The current 2022/2023 results use an Alder Lake Core i9-12900K testbed. Factors including price, graphics card power consumption, overall efficiency, and features aren't factored into the rankings here.

The following tables sort everything solely by our performance-based GPU gaming benchmarks, at 1080p "ultra" for the main suite and at 1080p "medium" for the DXR suite. We also have the legacy GPU hierarchy (without benchmarks, sorted by theoretical performance) for reference purposes. On page two, you'll find our 2020–2021 benchmark suite, which has all of the previous generation GPUs running our older test suite running on a Core i9-9900K testbed.

Meanwhile, Intel's Arc Alchemist architecture brings a third player into the dedicated GPU party, even if it's more of a competitor for the previous generation midrange offerings. AMD's RDNA 3 architecture powers the RX 7000-series, with five desktop cards filling out the product stack. Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture powers its latest generation RTX 40-series, with new features like DLSS 3 Frame Generation - and for all RTX cards, Nvidia DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction is coming this fall. The RX 7800 XT makes a good case for itself as the top $500 GPU pick. We've added the Radeon RX 7800 XT, Radeon RX 7700 XT, and GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB to the hierarchy and updated the charts. The results are all without enabling DLSS, FSR, or XeSS on the various cards, mind you. Those of course require a ray tracing capable GPU so only AMD's RX 7000/6000-series, Intel's Arc, and Nvidia's RTX cards are present.

Our full GPU hierarchy using traditional rendering (aka, rasterization) comes first, and below that we have our ray tracing GPU benchmarks hierarchy. The latest updates to our hierarchy include the AMD RX 7800 XT, AMD RX 7700 XT, and the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. Our recent reviews use the updated test PC, but our hierarchy continues to use the older PC. We're nearly finished retesting all of the ray-tracing capable GPUs on a slightly revamped test suite, using a Core i9-13900K instead of a Core i9-12900K. Current GPU prices are slowly trending down as well, though the new cards are all holding relatively steady. Whether it's playing games, running artificial intelligence workloads like Stable Diffusion, or doing professional video editing, your graphics card typically plays the biggest role in determining performance - even the best CPUs for Gaming take a secondary role. Our GPU benchmarks hierarchy ranks all the current and previous generation graphics cards by performance, and Tom's Hardware exhaustively benchmarks current and previous generation GPUs, including all of the best graphics cards.
