If you’re just starting your research on a new graphics card, you probably have no idea where to start. This is why we’ve decided to put together a graphics card comparison chart ranking each of the latest graphics cards based on its performance capabilities.
The comparison chart below is based on research from multiple review sites as well as performance numbers gathered from own reviews and testing. Keep in mind that each of the graphics card vendors have their own preferred game development partners, so in some rare instances in specific games, a graphics card from one vendor may outperform a higher ranked graphics cards from another vendor.
We plan to keep this GPU hierarchy regularly maintained, so please let us know what you’d like to see included. If there are any errors on this chart, please let us know so we can correct it. Currently we have all the latest graphics card that were released by the major vendors and we plan to include any upcoming graphics cards as well. These will be labeled “rumored” until reviews from reputable sites and/or our own internal testing is conducted.
