Best & Worst Graphics Cards Of 2025 Ranked! - THE ULTIMATE TIER LIST

I got the 6800xt as a gift, where would u put it in the chart just wondering. Also I have a 7800x3d cpu. Currently running well on 1440p but I been playing lots of esports what 1080p monitor would u recommend either this set up? Thanks

Picked up an 7900 xtx locally yesterday for 750! A sapphire pulse no less! Original (first) owner was gonna jump on next gen, and had used the card since march 2024. Put it up 750 for a fast sale- I was buying it within 10minutes of his post. Thing is immaculate- undervolted beautifully, oc’s above average. I feel i lucked out…750 no ship, no tax 7900xtx.

[@TS4Edits]

Honestly I do not like high end GPUs as they are majorly overpriced like the 7900xt the 4070ti super and 4090 where there are better price to performance options.

[@antonhallergren588]

Eh I bought a 6800xt on launch. Runs 100+fps in most games at ultrawide. It still kills the 4070 super in many games. It totally depends model to model. The 6000 series from amd are the best gpus since the 1080ti. But I agree rn the best value is in budget cards like the 4060 (for small builds), 6750xt, 7700xt, 7800xt. All under 500 bucks and delivering solid performance in what ppl actually play aka 1080p/1440p without tons of rt or whatever

[@matthewwinnay2911]

love my 4070 ti super

[@ShadowGamingPC1]

goated gpu

[@Chrisspru]

there are two things that make the 4070 ti super more competitive with the 7900xtx: - lower power draw/ very cool running (usefull for sff or final upgrades on aging hardware) - higher relative oc headroom compared to and. allows the card to reduce the perfoance gap. nvidia drivers run more stable, but have worse out of the box settings and a worse ui. if one can manage the bad ui and has the nerves to manualy tune the settings to match amd (like optimizations, color, power settings and shadercache (nvifia default is set to 4gb. amd runs 8gb default)), that can further reduce the rasterization gap. i have nvidia specific workloads, so i had to go with the 4070 ti super. with some msi afterburner work for a mild oc, tuned fan curves and increased power/temp limits, as well as some manualy de-laptoped nvidia control panel settings, the card trades blows with the 7900xtx far better.

[@ozzy1887]

Still would like to know where the 6800xt would fit.

[@ShadowGamingPC1]

if the price was around $420 (that was the last price I've seen before it went out of stock) it would fit in the great value tier in my opinion :)

[@johnmast5538]

I’m not well versed in computer parts but I’m looking into upgrading my gpu I have now into a Rx 7800xt, which version of the 7800xt would be best to buy (QICK 319, SWFT210, Sapphire Pulse, etc)?

[@antonhallergren588]

They're pretty much the same. Pick the cheapest one and Google it to see what user feedback is. If it's bad do the same w the second cheapest one and so on. Usually there's very little difference

[@habibmambuay8760]

This is a better way to tier list gpus. ❤

[@karashuun1083]

7900 GRE should be higher. It's cheaper than 4070 Super and gives more performance. Sure it doesn't have DLSS, but at that point, you wouldn't need DLSS at all unless you are using it for 4K or some niche games.

Please clarify

[@SinicalRevenant]

I think with how lacking the 5080 specs are coming out to be, getting a 4080S is a much better option especially since the 5080 will probably be 3-400 USD more than a 4080S, unless somehow they miraculously manage to get the price close or equal to the 4080S of which is very VERY unlikely.

[@ShadowGamingPC1]

that might be right, but I can't give any recommendations until the 5080 comes out, let's hope for the best!

[@justmatt2655]

Swap the GRE with the 7700xt and this is a great tier list. The 7900GRE is the second most valuable card in AMD's lineup so im not sure why its so low. As for the 7700xt, people are often fooled by the amount of discounts its had, but in reality the price has just gone from a complete scam (450) to still pretty bad (390). If you don't believe me look at the previous gen 6750xt. For only a few % performance drop (which most people wouldn't even be able to tell), you could easily find one for 310 which just shows how bad the 7700xt is. 6750xt will soon be out of stock tho. The 7700xt does sometimes go on sale for 350 and then it is worth getting but not for any more than that

Personally i do think the 4080 super is better than the 7900 xtx . Because they trade blows , but the 4080 super uses like 210 watts when the 7900 xtx like 340 watts . Even if the 7900 xtx is slightly cheaper than the 4080 super ( at least in my country) you'll spend that money you'll save from the 4080 super on having to get a better power supply and higher electricity bill.

[@ShadowGamingPC1]

oh I agree on the fact that the 4080 super is better, and if the price difference is $100 I'd recommend it over the XTX, but when I recorded this video, the price difference was $250, and as of right now the 4080 super can't be found in stock for less than $1400 :(

[@Mr-sBinotto]

​@@ShadowGamingPC1 In my country the 7900xtx is still over 970 €and the 4080 super is about 1000€ . When the price is so close I'd rather go for the 4080 super. But if you don't care about electricity bills and want the extra vram then the 7900xtx is fine. But I care about electricity bill because in my country electricity bills are quite expensive.

2 mistakes spotted in the gpu comparisons: 1) 4070 super is a little bit faster than the 7800 xt, but slower than 7900 GRE. 2) 4070 Ti Super is slower than 7900 xt, not faster. I think the benchmarks he used to compare the gpus are a bit off. However, I think it is an overall great video.

[@MrJflomario]

The XTX should be one tier lower unless it's on sale. At $750 it's easily the best value out there. The 4080 Super is questionable because it can ray-trace and give you the highest performance. Switch the 4080S and 4070TIS. This is just an opinion ofc. 😉😁

You can argue which one is better, if you pit the GPUs against each other.Nvidia would win if its for example 4080 vs 7900xtx, because while they are both have a similar power, the 4080 has RT and slightly better upscaling. But if we take the price into account, AMD is better. FOr example. In Europe you can get a 7900xtx for 800ish to 900ish $, while the cheapest 4080 super is $1200+
