I've listed the specific graphics cards we recommend in different categories below, but I've also lined up the most relevant GPUs of this latest generation (with a few guest appearances by still worthwhile last-gen cards) all in order of gaming performance. The only last-gen card we still really rate is the RX 6700 XT, which still offers a decent spec and performance for $320. We suggest avoiding the high-end RX 6950 XT and RTX 3090 Ti nowadays, as these cards are generally being pushed out by similarly priced newer options. That leaves AMD's RX 7600 as the best budget graphics card today, mostly for being a boringly safe pick. When this card drops down to around $200, it's a steal, though the drivers aren't always up to the standard we'd like to see.
And Intel still has a dog in the budget game: the Arc A750. We also met the release of AMD's RX 7600 with a shrug, but at least it's cheap enough now to feel more competitive. Nvidia has a rather uninspired upgrade in the RTX 4060. On the other end of the market, there's not much new to write about. The RTX 4070 Ti also costs a heap more cash than we'd like, but at least it's more reasonable than Nvidia's finest for a perfectly 4K capable card.
Then there's the RTX 4080, which is a bit too pricey for us, and the RTX 4070 Ti.
Nvidia has its RTX 40-series led by the RTX 4090, and that thing really is a beast of massive proportions. For the high-end gamer, you've plenty of new cards to choose from.
