Current best value pick: GeForce RTX 5090 leads this list with a PickGPU Score of 100/100 from $3100.00 at $31.00/pt.

PickGPU Score is a composite of Tom's Hardware raster and ray tracing benchmarks across all resolutions (70% raster / 30% ray tracing, weighted by Steam Hardware Survey data). Scaled so 100 = the best GPU currently in the dataset. Value ($/pt) = price divided by PickGPU Score — lower is better value.
