We're recapping the best & worst GPUs in 2023, which weirdly includes many GPUs from 2019 and 2020 -- but they're still around and price drops have made them relevant. This graphics card round-up is focused on a gaming perspective, which means we're considering primarily the rasterization and ray tracing performance, with some discussion about drivers as it pertains to Intel's Arc GPUs. The topics include video cards in the $100 to $200 price range, $200 to $300, $300 to $400, $400 to $750, and then $750 and up, where the RTX 4090 has sadly received price increases lately.
The most relevant GPUs to discussion are the Intel Arc A750, AMD's RX 6650 XT, RX 6700 XT & 6750 XT, and the RX 7900 XT (though we discuss some others, like the 6800 series), while NVIDIA's currently are the RTX 4090 and RTX 4070, with some discussion of the RTX 4070 Ti (although hesitation everywhere between the 4060 Ti and 4090 due to impending refreshes that may affect value soon).

I would have liked to see the Vram capacity in the charts so people dont buy say the 3050 to play older games it can run at 4k performance wise but doesnt have the Vram to actually run I will also point out that not having say the 3090 and 3090 ti's make the list's is really dumb For the price of a 4070 ti you can typically get a 3090 or a used 3090 ti which is a better choice for modern games like resident evil remake that will happily birn through all your Vram of which the 3090 and 3090 ti have enough to just ignore the Vram chugging games

In the % difference charts, it would be beneficial to write the GPU name on the left and right side (indicating who takes the win), as it's sometimes difficult to keep track of things and there isn't enough time to read through the chart title/specifics (I understand pausing is an option, but it'd be a QoL thing)

It's worth noting that in a lot of places the 3060 Ti is starting to cost a lot more than even some premium model 4060s. Despite its embarrassing launch it's starting to look like a reasonable upgrade for people with older cards like the 1660.

True although the mem bus width and hence bandwidth neutering that it got causes an infuriating amount of performance variance between games that shouldn't be there. To the point (as hw unboxed showed) that it loses to the 3060 ti in a non insignificant amount of games.. A 192 but bus width 4060 ti with 12gb as it should have been would've actually been massively more acceptable because it would basically be a way more efficient 3070 ti with 12gb of vram. Rn tho u do have the option of mem overclocking which both by nvidia artificially limiting stock mem speed a lot, and the bandwidth starvation, let's you get a good 10% avg fps and ofc much less variance game to game from just a mem oc and if you weren't aware, mem oc's are crazy easy to do and stability test.

Very fascinating to see that after all this time the first-generation Intel Arc cards are actually competitive in the 100-200$ price class. It speaks to Intel dedicating a lot of time and resources supporting Alchemist after its bad launch, as well as it speaks to Nvidia (and AMD to an extent) continuing to abandon the lower price segment.

@@b4rs629 The RX 6800, at it's current price, is THE card to get for anyone who hangs on to their hardware for a long time. Precisely the same performance and TDP as the 7700XT, but 16GB VRAM and $50 cheaper. Having lots of VRAM for the modder scene's texture packs can keep old games looking fresh for a long time, and texture quality doesn't impact performance. If your friend stuck with 1080p then this card will serve him well for a very long time.

Hey GN wanted to say thanks again for your recent videos re-visiting AM4 and other platforms to show upgrade value paths. Because I was a chad nerd and watched them all end-to-end, I was recently able to give more informed advice to a buddy who was still rocking AM4 with a 1700X. Sure enough when I pulled up the support page for the mobo, with the latest BIOS it yields support for the 5800X3D. You're doing your company and consumers a real solid by staying focused applying your data skills towards relevant use cases for contemporary upgrade paths, bravo. I personally maintain and build many PCs for friends and family so this is helping me keep things out of landfills, and money in bank account rather than always buying new.

With rising popularity of handheld PCs, I have a strong feeling there is gonna be a major shift in focus for game developers, you would not want to exclude a majority base of players from playing your game at its best and with the increased prices more and more people are left with low to mid range cards or even older high end stuff. Game developers specially triple A will be focusing on a more accessible experience rather then chasing eye candy as a selling point which turns out, is not all the great selling point after all. We already kind of seen this shift take place albeit at a slower pace.

While there sure aremore people buying mid and low end cards, or mobile systems, or consoles, high end card are also at a historic hight. Yes, there is a slight drop in market share for the upper end cards, although not all that big, even the the 980 and 1080 days the absolute majority did not buy those cards.

Only the Intel arc750 has the same power as an RTX 3060Ti including ray tracing, the bad thing is its fcking drivers that sometimes make the PC crash and not perform well in old and even modern games (Starfield), but Intel is also behind in technologies such as AMD's FSR and Nvidia's DLSS and their frame generation versions that serve to increase fps. That is to say that if Intel tomorrow solved the problem with its drivers and presented new AI technologies to increase the performance of its cards, they would be a very good purchase option and a rival to fear for AMD and Nvidia, but for now buy an Intel ARC It would be like using Linux without knowing anything about commands, that is, you will have to fight with it to make it work correctly.

@@X3455. The 750 is closer to the regular 3060 than the 3060ti; even the 7780 generally doesn't do nearly as well as the 3060ti. For me, I think this first generation from Intel was great for working out the kinks for their cards, both in hardware and software. Assuming they make a 2nd generation, I would hope to see some more improvements on both aspects, as well as releasing a couple higher-end cards. At the moment, they are really only competitive from a cost/performance standpoint: if you want to actually play anything relatively new at relatively high settings, then none of the Intel cards will suffice. They are great if you are fine with lower fps, or with lowered settings, but they absolutely require a compromise somewhere. Unless Intel really pulls out all the stops for a 2nd generation of cards, it likely won't be until the 3rd generation that they really hit their stride, at the very least. I would actually find it *highly* likely that they could be much more competitive than AMD, when you consider how much AMD fucked up taking advantage of pricing models compared to Nvidia during the last couple years. AMD could have taken a *MASSIVE* portion of the market by dropping their prices an extra $100 or so on all cards, simply by virtue of not pricing out huge sections of the market. If Intel can keep its good pricing, while also offering higher-powered cards - even if that meant relying more heavily on their CPU profits, with little profit from the GPU end - that would be a very easy way for them to bump up their market share considerably.

But it even turned out that naming vs. performance wasn't the biggest problem. Turns out size matters and most modern high performance cards are simply ridiculous. Ended up buying a RTX 4070 FE - for the simple reason that it was the fastest card that I could find that would fit my case (barely). Tight fit is an understatement. And this having a "full-size tower" from a big OEM. But of course they still follow official PCI specs.

Bought a 2080 ti in 2019 before the pandemic and it was, I think, the best timing (unintentionally) to buy that card. For what I bought it for, it's an amazing card and top of the line at the time. And it's still running everything I play amazingly. The only downside is that I want to upgrade to current top tier tech, but I see no reason to because my card is good enough. I like buying the best of the best, but it's just not worth it. I got my card (built in waterblock included) for $1300. Until I can get a top or near top tier card for around that price, I have no reason to buy another tip tier card. It's seriously looking like I'm gonna just wait til the mid tier cards are 4k gaming capable.
