What is the best graphics card? Finding a new gaming GPU can mean wading through a swamp of often baffling numbers in specs lists, as well as weighing up the pros and cons of the different feature sets from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel. Fear not, though, as we’ve done all the hard work for you. Our best graphics card guide will steer you towards the right card for your needs, whatever your budget.

The best graphics card for most is the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, as it offers fantastic performance for its price, if you can find it at its MSRP of $599 (or just over). Meanwhile, the best graphics card overall is, of course, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090. It might cost over $2,000, but it’s by far the fastest GPU out there. Meanwhile, for a budget card, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB or Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB are both great options.
