frame Generation is able to hugely increase the potential performance of the RTX 5090 in any game which supports it, and the results are frankly incredible. There are some small artifacts—though nothing that would stop me using the feature—but the really impressive thing is that it adds practically no extra latency on top of the standard 2x Frame Generation experience.
And that itself has been lowered thanks to that new FG AI model which makes it 40% quicker and 30% less VRAM hungry at the same time. The good news for RTX 40-series patrons is that model at least is coming to standard Frame Gen in the Ada generation, too.
There are also a ton of games at launch with immediate compatibility with MFG, either with it natively implemented in the game, à la Cyberpunk 2077, or via the new DLSS Override feature in the Nvidia App, as in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
It's also the most powerful consumer GPU when it comes to creator tasks, too, thanks to its hefty 32 GB of GDDR7 and its massive bandwidth, but also because it's so damned good with an AI noodling if GenAI is your thing.
In short, the RTX 5090 is the best graphics card for anyone who wants the absolute finest silicon and feature set of any consumer GPU going. You're just going to have to pay through the nose for it until stock settles down. If it ever does to an extent that MSRP versions of the card become readily available.

How we test graphics cards
I have been benchmarking graphics cards since the 2000s, and have used many different games, applications, and methodologies over the intervening years. And, for the most part, testing GPUs is a largely objective process; you test the silicon in different ways, come out with a set of benchmark figures which you then compare against another set of numbers from a different card, or cards, to be able to objectively tell which is empirically the best.
Our current GPU test suite consists of Black Myth Wukong, Cyberpunk 2077, F1 24, Homeworld 3, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, The Talos Principle 2, andTotal War: Warhammer III for our gaming tests. These tests are carried out using the same game and system settings across all the graphics cards we test, and are run at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions.
We measure using both the average frame rate and the 1% Low FPS figure. This gives us a general measure of in-game performance as well as allowing us to see just how consistent that frame rate level is. The 1% Low FPS measure shows the average of the highest 1% of frame times in any given benchmarking run. Translating that into frames per second (1000/x ms) gives us the data to show whether there are regularly large drops in performance or whether it's relatively stable.
We capture this data using the Nvidia Frameview app running over the top of whatever game we are benchmarking, whether the game will give its own data output or not.
We also use the UL suite of benchmark software to get some synthetic testing done against high-end rastererisation performance with 3DMark Time Spy Extreme, and ray tracing performance with 3DMark Port Royal.
With the new RTX Blackwell cards, we've also been using a selection of games to help us get a bead on the impact of Multi Frame Generation on both frame rate and PC latency, too. As well as retesting different levels of MFG (at either 1440p for lower end cards or 4K for high-end GPUs) with Cyberpunk 2077, we also use the ultra-demanding Alan Wake 2 and Dragon Age: Veilguard for its implementation via the Nvidia App.
Actual gaming performance isn't the whole story with graphics cards, however, as they are used for different uses outside of gaming. While we are PC Gamer, we know that some people want to be able to use their PC for 3D rendering, editing, or generative AI uses, and so we run the Blender benchmark, PugetBench for DaVinci Resolve, and Procyon's image generation benchmark using StableDiffusion.
We also capture a ton of system data, too, using the Nvidia PCAT tool (a riser board which sits between the GPU and PCIe slot) to measure actual graphics card power draw. This means we can track both peak and average power use when gaming, and a given GPU's performance per Watt metrics, too.
For this we use three back-to-back runs of the Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition benchmark, at 1080p and 4K, to give us the power numbers, as well as peak and average temperatures and average GPU clock speed, too.
On top of this we will also test the overclocking capabilities of graphics cards, by pushing them as far as we can using standard overclocking methodologies; ie. the same as you would be able to easily do at home. No LN2 sniffing going on here.
But there are also subjective measures which come into play when actually picking the best graphics card. And that all comes down to a consistent driver experience when using the GPU, how loud the cooling fans can get, whether there is discomforting coil whine or other electrical noise, and just how much damned money manufacturers are charging for these cards.
In short, there's a lot that goes into our testing.
In the PC Gamer office—and sometimes my own satellite office up the hill if I'm testing into the wee hours of the morning—we have a dedicated test rig that we use for testing graphics cards. This is our AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D-based system:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D | Motherboard: Gigabyte X870E Aorus Master | RAM: G.Skill 32 GB DDR5-6000 CAS 30 | Cooler: Corsair H170i Elite Capellix | SSD: 2 TB Crucial T700 | PSU: Seasonic Prime TX 1600W | Case: DimasTech Mini V2
We also have two other systems, kindly provided by MSI and CyberpowerPC, which we use if another member of the team, such as Jacob, Nick, or Andy, need to benchmark a card. These travel around the UK, and both house the same set of components so we can maintain multiple testing PCs which deliver data we can use to accurate reference other cards.

GPU hierarchy
Below we have listed multiple generations of graphics card based on a simple 3DMark Time Spy Extreme GPU index score. This is only a rough approximation of relative gaming performance between the different graphics cards, as there is more variance than just with a single synthetic benchmark, but it is still a good snap shot of where the cards stack up against each other.
