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 testing and comparisons for you so that our best graphics card guide will steer you towards the right card for your needs without the jargon.
The best graphics card overall is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090. Yes, it costs at least $2,000 but it is by far the fastest GPU and has access to Nvidia's latest DLSS 4 multi-frame gen tech, which you can learn more about in the how to choose a graphics card section of this guide. If, like most of us, cost is a consideration for you, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is the card to go for, as it offers fantastic performance for its $599 MSRP. Meanwhile, for a budget card, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB is the one to go for, if you can find it at MSRP. Read on to find plenty of other options to suit other budgets, and be sure to check the Also tested section for reviews of cards that didn't quite make the top of our list.
