graphics cards ranked by value january 2023 toms hardware

The best graphics card can mean a lot of different things — fastest card, best value, best card for a specific price, etc. And some people might refuse to buy an AMD card, or an Nvidia card. But prices change all the time, and lately, they’ve been on the rise, particularly as previous-gen hardware starts to get phased out. We wanted to look at the current and previous generation GPUs, ranked by current value, for everything that’s readily available in brand-new form.

That last bit is important because it means older cards (RTX 20-series and RX 5000-series) are disqualified. However, we do have a few of the Turing generation Nvidia cards included as they’re still available at Newegg (at reasonable prices). All of the performance data is taken from our GPU benchmarks hierarchy, and we’ve broken things down into rasterization and ray tracing rankings. We’ll also have the three GPU vendor rankings after that, in case you’re only interested in seeing how the various GPUs from one company stack up.

For the rasterization rankings, we’re sorting by the 1080p column, which penalizes the fastest GPUs. If you’re only interested in 4K or 1440p performance, some of the cards change places, though the overall standings remain relatively consistent.
