Our GPU benchmarks hierarchy ranks the performance of all current and previous generation graphics cards, including the greatest graphics cards. Whether you’re playing games or doing high-end creative work like 4K video editing, your graphics card is usually the most important factor in deciding performance, with even the best CPUs for Gaming taking a back seat.
We’ve redesigned our GPU testbed and updated all of our benchmarks for 2022, and we’re now retesting every graphics card from the previous generations. We have finished evaluating the current generation AMD RDNA 2 and Nvidia Ampere GPUs and are nearly finished with the Turing and RDNA series. There are a few other graphics cards from even earlier architectures in the charts, and we’ll continue to add more GPUs to the list as we finish testing.
We have the whole hierarchy utilising traditional rendering first, followed by our ray tracing GPU benchmarks. These, of course, require a GPU capable of ray tracing, thus only AMD’s RX 6000-series and Nvidia’s RTX cards are there. Below our main tables is our 2020–2021 benchmark suite, which includes all prior generation GPUs performing our older test suite on a Core i9-9900K testbed. At the bottom of the article, we also include the traditional GPU hierarchy (without benchmarks).
The tables that follow are sorted entirely by our performance-based GPU gaming benchmarks. Price, graphics card power consumption, general efficiency, and other factors are not taken into account in these rankings. The Radeon RX 6500 XT and GeForce RTX 3050 are the most recent arrivals, as is the MSI version of the RTX 3080 12GB, which has a substantial factory overclock that often puts it ahead of the RTX 3080 Ti. All that remains is for Intel Arc Alchemist to ruin the party.
We are, once again, in the process of revising all of our testing protocols and results. We’ve upgraded to a new Alder Lake Core i9-12900K testbed, revamped our test suite, and are retesting all GPUs from the previous two generations. We’ve finished testing the current generation cards as well as nearly all of the RDNA and Turing GPUs (save for the Titan RTX), and we’re currently working our way through the older GPUs, adding them to the list as we finish them.
Graphics Card Deals
Because of component shortages as well as increasing demand (thanks in part to crypto mining), it’s difficult to find good deals on any graphics card, let alone one with the best GPU on the market. However, under our RTX 3080 offers, RTX 3070 deals, and RTX 3060 deals sections, we have a lot of tips on how to find graphics card savings.
On all three pages, we propose that you consider getting a prebuilt laptop or desktop that includes your GPU of choice. You may either remove the card and resell the PC, or you can choose a gaming desktop that you really like and completely update it. If you choose this route, here are some quick links to assist you find a graphics card deal on a system, as well as a direct connection to see what the latest prices are on the open market.

GPU Benchmarks Ranking 2022
For our most recent benchmarks, we test all GPUs at 1080p medium and 1080p ultra resolutions, then sort the table based on the 1080p ultra results. We also test at 1440p ultra and 4K ultra when it makes sense. All of the scores are scaled in relation to the top-ranking 1080p extreme card, which is the Radeon RX 6900 XT in our new suite. The RTX 3090, RTX 3080 Ti, and RTX 3080 12GB all performed better in 4K ultra, therefore their scores will be higher at that resolution.
You can also check the above summary graphic, which shows the relative performance of the GPUs we’ve tested at 1080p extreme across various generations of hardware. Because we are still testing older cards, we only have a handful RTX 20-series GPUs evaluated for now. Check back in the following days as we’ll be adding more cards.
Borderlands 3 (DX12), Far Cry 6 (DX12), Flight Simulator (DX12), Forza Horizon 5 (DX12), Horizon Zero Dawn (DX12), Red Dead Redemption 2 (Vulkan), Total War Warhammer 3 (DX11), and Watch Dogs Legion are the eight titles we’re utilising for our normal GPU benchmarks hierarchy (DX12). The fps score is calculated by taking the geometric mean (equal weighting) of the eight games.

(26.6fps) 28.0% (51.1fps) TU117, 896 shaders, 1665MHz, 4GB [email protected], 128GB/s, 75W Our revised test suite and testbed favour AMD’s GPUs somewhat, especially at 1080p and 1440p. The RX 6800 XT joins its bigger brother at the top of the leaderboard, outperforming Nvidia’s current best, the RTX 3090. That’s a potentially significant blow to Nvidia, but bear in mind that we’re not included any ray tracing or DLSS results in the table above because we want to run the same test suite with the same settings on all current and prior generation graphics cards. Similarly, the RX 6800 outperforms the RTX 3070 Ti, while the RTX 3070 and RX 6700 XT are nearly identical.
The rankings favour AMD less at the bottom of the chart, where the RTX 3060 and RX 6600 are matched, and the RTX 3050 comfortably outperforms the RX 6500 XT – not that it’s tough, since both the 4GB and 8GB RX 5500 XT also outperform AMD’s current budget offering.
When it comes to previous-generation GPUs, the RTX 20-series and GTX 16-series chips, as well as the RX 5000-series, end up spread among the results. The usual rule of thumb is that with newer architecture, you receive one or two “model upgrades,” so the RTX 2080 Super is just below the RTX 3060 Ti, while the RX 5700 XT is a few percent behind the RX 6600 XT. We only have a couple of cards from even older generations, but the RX 500/Vega and GTX 10-series graphics cards will fill in the gaps in the coming weeks.
Now let’s look at the ray tracing hierarchy.
Ray Tracing GPU Benchmarks Ranking 2022
Enabling ray tracing, particularly in demanding games like those used in our DXR test suite, can result in framerate drops. We’re experimenting with several ray tracing settings, such as “medium” and “intense.” Medium indicates using medium graphics settings while enabling some ray tracing effects, and hyper means enabling all RT options.
Because ray tracing is so significantly more demanding, we’re sorting these results by 1080p medium scores. This is also due to the RX 6500 XT’s inability to handle ray tracing, making testing at resolutions higher than 1080p medium pointless. For the time being, we’ve finished with all of the current ray tracing capable GPUs, with the exception of the Titan RTX, which we’ll add in the next days.
The six ray tracing games we’re playing are Bright Memory Infinite, Control Ultimate Edition, Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite, Metro Exodus Enhanced, and Minecraft, and they all use the DirectX 12 / DX12 Ultimate API. The fps score is the geometric mean (equal weighting) of the six games, and the percentage is scaled accordingly to the fastest GPU on the list, which in this case is the GeForce RTX 3090.

This also puts the RX 6900 XT somewhat ahead of Nvidia’s previous generation RTX 2080 Ti. It’s a significant drop, and we’re not even using DLSS, which is supported by all six of our DXR titles.
You can read about what DLSS Quality mode did for performance on the MSI RTX 3080 12GB in our review, but in a nutshell, it increased performance by 50% at 1080p ultra, 67 percent at 1440p ultra, and 96 percent at 4K ultra — the latter taking performance from an unplayable 26 fps average to a comfortable 51 fps. You may also use the Balanced and Performance modes legally without sacrificing image quality, especially at 4K, which will result in even higher increases.
AMD’s fastest GPUs can barely accomplish 1440p at more than 30 frames per second without some type of upscaling, and none of the GPUs can perform native 4K. However, the RTX 3080 was 45% quicker than the RX 6900 XT, while the RTX 3090 was 72% faster. The next Nvidia Ada and AMD RDNA 3 GPUs should be able to handle 4K at native resolution while maintaining decent framerates, but even so, we expect DLSS or another upscaling method will be required for 60 fps or higher.
Midrange GPUs like the RTX 3070 and RX 6700 XT essentially manage 1080p ultra and not much more, while the bottom tier of DXR-capable GPUs barely manage 1080p medium — and the RX 6500 XT can’t even do that, with single-digit framerates in most of our test suite and one game that wouldn’t even work at our chosen “medium” settings. (Ray tracing requires at least 6GB VRAM to be enabled.)
It’s also worth looking at Nvidia’s RTX cards’ generational performance. The slowest 20-series GPU, the RTX 2060, still slightly beats the new RTX 3050, but the fastest RTX 2080 Ti behind the RTX 3070. Whereas the 2080 Ti effectively doubles the performance of the 2060, the 3090 nearly triples that of the 3050.
2020-2021 GPU Benchmarks Ranking
The following findings are from our earlier version of the GPU benchmarks hierarchy, which used a different test suite and combined results from nine games with six resolution and configuration combinations. All of the scores are merged (by a geometric mean calculation) into a single overall result, which tends to penalise the fastest and slowest GPUs – CPU bottlenecks come into play at 1080p medium, while VRAM limits may wreak havoc at 4K ultra. Since early 2022, when we added the RTX 3050 and RX 6500 XT to the list, these results have not been updated. While we work to complete testing of the remaining GPUs on our new test suite, you can use these earlier results to help influence your purchasing decisions.

Selecting a Graphics Card
What type of graphics card do you require? To assist you in making your decision, we prepared this GPU benchmarks hierarchy, which includes dozens of GPUs from the previous four hardware generations. The fastest cards, unsurprisingly, use either Nvidia’s Ampere architecture or AMD’s Big Navi. AMD’s current graphics cards perform well without ray tracing, but lag behind when RT is enabled – even more so if DLSS is enabled, which you should. Unfortunately, GPU prices remain a significant barrier to upgrading, and we’re likely at least six months away from reaching more affordable levels.Of course, it’s not only about having fun. Many programmes make use of the GPU for additional tasks, and we covered some professional GPU benchmarks in our RTX 3090 review. A competent graphics card for gaming, on the other hand, will typically perform similarly well in sophisticated GPU computing workloads. Buy one of the top cards, and you’ll be able to run games at high resolutions and frame rates with the effects set all the way up, as well as undertake content production tasks. When you get to the middle and bottom of the list, you’ll have to start dialling down the parameters to attain acceptable performance in regular game play and GPU benchmarks.
Of course, it’s not just about high-end GPUs. We put Intel’s Xe Graphics DG1 to the test, which competes with integrated graphics solutions. The results weren’t pretty, and we didn’t even attempt any of them at resolutions higher than 1080p medium. Still, you can see where those GPUs fall on the list of 2020-2021 GPU benchmarks. Fortunately, Intel’s Arc Alchemist, aka DG2, appears to be cut from a different fabric.
If gaming is your primary goal, you must not overlook the CPU. Having the best gaming GPU available won’t assist you much if your CPU is underpowered and/or out of date. Check out our Best CPUs for Gaming page, as well as our CPU Benchmarks Hierarchy, to ensure you have the correct CPU for the level of gaming you want to attain.
GPU Testbed 2022 (with the wrong cooler installed)
Test System and How We Test for GPU Benchmarks
For our testing, we used two separate PCs. The most recent 2022 and later configurations make use of an Alder Lake CPU and platform, whereas our previous testbed made use of Coffee Lake and Z390. Here are the specifications for the two PCs.

Windows 10 Pro (21H1)We use the same testing technique for each graphics card. After launching the game, we run one pass of each benchmark to “warm up” the GPU, then at least two passes at each setting/resolution combination. If the two runs are almost identical (within 0.5 percent of one another), we use the faster of the two. If there is a significant disparity, we repeat the test at least twice more to assess what “normal” performance should be.
We also examine all of the data and look for abnormalities, so the RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 3070, and RTX 3060 Ti will all generally perform within a limited range – 3070 Ti is around 5% faster than 3070, which is about 5% faster than 3060 Ti. If we see games with apparent outliers (i.e. performance is more than 10% higher for the cards stated above), we’ll go back and retest whichever cards are exhibiting the anomaly to determine what the “right” result might be.
Due to the length of time required to test each GPU, updated drivers and game updates that potentially effect performance will unavoidably be released. We retest a few sample cards on a regular basis to ensure that our results are still valid, and if they are not, we go through and retest the affected game(s) and GPU (s). We may additionally add games to our test suite in the future year if they are popular and conducive to testing – see our what constitutes a good game benchmark for our selection criteria for more information.
GPU Benchmarks: Individual Game Charts
The tables above provide a summary of performance, but anyone interested in specific game charts for both the conventional and ray tracing test suites can find them here. These charts were current as of March 14, 2022, with most cards tested with the newest Nvidia 511.79 and AMD 22.2.2 drivers, however some were tested with 511.65 or 22.2.1. (but all Warhammer 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 testing used the latest drivers).

Legacy GPU Hierarchy
Our heritage desktop GPU hierarchy, which dates back to the 1990s, is depicted here. Most of these cards haven’t been tested in a long time, driver support for most of these models has ended, and the relative rankings are skewed. It’s also worth noting that we don’t take memory bandwidth or technologies like AMD’s Infinity Cache into account. The list that follows is mostly intended to highlight the relative performance of designs from a similar time period.
We organised the table by theoretical GFLOPS, but numbers for “Gops/s” on architectures that don’t support unified shaders are missing. This includes GeForce 7 and Radeon X1000 and earlier – in other words, anything before to 2007. We’ve put an asterisk (*) next to the GPU names for such cards, and they’re in the bottom half of the table. Comparing pre-2007 GPUs should be simple, but comparing those older GPUs to newer GPUs becomes more challenging.
