Graphics Card – which card to choose?
We've tested all of the current Nvidia and AMD graphics cards and ranked them all according to GPU performance benchmarks.
Our hierarchy of GPU performance test results ranks all current and previous generation graphics cards by performance, using a game test suite. Whether, whether it's about playing games, or performing advanced creative work, such as 4K video editing. Your graphics card usually plays the biggest role in determining performance, and even the best gaming processors rank second. Remember, that the table below is based solely on GPU performance benchmarks. We have a separate article, which lists the best graphics cards, based on all factors, including the price, graphics card power consumption and overall performance. But what, if for example you are shopping and want to know, or AMD RX 5600 XT is faster than Nvidia GTX 1660 Super, what if yes, to you home? To help you decide, which graphics card do you need, we have created the below GPU hierarchy table, which shows all the current and newest layouts from fastest to slowest. We assigned a score to each of them based on our current test suite of nine gaming-based GPU benchmarks, operating in "medium" and "ultra" settings at 1080p resolutions, 1440p i 4K. The fastest card for comparison purposes, based on a combination of all nine GPU tests, is normalized to 100 percent, and all others are judged against her.
It should be noted, that the new Nvidia graphics processors ( GeForce RTX 3090 i GeForce RTX 3080 i GeForce RTX 3070 ) coming next month, but we don't have them yet, so they're not on the charts. Based on the claims of Nvidia, all three will score higher in GPU benchmarks than RTX 2080 You, thanks to improvements in the Ampere architecture . AMD's Big Navi is also expected soon , and the latest rumors point to an October release date. The Intel Xe Discrete HPG GPU currently only has an initial release date at 2021 r.
A good graphics card will allow you to play the latest games with a smooth frame rate, returning impressive GPU test results. Get one of the best cards and you can enjoy these games in very high resolutions or frames per second, with special effects turned on. Drop down to the middle and bottom of the list, and you will have to start choosing settings, for acceptable performance in regular game and GPU testing. And integrated graphics … Well, we tested it as well and the results are not satisfactory. (See these entries at the very bottom of the list).

We are focusing on the "executive summary" here and omitted the graphs of individual games, as well as several GPUs, which are not fully eligible – in particular, integrated graphic solutions , because in most cases they are only tested at 720p. We also omitted Titan Xp and the older Titan X (Maxwell), giving us round charts 40 kart, to make viewing easier.
