The best value graphics cards under $200 ranked by performance per dollar. Live prices from Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, and Newegg with benchmark data from Tom's Hardware.
PickGPU Score is a composite of Tom's Hardware raster and ray tracing benchmarks across all resolutions (70% raster / 30% ray tracing, weighted by Steam Hardware Survey data). Scaled so 100 = the best GPU currently in the dataset. Value ($/pt) = price divided by PickGPU Score — lower is better value.
Top recommendation: For under $200, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (Nvidia, 8.0GB VRAM) is our top pick with a PickGPU score of 30.7/100, available from $199.99. It outperforms every cheaper card on this list.
