Best GPUs Under $800 in 2026

Updated August 31, 2026

The best value graphics cards under $800 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.
