The Sky is Falling on GPU Prices, Hoorah!

For Spring 2023, there’s nothing but good news for gamers and content creators who want to get their hands on a great GPU. Prices have dropped like a rock from their highs in mid-2021, which means that performance per dollar has never been higher.

Despite the good times, you still have to be an informed buyer, because older gear continues to sit at inflated prices. For example, in the mainstream market, you could end up paying far too much for really old Nvidia cards. We recommend AMD’s Radeon RX 6600 and 6700 lineup exclusively for gamers on a budget. It isn’t even a close call.

For high-end gamers, things are more competitive. Next-gen starts at the $600 pricepoint with Nvidia’s new GeForce RTX 4070 12GB. It’s everything gamers have wanted from Nvidia: amazing performance that beats top-rated last-gen GPUs, along with a lower price and far lower power consumption. Jumping up to $800, we switch over to AMD, where the RX 7900 XT 20GB is simply unbeatable.

Now, when we step up to the truly elite, it’s easy: at $1000, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB offers shocking power, for $1200, you get the more efficient and slightly more advanced GeForce RTX 4080 16GB, which has the main advantage of better Ray Tracing performance. And then if you simply must have it all, you go for the RTX 4090 24GB. It is so far ahead of anything else that it might as well be next year’s best GPU!
