#HW COMPARE GPU PC#
There's no denying it is an ultra-niche ultra-enthusiast card, and that almost makes the RTX 4090 little more than a reference point for most of us PC gamers. The straight 3DMark Time Spy Extreme score is twice that of the big Ampere core, and before ray tracing or DLSS come into it, the raw silicon offers twice the 4K frame rate in Cyberpunk 2077, too. With everything turned on, with DLSS 3 and Frame Generation working its magic, the RTX 4090 is monumentally faster than the RTX 3090 that came before it. That's even before you get into the equal mix of majesty and black magic that lies behind the new DLSS 3.0 revision designed purely for Ada. And, for the most part, it makes the previous flagship card of the Ampere generation look well off the pace. This is a vast GPU that packs in 170% more transistors than even the impossibly chonk GA102 chip that powered the RTX 3090 Ti. It's unstoppable, and will stay ahead of the pack as we now know AMD's highest performance graphics card, the RX 7900 XTX, is well and truly an RTX 4080 competitor. On the one hand, it's a hell of an introduction to the sort of extreme performance Ada can deliver when given a long leash, and on the other, a slightly tone-deaf release in light of a global economic crisis that makes launching a graphics card for a tight, very loaded minority of gamers feel a bit off.īut we can't ignore it for this guide to the best GPUs around simply because, as it stands today, there's no alternative to the RTX 4090 that can get anywhere close to its performance. But it's no model, and it's no moon, this is the vanguard for the entire RTX 40-series GPU generation and our first taste of the new Ada Lovelace architecture. It looks like some semi-satirical plastic model made up to skewer GPU makers for the ever-increasing size of their cards. The best Amazon Prime Day graphics card deals I've listed the specific graphics cards we recommend in different categories below, but I've also lined up the most relevant GPUs of this latest generation (with a few guest appearances by still worthwhile last-gen cards) all in order of gaming performance. And we also don't recommend Nvidia's budget GPUs right now, such as the RTX 3060, as AMD and even Intel have them roundly beat on price. We suggest avoiding the high-end RX 6950 XT and RTX 3090 Ti nowadays, as these cards are generally being pushed out by similarly priced newer options. These two Alchemist generation cards are going even cheaper today. But Intel now rules the budget game with two far more affordable graphics cards, the Arc A770 and Arc A750. Most recently, we saw AMD release its $269 RX 7600. Nvidia hasn't released a true budget GPU for the desktop yet, but its mid-range RTX 4060 Ti is out now, to a muted fanfare, with the RTX 4060 is following in July. On the other end of the market, there's not much new to write about. Check out the best Amazon Prime Day gaming deals.The RTX 4070 Ti isn't as cheap as we'd like, but at least it's more reasonable than Nvidia's finest for a perfectly 4K capable card. Then there's the RTX 4080, which is a bit too pricey for us, and the RTX 4070 Ti. Nvidia has its RTX 40-series led by the RTX 4090, and that thing really is a beast of massive proportions.
For the high-end gamer, you've plenty of new cards to choose from.
