Top 30 Gaming GPUs

Ranked by performance Β· πŸ’° = best value for money

Ranked on raw 3DMark Time Spy graphics score β€” the higher the number, the more frames in real games. Best-value flags the strongest frames-per-dollar pick.

  • Perf 100 = the fastest card here on 3DMark Time Spy; every other score is a share of that. Same-chip cards (e.g. RTX 5090 editions) tie on performance β€” they use the same GPU β€” so price and value break the tie.
  • Value = performance per dollar (0–100). A cheaper card with fewer frames can out-value a flagship β€” that is the πŸ’° pick, shown up top.
  • Only cards with a real, current price and a verified benchmark are ranked β€” no placeholder champions.

Benchmark leaderboards β€” coming soon

CPU & GPU performance rankings (CPU (consumer), CPU (enterprise), GPU (consumer), GPU (datacenter), Mac) are already computed from real benchmark data, but their reference chips are not yet linked to product pages, so we are not showing them here rather than guess. They will appear once the benchmark-to-product bridge is complete.
