GRAPHIC CARDS PC

The thing which really stands out from our testing is the difference it makes to ray-tracing performance. That's impressive when put up against either the RTX 2080 or 2080 Super, but when you consider that this nominally $699 card can not just match but massively outperform the $1,2 Ti, it really hits home. Though if you do pick up the RTX 3080 today it is a huge generational performance boost over the previous RTX 20-series. I know, that is a lot of things to consider when buying a high-end GPU right now and that's largely because we're on the verge of a new GPU generation, following in the wake of a GPU shortage. However, if you're after something a little more high-powered, maybe wait a minute before splurging out on a GPU right now. It's important to note that with new GPUs coming soon, expect more performance for less, though the more budget-conscious GPUs like the RTX 3060 (opens in new tab) or RX 6600 XT (opens in new tab) aren't likely to be replaced by shiny new cards immediately. Throw in the Intel Arc Alchemist graphics cards later this year as a wild card, and you can expect to see things heat up as the next generation of GPUs enter our lives. Nvidia and AMD couldn't be in better positions, both vying for the top spot in this generation with some truly competitive offerings. The best part? Most of these graphics cards are becoming increasingly (and edging back to below MSRP) available as the Great GPU Shortage dramatically ends.
