Find the best value graphics cards ranked by performance per dollar. Live prices from Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, and Newegg with benchmark data from Tom's Hardware.
PickGPU updates this page automatically using live prices from Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, and Newegg plus benchmark data from Tom's Hardware. If you are searching for the best value GPU, start here: this list surfaces the graphics cards that deliver the most performance for the money right now.
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.
Each GPU on this list outperforms every cheaper option. The first GPU at or under your budget is always the best choice.
