With its RX 6000 cards, AMD is more competitive than it has been in years with Nvidia and its current-gen Ampere cards, like the GeForce RTX 3080, in general performance. There are hundreds of graphics cards from dozens of manufacturers, but only two companies actually make the GPUs that power these components: Nvidia and AMD - though Intel's Xe Graphics has started to ship for laptops and should also come to desktops in the next few months. Nvidia and AMD GPUs (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) Graphics cards don't typically have large amounts of overclocking headroom, usually only 5-10%. If you need better performance, buy a more-powerful card.

If your monitor has triple-digit refresh rates, you'll need a powerful card and processor to reach its full potential. So be sure to pair your GPU with the best gaming monitor for your needs.

Many mainstream cards are sufficient for gaming at 1080p resolutions at between 30-60 fps, but you'll need a high-end card for resolutions at or near 4K resolution with high in-game settings on the most demanding titles. If you spend all your money on graphics and don't opt for one of the best CPUs, your system might score well on synthetic benchmarks but won't do as well in real game play (due to lower minimum frame rates).

Why you can trust Tom's Hardware Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. However, note that next-generation GPUs are around the corner, like the Nvidia 'Ada' RTX 40-series and AMD's RDNA3, so keep that in mind. After 18 months of extreme prices, most cards can now be found online for only 20–30% over MSRP, sometimes less. Thankfully, the supply and GPU prices on Nvidia's RTX 30-series cards as well as AMD's RX 6000 cards continues to improve.

Unfortunately, the process of figuring out how to buy a GPU can be intimidating. The graphics card is even more important than the CPU. Getting the best graphics card is key if you're looking to buy the best gaming PC or looking to build a PC on your own.
