The 10 best graphics cards in the world
Upgrade your gaming rig in a huge way
As PC gamers, we know the importance of a capable graphics card. Sure, your and even your mouse matter. But nothing determines how far you can push your visual settings up quite like the GPU. The only problem is that with so many different cards to choose from, each one claiming pixel-pushing perfection, the decision alone can be taxing.
The simple solution then is to go for the best of the best, the cream of the crop. In other words, the most expensive. For those of us who don't want to shell out the cost of a car on AMD's 8K-capable Radeon Pro SSG, the solution is to aim for the best bang-for-buck deal on a set budget. Keep in mind, however, that you'll need to choose the rest of your parts wisely once you've found your perfect-match GPU.
If you have an Ultra HD monitor for instance, you won't survive without a high-end graphics card to make the most of it. On the other hand, there's no point in going all-in on the latest Titan X if it's being bottlenecked by an old CPU or feeding a feeble screen. In that case, you'd be more inclined to gnab one ofAMD's low-cost GPUs or even Nvidia's (VR-ready) $249 (about £192, AU$331)GeForce GTX 1060.
With all that in mind, here's our definitive guide to the best graphics cards money can buy. Afterwards, if you want to see how your own card compares, have a crack at our benchmarking guide.
1. EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition
Unparalleled performance
Stream Processors: 2,560 | Core Clock: 1,607MHz | Memory: 8GB GDDR5X |Memory Clock: 7,010MHz | Power Connectors: 1 x 6-pin, 1 x 8-pin | Length:266.7mm | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI, 1 x DVI
Makes 4K gaming viable Great all around performance
Expensive launch price
Aftermarkets will do more for less
If you want proper entry into 4K gaming, the Titan X no longer reigns supreme. With the launch of Nvidia's Pascal architecture, you can get the performance of two 980Tis for a fraction of what you'd spend on an EVGA Titan X SuperClock. Of course, no graphics card is perfect. This GTX 1080 falls prey to an early adoption tax in what Nvidia calls the "Founders Edition" model, based on the reference set by the company and manufactured by EVGA. Though you may want to wait for the inevitable launch of more affordable, more powerful GTX 1080 GPUs from third parties, the GTX 1080 is undoubtedly the best in its class right now – as if it's even a contest.
2. Zotac GeForce GTX 980Ti AMP Extreme Edition
Nearly 1080 power without the 1080 cost
Stream Processors: 2816 | Core Clock: 1253MHz | Memory: 6GB | Memory Clock: 7220MHz | Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin | Length: 267mm | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI, 1 x DVI
Even closer to GTX 1080 with OCNearly equal to GTX 1080
Nearly costs as much as GTX 1080
Only worth it for high-res gaming
Though it can't match the GTX 1080 in terms of video memory (6GB versus 8GB GDDR5X), the GTX 980Ti offers a higher clock speed. And, with the right amount of overclocking, it can even beat that card. Cards with the "AMP" moniker usually mean business, and this card lives up to its name. It'll let you game in resolutions up to 4K, even if can't reach that glorious 60 fps standard at that pixel count. The 980Ti AMP Extreme Edition may be better value than the GTX 1080 Founders Edition, but it's far from cheap, costing around the same as a budget (or entry level, mid-range) gaming PC.
3. Gigabyte Radeon R9 Fury X
Uses an all-in-one liquid cooling system and new High-Bandwidth Memory
Stream Processors: 4096 | Core Clock: 1050MHz | Memory: 4GB | Memory Clock: 1000MHz | Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin | Length: 195mm | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI
Over 4,000 stream processors High bandwidth memory
Only 4GB of HBM, struggles at 4K
Water-reservoir takes up space
If you're urging for a GPU that does it all, the R9 Fury X is the best AMD has to offer. Hauling an all-in-one liquid cooling system and the latest high-bandwidth memory technology may seem like a heavy workload, but Gigabyte's Radeon R9 Fury X pulls it off all the same.
There is a catch, however, to what appears to be a future-proof gaming spectacle. Not only will you need space for an extra radiator-fan combo a la the liquid cooler, but 4GB of HBM memory is awfully limited compared to the 8GB of GDDR5X you can get with the GTX 1080 for a similar price.
On the upside, the Fury X can easily handle anything at 1080p and in most cases even 1440p. Throw a 4K game in the mix, though, and it's a different story altogether.
4. Sapphire Radeon R9 Nano
Tiny graphics card packs a big punch
Stream Processors: 4096 | Core Clock: 1000MHz | Memory: 4GB | Memory Clock: 1000MHz | Power Connectors: 1 x 8-pin | Length: 152mm | Outputs: 1 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI, 2 x DVI
Beautifully small
Low power consumption
Small size doesn't make it cheaper
Not quite as powerful as the Fury X
Building a small PC no longer means passing on power thanks to new graphics cards like the Sapphire Radeon R9 Nano. AMD's dinky video card is short enough to squeeze into the smallest of PC cases without sacrificing the raw grunt that you get from high-end cards. Highly efficient for a Fiji GPU, it has the same 4GB of 4096-bit HBM memory found in the Fury X, with an identical number of texture units and ROPs. The clock speed is 5% lower, but on the plus side you won't need as huge power supply to go with it due to the power envelope dropping to just 175W.

5. MSI GeForce 1070 Gaming X
Titan X performance at a GTX 980 cost
Stream Processors: 1,920 | Core Clock: 1,607MHz | Memory: 8GB GDDR5 |Memory Clock: 8,108MHz | Power Connectors: 1 x 6-pin, 1 x 8-pin | Length:279mm | Outputs: 3 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DVI
Strong 1440p performance
Affordable reference card
Founder's Edition still too pricey
We all know that 1440p is the new 1080p, and so does Nvidia. That's why it's taken the new Pascal architecture and devised the GTX 1070, complete with a 1,607MHz base overclock and 8GB of 8,108MHz, GDDR5 RAM. What's more, this VR-ready card is more powerful than a Titan X for a fraction of the price. Still, while you'll be able to play everything at the highest settings at humblebrag-worthy frame rates at either 1080p or 1440p resolution, the £410 (around $584 or AUS$792) price tag of the MSI's 'Founders Edition' Gaming X card is notably more expensive than what we'll see in the coming months from AIBs, or add-in boards.

6. Sapphire Radeon R9 Tri-X 390X
AMD's card has the GTX 980 in its sights
Stream Processors: 2816 | Core Clock: 1055MHz | Memory: 8GB | Memory Clock: 6000MHz | Power Connectors: 2 x 8-pin | Length: 308mm | Outputs: 1 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI, 2 x DVI
Triple-fan cooler from Sapphire Lower price than GTX 980
GDDR5 memory rather than HBM
375W power consumption
When it comes to cost, the Radeon R9 Tri-X 390X sits somewhere between Nvidia's GTX 970 and 980 cards. It often gets the better of the former card, though the 970 performs better in some games. The Tri-X 390X produces blistering frame rates at resolutions up to 2,560 x 1,440 with all graphic details dialled up to 10. Featuring 2,816 stream processors and a core clock speed of 1,055MHz, it doesn't quite pack the muscle required for 4K gaming unless you're playing lesser demanding titles.
price $409.99
7. MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming Edition
Value meets performance in Nvidia's capable card
Stream Processors: 1664 | Core Clock: 1140MHz | Memory: 4GB | Memory Clock: 7010MHz | Power Connectors: 1 x 6-pin, 1 x 8-pin | Length: 269mm |Outputs: 1 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI, 2 x DVI
Still equipped to handle 1440p Best performance for under £300
Struggles with high detail at 4K
Still a whole lot of cash
A variant of one of the most popular graphics cards around, the GTX 970 Gaming edition is a 1080p monster. You could even get away with gaming at 2,560 x 1,440, though you'll have to temper expectations when it comes to 4K. Featuring 1,664 stream processors, a core clock of 1,140MHz and 4GB of memory, the GTX 970 offers the mainstream performance you may be looking for without breaking the bank.
Price $304.99
8. AMD Radeon RX 480
Virtual reality on a budget
Stream processors: 2,304 | Core Clock: 1,120MHz | Memory: 8GB GDDR5 |Memory Clock: 8,000MHz | Power connections: 1x 6-pin | Length: 241mm |Outputs: 1 x HDMI, 3 x DisplayPort
Exceptional 1080p performance
VR-ready
GTX 980 performance for less
Wattman clearly still in beta
Think you need an expensive GTX 1080 to enjoy VR games on an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive? Think again. Considering its low price point, AMD's Radeon RX 480 is an impressive performer at 1080p and, in some cases, even 1440p. While it may not reach 60fps, the holy grail of PC gaming, in every game at the highest settings, the RX 480 does manage to push out a few frames over 30 with the graphics cranked all the way up in games like Rise of the Tomb Raider and Ashes of the Singularity – both of which notably run using the latest DirectX 12 API from Microsoft. Moreover, if you're interested in overclocking with AMD's new Wattman utility, the RX 480 can move faster than a GTX 980. For the price, it's unparalleled.

9. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060
One of Nvidia's best price-to-performance cards ever
Stream Processors: 1,280 | Core Clock: 1,506MHz | Memory: 8GB GDDR5 |Memory Clock: 8,000MHz | Power Connectors: 1 x 6-pin | Length: 249.5mm |Outputs: 1 x DisplayPort, 1 x HDMI, 1 x Dual Link-DVI
Brilliant 1080p performance
Great overclocker
No SLI compatibility
Founder's Edition Price
Though it might bear resemblance to the GTX 1070 and 1080, the £275/$300 GTX1060 Founder's Edition is more aligned with Nvidia's more expensive GeForce 980. Thanks to AMD's competitively priced RX 480, which promises both 1080p and VR gaming at an aggressive price point, Nvidia was hurried into launching a similar offering. Enter the GTX 1060: a mid-range graphics card that can handle just about anything at a full HD resolution and even some titles at 1440p without too much of an impact on the frame rate. With most of us still clinging onto sub-4K resolution TVs and monitors, the GTX 1060 gives PC gamers a sweet spot absent the need to upgrade your displays.

10. EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti SC
A graphics chip that's super (and super cheap)
Stream Processors: 640 | Core Clock: 1176MHz | Memory: 2GB | Memory Clock: 5400MHz | Power Connectors: None | Length: 170mm | Outputs: 1 x HDMI, 1 x DVI, 1 x VGA
Great value at under £100
Fine to at run 1080p games
More cash spent = more performance
Can't handle the latest games
Based on Nvidia's Maxwell architecture, the GTX 750Ti SC is an affordable card that still packs the latest technology. This entry-level offering is still up to the task of playing the latest games if you're happy with playing on Low or Medium quality settings at 1080p resolution, and because it's small it's easy to drop into a basic PC to give it some extra graphical grunt. Just don't expect it to work miracles.
