Graphic Cards by Nvidia or AMD, which one is for you?
Looking for the right video card these days can be a challenge since there is so much to chose from! AMD has made some serious awesome cards in 2020 with their RX 5700 XT series graphics card and the RX 5600 XT which hit the sweet spot for Ultimate 1080p gaming and later tried with the AMD RDNA 2 architecture, the Radeon RX 6800 Series balances high quality visuals with exceptional performance. Fast forward to 2022 and Nvidia launched the GeForce RTX 4090, which as expected leaped to the top GPU rankings and benchmarks.
However, towards the end of 2022 AMD released the 7900XTX and 7900 XT, built on the latest AMD RDNA™ 3 architecture with chiplet technology, AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX graphics deliver next-generation performance, visuals, and efficiency at 4K and beyond.
Key features of the 7900 XTX/XT include:
- AMD RDNA 3 Architecture – Featuring an advanced chiplet design, rearchitected compute units and second-generation AMD Infinity Cache technology, RDNA 3 architecture delivers up to 54% more performance per watt than RDNA 2.
- Chiplet Design – The world’s first gaming GPU with a chiplet design delivers up to 15% higher frequencies at up to 54% better power efficiency.
- Generational Uplift – The flagship AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX delivers considerably higher 4K performance than the Radeon RX 6950 XT.
- DisplayPort 2.1 Support – The industry’s only high-end gaming graphics cards to support DisplayPort 2.1 technology with UHBR 13.5, enabling high-refresh 4K (up to 480Hz) or 8K (up to 165Hz) gaming on next-gen displays.
At the other end of the pricing spectrum for 2022, the new Intel Arc A770 and Intel Arc A750 finally arrived, and while they're not the fastest GPUs, they have promise and are priced below their direct Nvidia competition.
Here are the rankings for the latest GPU's in 2022 that use Real-world game benchmarks to determine the rankings of these graphics cards. Mostly in terms of Frames Per Second, not TFLOPS or GB/s or other specification theoretical numbers that are meaningless for the gamer. GPU benchmark results are measured against the user preferred gaming resolution and game quality settings listed below. Although graphics card performance varies greatly among different games, this comparison chart provides a general ranking for graphics cards so you get a good idea on how each compares when gaming.
