The best graphics card for 1080p gaming Compute Units: 4,864 | Core Clock: 1.41 GHz (1.67 GHz boost) | Memory: 8 GB GDDR6 | Clock: 14Gbps | Outputs:
HDMI 2.1, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a Power Connectors: 1x PCIe 8-pin (adapter to 1x 12-pin included) Excellent 1080p performance Ray tracing performance is solid Only entry-level 4K performance

Is AMD no longer the king of great value GPUs? The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti certainly threatens that claim with its price to performance ratio. The
newest arrival in the RTX 3000 line, this graphics card punches way above its weight class, delivering a performance that could rival that of the RTX 2080 Super while keeping its price tag incredibly affordable for most people. And, thats with impressive ray tracing included. 1080p gaming has never been this good and this affordable.

The top of the 1080p world Stream Processors: 2,304 | Core Clock: 1,355MHz (1,560MHz boost) | Memory: 6GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 1 x 8-pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x HDMI 2.0 Excellent performance Affordable No ray tracing

If you're looking for an AMD equivalent to the GTX 1660 Super, the RX 5600 XT is the card for you. AMD's GPUs have aimed towards the lower end of the
market of the last few years, but Nvidia has continued to adapt. However, the RX 5600 XT, retailing for $279, manages to match, or even beat the RTX 2060
at a much lower price.

A significant disadvantage of the RX 5600 XT is an issue that has plagued AMD for over a decade: iffy drivers and VBIOS. The RX 5600 XT has already had VBIOS drama, and AMD's reputation for having unstable GPUs might turn some buyers off. But, if you're willing to take that risk, you'll be hard-pressed to find a card with a better performance-to-value ratio ar 1080p than the RX 5600 XT.

The best 1440p graphics card right now Compute Units: 5,888 | Core Clock:
1.50 GHz (1.73 GHz boost) | Memory: 8 GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 1x PCIe 8-pin (adapter to 1x 12-pin included) | Outputs: HDMI
2.1, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a Amazing performance Best value graphics card today Awesome ray tracing performance Same inflated prices as Turing Required
12-pin power connector

The best graphics card on the market for 1440p gaming, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 delivers excellent performance on par with the RTX 2080 Ti even
without costing an arm and a leg. In fact, the RTX 3070 is capable enough to not only deliver smooth 1440p gaming, but also bring 4K gaming to the mainstream for the first time. This means its also a stunning 1080p GPU as well. And did we mention the fact that this GPU is affordable too? With it, youre not overpaying for a powerful GPU to play at 1080p.

For when you need to go overkill CUDA Cores: 2,560 | Core clock: 1,605 | Memory: 8GB GDDR6 | Memory clock: 14Gbps | Power connectors: 6 pin + 8 pin | Outputs: 1 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI, 1 x DVI-DL Awesome performance Ray
tracing works wonders Expensive for 1080p

Gaming at 144Hz or 240Hz is GPU intensive, even at 1080p. If you're looking
to get triple-digit frames while gaming, but don't want to compromise on fidelity, you'll need a powerful GPU. With an MSRP of $499, the RTX 2070
Super represents the best value you can get if you have a 1080p monitor capable of high framerates.

While an RTX 2080 Super or RTX 2080 Ti can squeeze even more frames from
games at ultra settings, the extra money for those cards isn't really worth
it if you're gaming at 1080p. With the RTX 2070 Super, you shouldn't have too much trouble hitting 144 fps in games like Overwatch and CS:GO. Most other titles won't dip under 100 fps at 1080p with this card, making it a beast for gaming at this resolution.

5. AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT

Entry level, but worth it Stream Processors: 1,408 | Core Clock: 1,717MHz (1,845MHz boost) | Memory: 4/8GB GDDR6 | Memory Clock: 14Gbps | Power Connectors: 1 x 8-pin | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x HDMI 2.0 Solid performance Super affordable Not the fastest on the block

The RX 5500 XT gives decent 1080p performance at a ludicrously low price. There are two versions of this card, one with 4GB of VRAM at $169 and one
with 8GB of VRAM at $199. The more VRAM, the better, of course, but if you're looking at a budget card like this, it's good to have the option to save even more money. Before you purchase, realize that 4GB of VRAM is at the extreme low end of what you'll want for modern gaming.

The RX 5500 XT is mind-blowing only for its low price. This card can play
many games at 1080p/60fps, but it'll struggle with ultra settings on
demanding titles. However, this card is an excellent introduction to PC
gaming for those who don't want to get into four-figures to build their rig - especially if youre into esports titles like Overwatch or Fortnite.
