![]() ![]() As you move up the stack of cards, you can play at 2K resolution and higher settings or, with the priciest cards, 4K. What resolution, settings do you want to play at? A low-end budget graphics card can play games at 1080p in medium settings, but if you want to play at ultra settings, you'll need to get at least a mid-range card.When shopping for a graphics card, consider the following. View Deal (opens in new tab) What to Look for in a Graphics Card Deal But with rasterization performance roughly matching the RX 6650 XT, the Arc 700-series unfortunately still looks overpriced. It costs less than the Nvidia card as well, and delivers superior ray tracing performance compared to AMD's GPUs. Performance from Arc GPUs continues to improve, with the A750 and A770 generally beating Nvidia's RTX 3060. There's even an ASRock A750 priced below MSRP, so one of the four potential Intel GPUs qualifies as a sale. At least the Arc A770, A750, and A380 are all available for purchase right now, though the A770 16GB Limited Edition is back ordered (again). Like Nvidia, there aren't really many deals as such on Intel's Arc GPUs. $139 ( ASRock Arc A380 Challenger (opens in new tab)) $274 ( ASRock Arc A750 Challenger (opens in new tab)) $329 ( ASRock Arc A770 8GB Phantom Gaming (opens in new tab)) $329 ( ASRock Phantom Gaming Arc A770 8GB) We wouldn't recommend paying much more than around $650 for an RX 6950 XT given the upcoming cards. That's pushing prices down on the older GPUs, which is what we'd expect, whereas Nvidia prices have shot up to "leave room" for the 30-series. There's also the Radeon RX 7900-series to contend with, priced at $899 and $999 and potentially delivering up to 50% more performance than the RX 6950 XT. Of course, some of those MSRPs were inflated thanks to the GPU shortages last year. The RX 6650 XT at $249 is still a great value as well if you can spend more.Īll of AMD's GPUs are selling below their original MSRPs these days, which they should be considering some of the GPUs are two years old. The RX 6600 dipped as low as $189 on Black Friday, and the cheapest we're seeing is now $209. $129 ( XFX RX 6400 SWFT105 (opens in new tab))ĪMD offers quite a bit more value for your money, and it has some excellent deals in the budget to midrange bracket. $149 ( Sapphire RX 6500 XT Pulse (opens in new tab)) $284 ( ASRock Challenger D Radeon RX 6650) $339 ( ASRock RX 6700 XT Challenger D (opens in new tab)) $554 ( PowerColor RX 6800 XT Red Devil (opens in new tab)) $699 ( ASRock RX 6900 XT Formula OC (opens in new tab)) Most Nvidia cards are still selling above their MSRPs, even when on sale. ![]() ![]() For example, the Peladn RTX 3080 10GB is the cheapest 3080 card around (that's not a used or refurbished model), but that's basically an unknown brand. There are a few cards selling right near MSRP, though they're still questionable. Nvidia's graphics cards - both the new RTX 4090/4080 and the previous generation RTX 30-series - tend to be overpriced. $264 ( MSI RTX 3050 Aero ITX (opens in new tab)) $239 ( Gigabyte RTX 2060 (opens in new tab)) $499 ( Peladn RTX 3070 (opens in new tab)) $739 ( Peladn RTX 3080 10G (opens in new tab)) $1,149 ( Zotac RTX 3080 Ti Trinity OC (opens in new tab)) $1,349 ( Zotac Gaming RTX 3090 Trinity OC)
