Sparkle Arc A750 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 3,584 shaders | 2,200 MHz boost | $199.99 $189.99 at Newegg (save $10)
The Intel discrete graphics cards have only gotten more relevant since their inauspicious launch. With successive driver releases increasing performance and a significant price drop, the A750 is one of the most tempting budget GPUs. It’s a bit more power-hungry than AMD’s RX 6600 but is a capable 1080p card knocking both RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 out of the value GPU stakes. Be warned, however, that some driver issues do still exist.

ASRock RX 6600 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 1,792 shaders | 2,491 MHz boost | $199.99 at Newegg
The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU now that its price properly reflects its status. It usually fluctuates between $190 and $200, and even at $200, we’re getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at 1080p. PC gaming doesn’t have to cost a fortune, you know?

With the RX 6600 XT stock starting to dwindle, it seems like the faster RX 6650 XT is taking its place as one of the best budget GPUs around. It’s an 8GB GPU with the same core specs as the RX 6600 XT but has a slightly higher clock speed boost. We like the newer RX 7600 more, but it also costs a little more.

As the budget baby of the RDNA 3 family, the RX 7600 faces a lot of competition. Not just from Intel and Nvidia, but from AMD’s previous generation of cards too. At this price, though, it’s quite a bit cheaper than the RX 6700 XT and in some games, it performs nearly as well. It’s not the most exciting of graphics cards, though.

You can score a whole heap of memory here for under $300. Admittedly, the rest of the GPU isn’t quite on par with the competition from AMD and Nvidia in terms of performance consistency. But if you need lots of memory for other reasons, this is the way to go.

If you must have Ada Lovelace, Nvidia’s latest gaming architecture, the cheapest way in is this RTX 4060. Faster than the RTX 3060 but the price suggests it should have been better. You do get the full DLSS 3.5 suite, though, and it’s pretty decent at encoding video for streaming. Nevertheless, we prefer AMD’s RX 7600 or last-gen RX 6700.

Coming in at the same price as the plain ol’ RX 6700 XT (which happens infrequently), this version comes with higher core and memory clocks. That generally makes for higher frame rates in games, though that does depend on what you’re playing. It’s worth a look, especially for all that speedy VRAM.

The RTX 4060 Ti might have had a bit of a rocky reception with that 8GB of VRAM but we found it performed very well in our review, and it makes a very solid mid-range performer, particularly with the ability to take advantage of DLSS 3 and Frame Generation. This is a small twin-fan model that should still run cool and quiet and delivers a lot of gaming performance in a super-efficient fashion.

The Radeon RX 7700 XT might lose out to its bigger brother, the RX 7800 XT, but if you’re building a system on a budget it still makes a great mid-range card for solid 1440p gaming, as we found in our review of the Sapphire model.

At this price point, the best card used to be the RX 6800 XT but these days we have deals like this one, where the newer 7800 XT has the same price tag. It’s only a little bit faster than the card it’s replaced, and admittedly it’s not a huge discount, but you’re still getting a lotta GPU for the money.

The RTX 4070 is a popular card and can be difficult to find at a discount, but it’s important to remember that this price is way cheaper than it was at launch. You’re getting nearly RTX 3080 performance but with all those nice RTX 40 features. This model uses the traditional 8-pin PCIe power connector, rather than the new 12VHPWR one, which makes it far easier to install as an upgrade.

The RX 7900 GRE is one of the more recent releases out of AMD, at least in the global market. It started out as a special edition for the Chinese gaming market, but it was rolled out globally to help the red team compete with the green guys. It’s a good deal, too, being big chunks of the RX 7900 XT but with a little bit less of everything, to make a very performant but cheaper GPU.

Tricky to answer, so check out the benchmarks in our RTX 4070 Super review to see if it’s the right choice for you. One way or another though, this is still the cheapest version we’ve found to date.

Seeing a bunch of RX 7900 XTs selling for well less than the original MSRP is a welcome sight, and while they might get overshadowed by some of Nvidia’s greatest, they deliver a huge amount of performance. What we like about the Sapphire in particular is that it should run quieter than your average RX 7900 XT. We all could do with a little less noise from our PC.

Just like with the RTX 4080, it used to be hard to find AMD’s RX 7900 XTX heavily discounted down below its MSRP price. But good deals can now be found and we’ll happily take a substantial discount on this high-end GPU. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is stupidly fast and there are plenty of good cooling designs for this card, including this one.
