At the end we'll wrap with a beginner FAQ on how to choose a GPU for gaming for anyone wanting more detail on buying their first graphics card. So, after my latest look over the current state of things in the market, read on if you want my thoughts on which are the current best GPUs for gaming and VR (virtual reality) within different categories/budgets. Certain graphics cards can also make more sense than another depending on what you're doing with it (eg your resolution, which exact game or types of games you're playing, if you want special features like DLSS or NVidia's slightly superior streaming encoder, and so on). This also makes comparing gaming GPUs difficult as tech analysts/reviewers, traditionally you would compare MSRPs when making judgements on which card is better value than another, but today that's out the window and prices are all over the place (and constantly in flux).īut if you really need or desperately want a GPU and cannot continue waiting for prices to normalize (if they ever will), though it's difficult to compare cards as I said there still are certain models that are better buys than others in any given price category at any given moment in time. Demand for GPUs is still very high across the board across multiple industries, so the reality today is that buying a new GPU means paying more than what it launched for, as no GPU model that is in demand right now (read: most of them) is selling at their MSRP. That said, the hunt for the best GPU for gaming can still be quite frustrating, as g etting a card at (or near) its original MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) is still a tough ask. Early this year we've also witnessed the launch of new entry-level GPUs from NVidia and AMD at long last, though the wait hasn't been all that worth it as the RTX 3050 and RX 6500 XT didn't exactly blow us away (they are poor value for money relative to past entry-level GPUs).īut budget GPUs aside, the overall GPU market is definitely looking better in 2022 than last year, with prices slightly more affordable across the board (as well as availability as I mentioned). In the past few months things have slowly started getting better, with graphics cards now being easier to find in stock when compared to most of last year which was a near impossible time to find a good gaming GPU for sale partly because cryptocurrency miners were scooping up every last one due to the rise in profitability of mining coins like Ethereum. Unless your home is the cliche rock that people somehow manage to live under, the GPU market has been in a funk for what seems an eternity now.
Choosing the best GPU for gaming or VR can be a painful process for your wallet.
