As we move beyond the mid-range though towards the higher-end models, AMD stacks up well. The margin between the Radeon 6700 XT and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti remains about the same at 1440p with the GeForce GPU costing roughly 7% more per frame. For comparing more higher-end graphics cards let's move to 1440p. It's $10 more than the 6700 XT and is only ~5% slower, so you could argue features such as DLSS help to offset that margin. The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti stacks up better despite costing more per frame. It might be $10 cheaper, according to our pricing data, but because it's 20% slower, it's not a great deal. The Radeon RX 6600 also makes a mockery of the RTX 3050 as the GeForce GPU costs 26% more per frame.
It's crazy to think this GPU was selling for $270+ just months ago and some reviewers were recommending it simply because it was the cheapest new GPU you could buy. In other words, even as the Radeon 6500 XT approaches its MSRP, it continues to be a horrible product that should have never sold for a dollar over $150 – in fact, $100 or less is far more fitting for this class of product. What's shocking about this data is that the 6500 XT would need to be priced at ~$170 just match the cost per frame of the RX 6600, and it would be doing so with half the VRAM, half the PCIe bandwidth, no hardware encoding, and complete absence of AV1 decoding. That makes it 16% cheaper than the 6500 XT per frame.
#Best graphic card benchmark 1080p#
The best value 1080p GPU right now is the Radeon RX 6600, coming in at a cost of $2.98 per frame in our testing. Even if you are not in the United States, as we usually make recommendations based on pricing from that market, you can check pricing of the relevant products in your region and using the formula above you can easily come up with the option that makes the most sense for you. Simply select a performance tier you're interested in, take the current pricing you're looking at and divide that by the frame rate to get your cost per frame. With that said, the most valuable information here is the frame rate data. We used pricing information gathered on April 20, which means that some price movement is to be expected, though the bulk of the data should be good. We tested at 1080p 1440p and 4K resolutions using the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with DDR4-3600 CL16 memory and resizable BAR enabled. The reason for using medium quality settings in almost all the games was to allow the entry-level models to achieve reasonable levels of performance, and then at the high-end we can look at the 4K data. Instead of going through the individual game data, we've calculated the geomean for the six games and will be using that to report cost per frame. The titles include Red Dead Redemption 2, Rainbow Six Siege, Far Cry 6, Hitman 3, Dying Light 2 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. In total, there's 17 current generation GPUs (or up to 18 if you include the RX 6400, but we don't have one of those yet) and we don't think we're missing out on anything of true value there.īecause that's a ton of GPUs to cover, we've only tested them in 6 games, but we've chosen the titles carefully based on recent 50 game benchmarks. The goal today is to test all current generation AMD and Nvidia GPUs to establish FPS performance and using that data, create some cost per frame comparisons.

If you need evidence of that, just go back and check our GPU pricing update for May 2021 when the 3070 was closer to $1,600(!).Īnyway, for those of you who are now ready to buy, and aren't willing to hold out for next gen products to arrive – because let's be honest, pricing will almost certainly be inflated and availability will be poor around launch day – what should you buy now? For that, we've come up with some fresh data and created a cost per frame analysis.
So while pricing still sucks compared to 2019, it could be worse, a lot worse. Then again, we do believe that if gamers had the opportunity of buying an RTX 3070 for $730 or an RX 6700 XT for $570 earlier this year, they would have jumped at it.
We've been monitoring GPU prices for well over a year now and it's great to see prices getting closer and closer to the MSRP.īut as we mentioned in that feature, it's hard to say just how exciting that is for prospective buyers considering most of these products are now 18 months old and will likely be superseded by the end of this year by much more powerful next-gen hardware. For those who missed it, we recently published our GPU pricing update for April 2022, which saw prices for graphics cards continue to trend in the right direction.
