Gigabyte RX 6600 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 1,792 shaders | 2,491 MHz boost | $199.99 $179.99 at Newegg (save $20)
The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU now that its price properly reflects its status. It usually fluctuates between $190 and $200, and even at $200, we're getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at 1080p. PC gaming doesn't have to cost a fortune, you know?

The Intel discrete graphics cards have only gotten more relevant since their inauspicious launch. With successive driver releases increasing performance and now a significant price drop, the A750 is one of the most tempting budget GPUs around. It's a bit more power-hungry than AMD's RX 6600 but is a capable 1080p card knocking both RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 out of the value GPU stakes. Be warned, however, that some driver issues do still exist.

Sapphire Pulse RX 6650 XT | 8 GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,635 MHz boost | $209.99 at Amazon
With the RX 6600 XT stock starting to dwindle, it seems like the faster RX 6650 XT is taking its place as one of the best budget GPUs around. It's an 8GB GPU, with the same core specs as the RX 6600 XT, but with a slightly higher clock speed boost. We like the newer RX 7600 more, but it also costs a little more.

PowerColor RX 7600 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,655 MHz boost | $269.99 $232.19 at Amazon (save $37.80)
As the budget baby of the RDNA 3 family, the RX 7600 faces a lot of competition. Not just from Intel and Nvidia, but from AMD's previous generation of cards too. At this price, though, it's quite a bit cheaper than the RX 6700 XT and in some games, it performs nearly as well. It's not the most exciting of graphics cards, though.

ASRock Challenger Arc A770 | 16 GB GDDR6 | 4,096 shaders | 2,150 MHz boost | $279.99 at Newegg
You can score a whole heap of memory here for under $300. Admittedly, the rest of the Intel card isn't quite up to par with the competition from AMD and Nvidia in terms of consistency of performance. But if you need lots of memory for other reasons, this is the way to go.

Zotac RTX 4060 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 3,072 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | $299.99 $279.99 at Amazon (save $20)
If you must have Ada Lovelace, Nvidia's latest gaming architecture, the cheapest way in is this RTX 4060. Faster than the RTX 3060 but the price suggests it should have been better. You do get the full DLSS 3.5 suite, though, and it's pretty decent at encoding video for streaming. Nevertheless, we prefer AMD's RX 7600 or last-gen RX 6700.

Coming in at the same price as the plain ol' RX 6700 XT (which happens infrequently), this version comes with higher core and memory clocks. That generally makes for higher frame rates in games, though that does depend on what you're playing. It's worth a look, especially for all that speedy VRAM.

XFX SPEEDSTER RX 6800 | 16 GB GDDR6 | 3,840 shaders | 2,190 MHz boost | $369.99 at Newegg
This graphic card was launched over three years ago but it's still very potent, especially if you're after ultra-high fps in 1080p shooter games. It has bags of VRAM on a wide memory bus, backed up with mountains of cache. Makes the 8GB GPUs look miserly in comparison.

The RTX 4060 Ti might have had a bit of a rocky reception with that 8GB of VRAM, but we found it performed very well in our review and it makes a very solid mid-range performer, particularly with the ability to take advantage of DLSS 3 and Frame Generation. This is a small twin-fan model that should still run cool and quiet and delivers a lot of gaming performance in a super-efficient fashion.

The Radeon RX 7700 XT might lose out to its bigger brother, but if you're building a system on a budget it still makes a great mid-range card for solid 1440p gaming, as we found in our review of the Sapphire model.

ASRock RX 7800 XT | 16 GB GDDR6 | 3,840 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | $499 $479.99 at Newegg (save $20)
At this price point, the best card used to be the RX 6800 XT but these days we have deals like this one, where the newer 7800 XT has the same price tag. It's only a little bit faster than the card it's replaced, and admittedly it's not a huge discount, but you're still getting a lotta GPU for the money.

ASRock RX 7900 GRE | 16 GB GDDR6 | 5,120 shaders | 2,290 MHz boost | $549.99 $529.99 at Newegg (save $20)
The RX 7900 XT is one of the more recent releases out of AMD, at least in the global market. It started out as a special edition for the Chinese gaming market, but it was rolled out globally to help the red team compete with the green guys. It's a good deal, too, being big chunks of the RX 7900 XT but with a little bit less of everything, to make a very performant but cheaper GPU.

PNY RTX 4070 Super | 12 GB GDDR6X | 7,168 shaders | 2,490 MHz boost | $579.99 at Amazon
The RTX 4070 Super is the latest version of Nvidia's mid-range card. Is it worth more than the regular RTX 4070 and the RX 7800 XT? Tricky to answer, so check out the benchmarks in our RTX 4070 Super review to see if it's the right choice for you. One way or another though, this is still the cheapest version we've found to date.

Seeing a bunch of RX 7900 XTs selling for well less than the original MSRP is a welcome sight, and while they might get overshadowed by some of Nvidia's greatest, they deliver a huge amount of performance. What we like about the Sapphire in particular is that it should run quieter than your average RX 7900 XT. We all could do with a little less noise from our PC.

The RTX 4070 Ti Super might be relatively new to the market, but we're finally seeing discounts on what is a very performant card. This Gigabyte model is as solid as they come with a tri-fan cooler, and with the power of DLSS 3 makes for a mighty addition to any gaming rig.

While Nvidia's replacement for the RTX 4080 is only a little bit faster, the MSRP of the RTX 4080 Super is a fair bit lower at $999. Now, like the RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4070 Ti Super above, we're starting to see decent discounts. This MSI model has a simple tri-fan cooler but runs just as fast and cool as any other model.

Just like with the RTX 4080, it used to be hard to find AMD's RX 7900 XTX heavily discounted down below its MSRP price. But good deals can now be found and we'll happily take a substantial discount on this high-end GPU. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is stupidly fast and there are plenty of good cooling designs for this card, including this one.

RTX 4090 pricing is still silly money, but at least with this card, you're getting it under MSRP. What with all the export ban nonsense, the RTX 4090 was way up over $2,000 for a time. Now it's back down to something vaguely sane. And it's still by far the fastest graphics card on the planet. Or off it, for that matter.

The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU and great value for money if you can score it cheap enough. You're getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at top 1080p graphics presets. At least AMD and Intel are bringing GPU pricing down.

£250 is about as much as anyone should pay for an entry-level GPU but Nvidia's lowliest Ada Lovelace chip only seems to reach this price on rare occasions. While we still don't adore the plain vanilla 4060, the feature set that includes DLSS 3.5 upscaling and Frame Gen does look pretty appealing.

AMD rules the graphics card market's mainstream and budget ends, and the RX 6750 XT is the best GPU at this price point. The RTX 3060 Ti is more expensive and slightly slower in many games. Its popularity means supply is somewhat limited so you might need to wait until it's back in stock.

RTX 4070 prices in the UK are highly variable at the moment so it's worth holding off buying one until it's around the £400 mark. But even at this price, it's a pretty fair deal for what is effectively an RTX 3080 with benefits. It's mostly quicker than the previous-gen card and comes with the excellent DLSS 3 Frame Generation tech, too. The only problem is the RTX 4070 Super can be found close in price and it's a faster card.

It's a great mid-range card regardless, and this Gainward model is a subtle looker, to boot.

The RTX 4070 Ti Super might not have been out for all that long, but we're finally seeing significant discounts. It's a bit of a beast of a GPU, although it's worth keeping an eye on RTX 4080 Super discounts if you can stretch that far. Still, none are going to get as low as the price here I reckon, and the RTX 4070 Ti Super is a worthy addition to anyone's rig.

AMD's mighty RX 7900 XTX is now easy to find well under its original MSRP and it's a seriously powerful graphics card. While it's not as potent in ray tracing and AI/machine learning as Nvidia's equivalent cards, it handles standard rendering extremely well and you're getting more VRAM than you could ever want.

With an MSRP of £999, the new RTX 4080 Super is clearly a better choice than the original 4080, as it's cheaper and a little bit faster. However, finding one below MSRP can be a real struggle. However, this Palit model is comfortably below that and is a very powerful GPU with a decent amount knocked off.
