Compare GPUs

Start with performance at the resolution you play, then video memory, power draw and size, which decide whether the card fits your case and power supply. Ray tracing and AI compute matter if you use them. Then compare current prices across retailers.

A normalised index for comparing graphics cards across generations and architectures, built mainly from 1440p rasterisation benchmarks. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is calibrated to 1,000 points: a card with 2,000 is roughly twice as fast, one with 500 about half. Ray tracing and AI compute have indices of their own on the same scale.

Running out of VRAM causes stutter and blurry textures however fast the chip is. As a rule of thumb, 8 GB is the floor for 1080p, 12 GB suits 1440p, and 16 GB or more is for 4K and high-resolution textures. Filter by video memory, or require a grade for your resolution.

Offers are refreshed as market snapshots; each offer shows when it was checked. Retail prices can change at any time, so confirm the final price on the retailer's site before buying.

A used card can save a lot, but usually without a warranty. To check a listing, choose Add your deal (or click a price and Try your price), enter the price, set the condition to Used, and compare its Value with new cards that come with a warranty.

Older or cheaper cards often draw far more power. The three-year energy cost uses four hours of daily load at the electricity rate you set (the market's default until you change it). A used card that costs less to buy can cost about the same once the power bill is counted.

Value is a relative score from 0 to 100 under the priorities you choose. Each weighted factor (performance, price, VRAM, power and so on) is compared with the rest of this market, the factors are combined, and the best result in the comparison reads 100. It is a measurement of the current market, not an official rating; the methodology page has the full formula.
